Pasta & Juliet, a casual Italian spot that opened in Brickell in August 2025, has quietly called it quits after roughly six months in business. The ground-floor space at 1000 S.

At the same time, higher-end Italian projects, including Seia at 830 Brickell, which is slated to debut this spring, show that demand for Italian dining in the neighborhood is still strong at a range of price points and formats…
