Roberta’s | Miami Beach 

New York-based restaurant Roberta’s will open at the 72 Park condo project in Miami Beach

The pizzeria leased 3,000 square feet on the ground floor at the condo tower that’s under construction at 580 72nd Street in the North Beach neighborhood, according to a Roberta’s and Lefferts’ news release. It will mark the restaurant’s first permanent Florida outpost. 

The restaurant is a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a designation for the quality of its food and service. Co-founders Brandon Hoy and chef Carlo Mirarchi opened the first Robera’s in 2008 in a warehouse in Brooklyn, expanding it globally since then. 

Lefferts, with offices in Miami Beach and New York, is developing the 22-story, 206 condominium with one- to three-bedroom units and a total of 10,000 square feet of commercial space. Unit owners can rent out condos on a short-term basis. Russell Galbut is a project investor.  

Completion is expected next summer, though Roberta’s will open early next year.

The firm leased 30,000 square feet at The Gateway at Wynwood building at 2916 North Miami Avenue, and 31,200 square feet at 100 Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami, a Mindspace news release says. The tenant will open the Wynwood outpost on Sept. 12, and the downtown outpost later this year, according to a Mindspace spokesperson and the firm’s website. 

R&B, led by Shelby Rosenberg, completed the Gateway in 2021. The building has 195,000 square feet of offices and almost 26,000 square feet of street-level retail.
