If the Brickell City Centre hopes to be the center of the neighborhood, then the upcoming three-story Italian food hall hopes to be its epicenter. La Centrale (pronounced Chen-TRAH-leh) is the newly revealed name of the multilevel vertical mall that will house a host of Italian-inspired restaurants, cafes, a bar, a wine shop and a cooking school over its 38,000 square feet inside the Brickell City Centre. Construction began this week, and the hall is slated to open in the fall.

“We believe Miami is having a great moment now, especially culturally,” said New York City restaurateur Jacopo Giustiniani, who is designing La Centrale’s food concepts. New York and Chicago travelers might liken it to Miami’s own version of Mario Batali’s Eataly, the multilevel food hall and cooking school. However, La Centrale will be less a market and more a bundling of eateries that will represent an ambitious 20 regions in Italy. Each floor will have a discrete use, just as each restaurant and station will have a distinct focus.
