Nino on catering to a multicultural clientele, as the food and beverage manager of a hotel in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾, “I had to learn quickly about all the culinary customs and traditions of the various ethnicities. Consider this: in a Muslim diet, pork is strictly forbidden, so the majority of Malay dishes tend to be of beef or chicken. However, beef is never eaten by Hindus, to whom the cow is sacred. Pork remains the favorite meat of the Chinese. The Malay curries make great use of the omnipresent coconut and seldom include the yogurt so much favored by the Indian cooks. To the Chinese the sweet and sour flavor takes preference over the curry. And so it goes. The blend of spices is endless, and cooks are always turning out exciting combinations. Malaysia combines the best of Eastern and Western cuisine, and this is largely due to the fact that it has been a melting pot of those cultures.”-From Nino Pernetti’s Caffe Abbracci Cookbook,📕 His Life Story and Travels around the World.🌎

The Spritz is now one of the ten bestselling cocktails at bars and restaurants in the U.S. and is increasing in popularity faster than other top ten! The Spritz was born in the Veneto region of Italy 🇮🇹. In the 1800’s, Austrian soldiers in the region couldn’t handle the strength of the wine🍷 so they would dilute it with a little water,💧or what the Germans called a “spritz.” Here’s our signature spritz, the Pirlo Spritz: Santa Margherita DOCG, Aperol and club soda. Christian demonstrates how easy it is to make.

Nino on converting his hotel restaurant in Brussels into a medieval attraction, “On the Alitalia flight to Milan from Caracas, I picked up the airline magazine. An ad about Bunratty Castle in Bunratty, five miles from Shannon Town, Ireland, caught my attention. They were using the medieval castle for special events and for tourist groups. They staged medieval-style dinners with period entertainment, décor, and food. I thought that was a good idea. When I arrived in Brussels I was greeted by staff members I knew and by new ones. I started immediately to make phone calls to Ireland, and in a few days I was on my way to Shannon Town to contract for a package deal for a year which included artists, stage production, singers, minstrels, cooks, decorators, uniforms, and waiters. The hotel restaurant was converted into a medieval attraction. Many tourist groups came to see this spectacle, and it fascinated the locals, too.” -From Nino Pernetti’s Caffe Abbracci Cookbook,📕 His Life Story and Travels around the World.🌎

Caffe Abbracci on Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables is a perfect example of an Italian restaurant that embodies all these qualities. The name "Abbracci" means "hugs" in Italian, and the restaurant's atmosphere and service make customers feel like they are being embraced with affection.
One of the standout dishes at Caffe Abbracci is their Center Cut Filet Mignon, which is dry-aged for 10 oz. and served au jus. This dish is a carnivore's dream come true! But it's not just about the meat - Caffe Abbracci also offers classic Italian comfort food like Old School Bolognese and Classic Lasagna Bolognese that will transport you to Nonna's kitchen.
And let's not forget about dessert! Tiramisu is a staple on every Italian restaurant menu, but Caffe Abbracci takes it to another level with their lovingly crafted version made from layers of ladyfingers soaked in espresso with whipped cream and mascarpone cheese.
But what really sets Caffe Abbracci apart is their dedication to honoring the legacy of founder Nino Pernetti. On the first anniversary of his passing, guests were offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast his remarkable life. It's clear that this restaurant values its patrons as much as its delicious food.
