The Group’s Newest Concept Forte by Chef Adrianne, is the latest collaboration with the beloved celebrity Chef is Set to Open on Miracle Mile in April 2021
Rodney Barreto, Chairman and Chief Visionary Officer of Barreto Hospitality who is best known for bringing and organizing big events and sensational venues to South Florida announces the launch of their newest endeavor, Forte by Chef Adrianne. Slated for an April 2021 reveal on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Forte will offer its guests a carefully curated culinary journey through an Italian gastronomic experience paying homage to Calvo’s Italian heritage and bears her Mother’s maiden name.
Barreto Hospitality broke into the fine dining and nightlife seen in November of 2019 with The Wharf Ft. Lauderdale on the Las Olas Riverfront – an open-air venue boasting numerous food concepts and several bars. A month later, the group debuted Rivertail, a seafood restaurant adjacent to The Wharf with Chef Jose Mendin of Pubbelly fame at the helm. In collaboration with Breakwater Hospitality, The Wharf and Rivertail have opened to rave reviews and have weathered the Covid-19 pandemic that ravaged the industry.
In June of 2020, the Group was back at it with the re-opening of the famed Red Fish Grill in the beautiful Matheson Hammock Park. Back from the proverbial ashes left behind by Hurricane Irma, Red Fish by Chef Adrianne opened its doors in the summer of 2020 during the height of the pandemic-induced shutdowns. Patrons flocked to the new Red Fish by Chef Adrianne, the Group’s first collaboration with Chef Adrianne.
Now setting its sights on downtown Coral Gables, the Group acquired the former Cibo Wine Bar at 45 Miracle Mile and have again teamed up with Chef Adrianne to bring genuine, fine Italian cuisine to Coral Gables. Forte’s menu will juxtapose generations-old traditions with modern techniques to bring the “best of Italy” to the table a la Calvo’s Maximum Flavor. Guests at Forte will be virtually transported to a veritable Tuscan Villa replete with rustic design, sunflowers, home-made focaccia, and traditional desserts. Authentic indulgences include fresh tomatoes sourced directly from Italy and scratch Italian cocktails.
“We are very proud of our venues and of our ability to continue to create quality, high-paying jobs in our community during what has been such a difficult time for the industry and the Country as a whole. When Forte by Chef Adrianne comes online in the Spring of 2021, we will have created over 400 new jobs in South Florida in an 18-month period. We are blessed to work with great Chefs and partners and we look forward to a bright future in this busines” said Barreto.
Forte is Barreto’s second partnership with Chef Adrianne. It’s been a match made in culinary heaven. Forte will occupy the former Cibo space at 45 Miracle Mile and will seat 260 guests between its indoor and outdoor dining areas.
“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with Chef Adrianne again,” said Rodney Barreto, Chairman and CEO of Barreto Hospitality. “We have developed many projects with Chef Adrianne over the course of the past year. Watching her at Redfish, seeing how hands-on and passionate she is, truly makes her an ideal partner and we are excited about what the future holds for us.”
