Otto & Pepe opened September 12 in Miami’s vibrant Wynwood Art District. It comes from South Florida hospitality veterans Gabriela Chiriboga and Samuel Ghouzi, who founded 1-800-LUCKY, the multi-concept Asian food hall also located in Wynwood. They’re billing it as Miami’s first pasta bar, with a focus on house-made pastas and natural wines.
The menu was created by Italian chef Viviana Varese, known for her now-closed Michelin-starred restaurant Viva in Milan and for W Villadorata Country Restaurant on the Italian island of Sicily. Rounding out the team are wine expert Karina Iglesias and mixologist Matias Iriarte.
