Maitardi on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Maitardi hosted its final celebration with samplings from Graspa Group’s sister restaurant which include Salumeria 104, Soyka, TiramesU, Spris, Van Dyke Café they also had complimentary Prosecco by Segafredo L’Originale on Lincoln Road. Throughout the evening  we enjoyed artists from the MaiArt series, musicians from Noche Latina and MaiMusic, resident and visiting DJs, sponsors, partners and patrons who supported Maitardi since its opening.

“Graspa Group’s successful venue in the Design District: Maitardi, has been one of the most beloved destinations in the area for locals and visitors alike since November 2009. With the recent interest by several luxury brands and a planned large-scale expansion in the area, DACRA, property owner of the Maitardi location, elected to retake the location.“We are very excited at the possibility of coming back to the Design District once construction is done and we are grateful to everyone who have helped make Maitardi what it is today,” states Graziano Sbroggio of Graspa Group. “Maitardi enabled us to work with new and exciting elements including the beautiful and bountiful space, the contemporary Italian menu, the events and, of course, the patrons.”

Said Craig Robins Dacra’s CEO, “We are hopeful that one of my favorite cafes in the neighborhood Maitardi will return after our planned expansion. They are part of the soul of the neighborhood and Graziano is one of the best operators in Miami.”
