Graspa Group and Ariete Hospitality Group celebrated the VIP grand opening of Da Angelino Cucina Italiana – the newest modern Italian dining destination in Coconut Grove’s CocoWalk. This first-of-its-kind partnership marks a milestone: Graspa Group’s long-awaited debut in Coconut Grove and Ariete Hospitality Group’s first Italian restaurant.
Guests sipped signature cocktails and enjoyed a three-course, sit-down dinner showcasing Da Angelino’s signature Italian menu. The night included a surprise “flash mob” performance by Florida Grand Opera, with performers posing as hostesses, servers and guests before breaking into a stunning operatic performance — perfectly setting the tone for a true celebration of Italian culture.
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the occasion, led by Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Consulate General of Italy Michele Mistò, Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce President Rhys O’Connell, GMBHA President & CEO Curtis Crider, Angelin Kometa — the Florence-born hospitality veteran and namesake of the restaurant who will oversee front-of-house daily — along with Graspa Group Founder Graziano Sbroggio and Ariete Hospitality CEO Andrew Falsetto.
Da Angelino is officially open to the public as of today, Thursday, September 4. The restaurant will be open from Monday through Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m., Fridays from 4 to 11 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 11 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 10 p.m.
