As Taylor Swift prepares to perform at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Swifties have the perfect opportunity to dine like their idol and check out some local Taylor Swift-themed programming. Here are a few spots in South Florida where you can embrace being a Swiftie.
Located in the luxurious Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach, Vitolo offers a blend of traditional Italian and American flavors. Executive chef and co-owner Anthony Vitolo, who also runs Emilio’s Ballato in Manhattan, delivers an elevated dining experience. Fans can enjoy iconic dishes like Pollo Al Parmigiana or Mianese, both featuring tender breaded chicken topped with tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella, reminiscent of Taylor’s favorite NYC spots.
In the trendy Sunset Harbour neighborhood of Miami Beach, Lucali is a go-to for authentic Italian pies and calzones. Taylor Swift has been spotted at the original Brooklyn location, and this Miami outpost mirrors that same charm. Try the famous Three-Cheese Fusilli, a dish that became a permanent item due to its immense popularity.
For a more upscale experience, visit CATCH Miami Beach, a favorite of many celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Known for its seafood and sushi, CATCH is where the couple was seen during a romantic dinner in New York. Signature dishes like the Truffle Butter Filet and decadent espresso martinis are highlights that perfectly capture the chic dining experience Swifties crave.
