Just one month after New Times named it one of the best restaurants in Coral Gables, a familiar institution must close its doors.
Beloved Italian restaurant Caffe Vialetto has announced it will close its doors after “26 wonderful years.” The team made the heartwrenching announcement to its loyal patrons on Instagram in the early hours of Wednesday, July 16. The post includes a slideshow of photos over the past two decades, with photos captured by event photographer Robert F. Suarez.
The caption reads, “After decades of flavor and friendship, we’re saying goodbye. To our incredible community, after 26 wonderful years, we are closing our doors at Caffe Vialetto. What started as a humble eatery has grown into something far greater: a space filled with laughter, memories, and heartfelt moments shared over meals. We’re endlessly grateful for your support, your stories, and your appetite. Thank you for making us part of your celebrations, your quiet evenings, and your traditions, and we couldn’t be more honored!”
Longtime Customers Respond: “More than Wonderful Meals. Family.”
Loyal customers immediately took to the comments of the Instagram post throughout the morning, with some writing, “Wishing you the best! I’m heartbroken! So many memories!” “I’m in shambles,” “There are not many restaurants in Miami that can last and thrive for 26 years…certainly not an easy feat and the two of you did it always with hard work, service forward, and delicious food…my family and I will always be grateful for sitting at your tables and all the memories!”…
