Danny DeVito's Limoncello! -- G. Elena Calero


Following the recent triumphant opening of the DeVito Restaurant in South Beach, Danny DeVito came again to Miami for the fashionable South Florida launch of his own lemon-flavores liqueur premium line. DeVito's Premium Limoncello was unveiled Monday, September 17, at the Wine and Spirits store in South Beach. The Limoncello is bottled in a black bottle with a transparent lemon on the front. A 750ml bottle will cost $23.99 and it will be available in selected markets this coming fall. Limoncello is solely produced using lemons from Sorrento, Italy, where they are cultivated and processed in a distillery in the Sorrento peninsula.
The Limoncello liquor has a permanent space in all plates at DeVito Restaurant. Main courses overwhelm the menu with well-prepared meats and inspired sides. Shrimp and Scallops DeVito’s Limoncello is one of the best pasta dishes. Sautéed shrimp and large scallops are tangled in fettuccine. The sauce is a limoncello-butter blend, infused with flavor from mushrooms and julienned bell peppers.

For a roasted garlic-infused classic, there is a serving of traditional Greens and Beans, served as appetizer. If looking for pizza, the Prosciutto Shrimp is among the favorites. Large tiger shrimp are wrapped with thin-sliced prosciutto, grilled and drizzled with herb-infused oil. Roasted red peppers and hot banana peppers are served alongside.

Dishes are artistically put together with modern adaptations of classic Italian recipes. Diners have a chance to get creative with the Create Your Own Pasta feature offered at lunch and dinner time. Choices range from eight pastas, five made-to-order sauces and as many as ten extra accompaniments for the personally designed dish.

Summertime dishes purely prepared and bursting with the fresh flavors of the season are the perfect canvas for a drizzle of fine-quality balsamic vinegar, according to Paolo Laffite, senior executive chef at DeVito Restaurant.
DeVito’s signature dish is the Global Steak Flight. It combines cuts from three regions of the world: Japanese Kobe Beef (one of the most expensive meats), Australian Wagyu Rollatini and American Kobe Flat Iron. The price: $325!!! The high prices and tasteful dishes are complemented with a chic interior design. It has fireplaces, brick walls, Venetian chandeliers and also an outdoor area. Be sure to check out this new hot spot.
