For a perfect meal of subs and pizza, look no further than Stanzione 87, a low-key bistro that cooks all its pies in a wood-burning oven. Carbonara pizza, a wood-fired kale caesar salad, and fresh focaccia are among the offerings here. Pour some bubbly and say cin-cin! over your order.

Peruvian specialties are where it’s at for SuViche, a culinary spot that offers just as many filling meals as they do lighter dishes. Order seared tuna tataki, bang bang shrimp, cilantro rolls, and steaming udon noodles right to your doorstep — and don’t forget to add the Friday-night sake.

Although you’ll be tempted to hyper-focus on the plethora of sushi options here, don’t forget to give the small bites some attention. (They’re some of the menu’s most popular items.) Balsamic glazed Brussels, bacon-wrapped dates, and fresh edamame easily compliment salmon, avocado, and shrimp tempura rolls. Order a Spice of Love cocktail for your date night: The drink features fresh jalapeño, passion fruit puree, mango essence, and premium vodka.

At Hutong Miami, you can sample a little bit of everything to create an excellent dim sum meal: poached chili chicken, Sichuan peppercorn prawns, pan-seared lobster baos, and crispy pork dumplings. The restaurant also offers seafood, meat-based, and vegetarian dishes, but for a real taste of China that’ll feel like a trip unto itself, pick the Peking duck with pancakes, a house specialty.

Lime-infused salmon, duck confit, and classic ceviches come together to make Nikkei the perfect mix of Japanese and Peruvian menus. The ideal prelude to any fish entree? Tuna tartare, crispy shrimp, and nori tacos with truffle oil and pickled radish.

This minimalist eatery found inspiration in an izakaya — the Japanese version of a pub specializing in robata-grilled small bites and sushi. Although many diners flock to this popular spot overlooking the Miami River, you can enjoy the best it has to offer from home, too. Mix and match hot and cold, sampling small dishes like fried soft shell crab and fatty tuna sashimi. Stick with small plates or move on to more substantial fare, like miso black cod or the signature ribeye.

Lucali, located on Bay Road, serves up classic Italian favorites and never skimps on the gourmet flair. Start with some baked artichokes or pepperoni chips, and follow that with a crispy-crusted pizza with your choice of toppings. With a commitment to using farm-fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you’ll find excellent options like meatball crumbles, shallots, and portabella mushrooms. Or opt for a plated entree, like the ravioli special.

Inspired by Thai street food and other Pan-Asian flavors, the dishes at NaiYara come in a wide variety so you can sample a little bit of everything, as if you’re walking from stall to stall on a busy Bangkok thoroughfare. Start with appetizers, from cool bites of raw fish to hot small plates, like sticky ribs and dumplings made from wagyu beef. Follow those up with a noodle dish, such as pad see ew or some Thai curry.

This popular Miami eatery barely needs a formal introduction. The northern Italian spot has everything you’d ever want from a lavish indoor buffet: comforting plates of cappelletti (a truffled ricotta ravioli), seared octopus, grilled entrees like veal chops, and bottles of champagne. (Yes, those are delivered on Caviar, too.) Top off your dinner with a slice of Key lime cheesecake or some vanilla bean gelato.

Planta is an exceptional pick for Miami-based vegan food with a sophisticated flair. Start your meal with vegan versions of night-out favorites, like steamed dumplings or loaded nachos. For your main course, more comfort food awaits. Bring home some cashew mozzarella-stuffed lasagna or a veggie burger oozing with vegan cheese.

Joe’s Stone Crab is a Miami staple. Although the restaurant’s luxurious dining room is a treat in itself, you can enjoy a great meal from its kitchen just as much at home. Fresh stone crab is a treat you can find only in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, making it an extra-special pick. Comforting dishes like stone crab bisque, coconut shrimp, ginger salmon, and lobster mac and cheese are an instant hit. Follow that up with a slice of authentic Key lime pie for a truly Floridian meal.

Few dinners say “fancy-ish night in” more than sushi. At Blue Ribbon, Japanese flavors blend with southern comfort, so you can balance out the cool umami of your favorite sushi rolls with the restaurant’s renowned fusion fried chicken: half a bone-in bird that’s juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, with a dusting of chili powder and a wasabi honey dip. You also can order up Honoo platters, soy-marinated salmon, and hearts of palm salad.

This stylish steakhouse lives inside the chic 1 Hotel & Homes on South Beach. At your place, you can impress your dinner partner with a selection the restaurant calls “surf, turf & vine” for two. It comes with two 8-ounce filets, four grilled prawns, and a bottle of red or white wine. Steak and chicken dinners for two (which include bread and caesar salad) are also on the menu.

This French-Mediterranean brasserie gives off a powerful date-night vibe. Capture that vibe with a multi-course meal, starting with opulent hors d’oeuvres like escargot, steak tartare, or chilled cucumber soup. For your main course, enjoy grilled branzino, mussels cooked in white wine, or a tagliolini drizzled with truffle butter sauce.

With both a sushi bar and Japanese robata grill, Makoto offers the best of hot and cool dishes. Start with an order of sushi rolls, such as the negi toro maki: chopped fatty tuna, scallions, and wasabi nestled in rice. Follow that up with some small bites from the grill, like tiger prawns or king crab with ponzu butter. For your main, go over-the-top with a wagyu filet or miso sea bass. Everything on the menu is so delicious, it’ll be hard not to order it all.
