On a forgotten stretch of Lincoln Road, this mom-and-pop Italian is the antithesis to glitzy Miami. But the fresh, simply prepared seafood - done with an Italian slant - has earned the restaurant a loyal following. Typical entrées include linguine with clams, cilantro, ginger and garlic; hog snapper in white wine and lemon butter sauce; or black grouper with capers and tomato concasse. Soft and darkly lit, AltaMar has a warm ambience that makes up for the humdrum decor.
