After reinventing kosher in West Palm, Israeli chef Eyal Shani sets his sights on Miami with Bella
Celebrated by top publications for its sunlit courtyard, handmade pasta, and Mediterranean‑meets‑Southern‑Italian soul, Bella is emerging as one of Miami Beach’s most influential new restaurant openings.
The Observer highlights Bella as one of Miami’s most exciting new openings, spotlighting Chef Eyal Shani’s inventive approach, standout pasta dishes, and the restaurant’s lush, Mediterranean-inspired courtyard.
The New York Post features Bella in its weekly dining and hospitality roundup, recognizing the restaurant’s debut in South Beach, Shani’s expanding Miami presence, and the striking courtyard that anchors the space.
Time Out Miami showcases Bella as a standout new arrival in South Beach, praising Chef Eyal Shani’s first Italian venture, its handmade pastas, and the restaurant’s piazza‑inspired courtyard inside the Liberty Park Hotel.
Nation’s Restaurant News spotlights Bella as Chef Eyal Shani’s newest Miami project, noting its Italian‑driven menu of antipasti, handmade pastas, seafood, and Shani’s signature giant schnitzel, all opening inside the Liberty Park Hotel
If you glance at its website, you may assume the new restaurant at the Liberty Park Hotel serves pasta made by Bella, an Italian cook who virtually lives in the kitchen and recreates time-honored Italian cuisine.
Miami’s dining landscape welcomes a new arrival on January 29, 2026, with the opening of Bella, the latest concept from acclaimed chef Eyal Shani. Located within the Liberty Park Hotel (formerly South Beach Hotel) and created in collaboration with THINK Hospitality.
Chef Eyal Shani will bring a soulful expression of Southern Italy to Miami Beach, where handmade pastas, market-driven plates, and a sun-drenched courtyard come together in a dining experience defined by warmth, rhythm, and Mediterranean allure.
Miami’s pasta boom shows no sign of slowing down, but come November, the city will get something different: Bella, an Italian-inspired restaurant from Eyal Shani, the chef behind HaSalon in Miami Beach and dozens of restaurants around the world.
Eyal Shani likes to talk about tomatoes. Not in the way most chefs talk about tomatoes, like they’re tools, seasonal and useful. He talks about them like they are breathing.
