IGNAZIO CIPRIANI ANNOUNCES MR. C BRAND’S NEWEST CONCEPT, LE SPECIALITA CAFÉ & MARKET

To Debut This Winter At Terra’s Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove

Ignazio Cipriani announces a new concept from the Mr. C brand, Le Specialita Café and Market, a luxurious Italian café and marketplace set to debut at Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove this winter. Set inside the recently completed residences, this 5,250-square-foot eatery will bring sophisticated Italian flavors and vibrant culinary experiences to the local community and Mr. C residents.

Ignazio Cipriani, President of Mr. C Hotels and Residences, commented, “We are excited to share our love for Italian cuisine and create an inviting space for both locals and residents. Miami and Coconut Grove in particular are experiencing an evolution in culinary culture, and there is an increased desire for high-quality food and experiences at every level. Le Specialita Café & Market will offer a unique blend of Italian tradition and modern luxury set in the beloved waterfront village of Coconut Grove, that reminds us of our Cipriani family legacy from its beginnings.”

Le Specialita Café and Market represents the Mr. C brand’s continued evolution in delivering distinctive culinary experiences. With a menu that fuses family traditions and inspirations from various Italian regions, the café will offer an elegant setting for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

Meyer Davis, celebrated hospitality design studio, worked closely with the Mr. C brand to design the interiors for the double-height, floor-to-ceiling glass space. The décor will feature nautical motifs, leather banquettes, and high-polish finishes in a color palette of fresh navy blues, reflecting the stylish maritime ambiance.

The café, inspired by the glamor of the Italian Riviera, brings a touch of Rome and Milan to Coconut Grove. Residents and visitors can expect an ambiance filled with conversation, clinking crystal flutes, and the aroma of freshly brewed espresso. Signature offerings will include house-made Italian bread, organic salads, made-to-order pasta, and the Cipriani family’s renowned egg pasta dough prepared with fresh seafood, vegetables, and classic sauces.

For residents, Le Specialita will provide curated at-home experiences, including cooking classes, wine dinners, and custom delivery menus. The café will also be available for private events, from intimate celebrations to elegant dinner parties, all imbued with 4th Generation Cipriani’s iconic Italian style.

Signature Offerings:
The café will serve a variety of authentic Italian dishes, including house-made focaccia, paninis and desserts. A Milano-style coffee service will be available daily, offering guests hand-delivered cappuccino and brioche. 

Gourmet Market:
Le Specialita Market will offer daily takeaway, delivery, and catering services, as well as gourmet products from Cipriani Food. Shoppers can purchase organic sauces, olive oil, vinegar, Bellini Cipriani, and Prosecco, bringing a taste of Italy home. Residents can also customize take-away options such as Little C’s lunch boxes and yacht catering.

Located at 2655 S. Bayshore Drive, the Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove recently completed the two-tower development including 227 condominiums and ground-floor retail space, offering residents unparalleled views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami. 

“Coconut Grove has evolved into one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the country,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra, the renowned development group behind Mr. C Residences, “Le Specialita Café & Market adds to the Grove’s vibrant fabric with a European sensibility that celebrates design, lifestyle and cuisine. We’re thrilled to deliver yet another project to the area and welcome our residents home.”
