Just when you thought Miami couldn’t handle yet another Italian restaurant along comes Gaia. Thankfully, it’s not just another in a long line of that boot–shaped country’s offspring eateries—this has got a whole new kick to it.

First off, Gaia’s on the beach. Well, as close to the beach as you can get without getting sand in your shoes anyway. In fact, it’s set itself up in the new Bentley, the Hilton family’s bulked-up boutique hotel down at the good end of Ocean Drive. And that friends, was a very wise move indeed.
