vista

The folks behind Downtown’s buzzy Fratelli Milano are now slinging fresh pasta in Buena Vista. Mostly outdoors, with an expansive bar and just-opened rooftop, vista is where rustic Italian cuisine meets tropical boho vibes. Food runs the gamut from traditional pasta dishes and charcuterie spreads to seasonally inspired local eats, like the flavorful Florida snapper over sweet coconut rice. There’s plenty to drink, too, such as wines by the glass and bottle and a shortlist of handcrafted cocktails. If that’s not enough to put you in the romantic mood, there’s a 150-year-old banyan tree that shades the cozy space.
