Leonardo, Miami Beach’s new restaurant and lounge channeling the golden era of 1930s to 1950s Italian-American dining, has launched a lineup of weekly programming. The rollout includes weekend brunch, late nights and midweek moments such as Monday’s The Prohibition Club, Thursday Ladies’ Night and Aperó Hour.
“Leonardo was designed to bring people together through great food, conversation and a sense of occasion,” said Igor Dze, co-founder of Leonardo. “These new experiences allow guests to engage with the restaurant in different ways throughout the week, whether joining us for brunch, aperitivo or immersive evening programming.”
The full list of new programming includes:
- Weekend Brunch: Launching Sunday, June 7, Leonardo brings the leisurely tradition of long weekend brunches to Miami Beach every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The new menu leans into elevated breakfast classics, including New York Steak E Uova ($49); Bagel Al Salmone Affumicato ($27) with smoked salmon, cream cheese, arugula and avocado; Lobster Roll Al Caviale ($35) and French Toast ($24) with berry limoncello syrup, just to name a few. Diners can also opt for a prix-fixe menu ($55 per person) featuring a selection of two brunch courses and a choice of dessert. Unlimited beverage packages are also available, including Mimosa ($29), Cocktail ($39) or Empire ($200), the latter of which features Dom Pérignon Brut.
- Aperó Hour: Launching Monday, June 8, Leonardo’s signature Aperó Hour, inspired by the Italian aperitivo tradition, will offer the convivial energy of a Neapolitan aperitivo gathering every Monday, Thursday and Friday from 5-8 p.m. Signature $10 pours include the Sunset Spritz, Porna Lisa, Dolomiti Beer and My Art Garita alongside a selection of wines, beer and zero-proof cocktails like the Blood Orange Mockarita. Dishes will move beyond standard bar fare with options such as fresh Oysters ($3 each), Tuna Tartare Cone ($15), Arancini ($12) and Polpo ($15).
- The Prohibition Club: Every Monday from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., Leonardo travels back in time, transforming the restaurant into a Prohibition-era affair with secret cocktail flasks, “do not cross” tape wrapped across the interior and staff dressed in vintage-era attire, from suspenders and Peaky Blinders-style fedoras to Gatsby-inspired dresses. Live saxophone performances weave through the night as guests gather at VIP tables named after iconic figures, films and cities, such as Al Capone, Johnny Torrio, The Bronx and The Godfather.
- Thursday Ladies’ Night: Available from 7-11:30 p.m., this gathering is inspired by classic supper club glamour. Ladies enjoy $10 cocktails at the bar, including the My Art Garita, Porna Lisa and Leo-Tini.
- Late Night at Leonardo: Every Friday and Saturday from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., Leonardo’s classic lounge atmosphere shifts with deeper lighting and live DJs, transforming Leonardo into a lively supper club.
