No reservations and no menu: This new Coconut Grove spot serves only one main dish
Now, 3190 means lasagna — and only lasagna.
3190 is the third Miami concept from 84 Magic Hospitality, this time in collaboration with Miami's Kush Hospitality. The 84 Magic group has become known for its minimalist menu restaurants, starting with Cotoletta, which also serves only one dish (veal Milanese) and San Lorenzo, which serves only two (pasta with meat or pasta with seafood).
Located just around the corner from Cotoletta in Coconut Grove, 3190 will only offer 'Si Papa' lasagna, so named for what Chef Giulio Rossi's daughter said every time she was offered the dish. It's a traditional Bolognese lasagna, but for those who prefer their lasagna meatless, there's a vegetarian option served with pesto, peas and green beans.
The restaurant, which 84 Magic calls a 'lasagna speakeasy,' has only 24 seats and has priced its lasagna at $15. The perfect wine pairing, Rossi says, is the Villa Di Corlo Lambrusco from Modena, Italy, but there are other reds and whites if you'd prefer something else. You can also order tiramisu for dessert.
Because of its proximity, 3190 can also be used as an alternative for guests waiting to be seated at the popular Cotoletta on busy nights.
'Instead of turning guests away, we can now offer them something equally special next door,' co-founder Andrea Fraquelli said. 'This is another way we can ensure our guests are always being taken care of.'
As with its other restaurants, 3190 won't have a menu and does not offer delivery (although you can call ahead and pick up takeout). There will be no reservations accepted, either, which goes along with 84 Magic's ethos of simplicity. At Cotoletta and San Lorenzo, you can't make a reservation online or through an app; you have to actually call the restaurant.
Fraquelli was inspired to create the streamlined approach to menus after watching customers at his London restaurants order the same dishes over and over. Customers almost never deviated from what they loved best.
'That sowed a seed,' he told the Miami Herald in June when San Lorenzo opened. 'It wasn't so risky to reduce the number of choices.'

Giorgio Armani Looks Back on 50 Years in Fashion
'I'm not one for self-congratulation,' Giorgio Armani says, 'but I can't deny I'm proud to have reached such an important milestone.' The Italian legend is referring to his fashion house hitting the half-century mark this year (he also happens to have recently cleared another personal benchmark: turning 91). His modesty aside, the fashion world, and particularly the modern-day concept of a 'lifestyle brand,' owes a major debt to Armani. As he himself admits, 'my vision…extends beyond fashion,' with Armani hotels, residences, restaurants, clubs, and cafés now dotting the globe. The designer compares creating a custom living space to designing couture, 'where the encounter between client and creator brings something rare and unique to life.' And he delights in bringing a taste of Italy to the world. (His favorite dish at his nearly year-old restaurant in Manhattan? The risotto alla Milanese, naturalmente .) Olivier Kervern All looks, Giorgio Armani. His expansive vision extends across the Atlantic, all the way to Hollywood, where he clocked in to the dream factory early on, dressing Richard Gere in American Gigolo , Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street , and countless red-carpet stars. (He names Diane Keaton, accepting her Annie Hall Oscar in 1978, and Jodie Foster, in a cream-colored suit at the ceremony in 1992, as two favorites.) Gen Z has embraced him just as much as golden-era stars did; Mikey Madison attended the Critics Choice Awards in a vintage Armani gown from 1992, while Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya have turned to the Milanese master for their own star-making moments. The designer says he's 'immensely proud that the younger generations are seeking out vintage Armani. It means that what I created 20 or 30 years ago still speaks to an audience that may not even have been born yet.' Olivier Kervern Our current fascination with minimalism has also sent many younger acolytes flocking to Armani's collections. 'My work is defined by a constant process of simplification,' he says. 'I strip away to add value and meaning. It's a more challenging path than it might seem, because simplicity is never simplistic.' However, he doesn't consider his oeuvre to be quiet luxury, which, he finds, 'tends toward the very simple, almost elementary. The kind of subtraction that interests me adds meaning to a garment; it doesn't strip it of substance, but rather removes it from the fleeting whims of passing trends.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern His career, too, has proceeded in that kind of steady arc: He started his own brand at age 41, after working for labels like Cerruti and Loewe. 'My path began later, yes, but that gave me the right awareness and maturity to enter a complex and fast-moving world,' he says. Olivier Kervern One Armani hallmark that's made a comeback in recent seasons is the tailored suit, which returned to runways with a vengeance as customers tired of dressed-up athleisure. 'I think the fashion cycle has naturally brought us back to a new sense of composure and elegance,' the designer says. And the suit is 'a garment that projects great strength and authority for women, both in and out of the workplace.' Someone who's worn Armani's suits with panache is Cate Blanchett, who says it's the style she feels most at home in. ('My most-loved Armani look always seems to be the last one I wore,' she says.) When she asks Armani if she can wear a look from the menswear collection, 'he smiles, gently rolls his eyes, and says, 'Let me do something.' And he will present a riff on the masculine, but for my form.' Olivier Kervern Armani has long championed the work of emerging designers in the Milan scene. And while much of fashion may be experimenting with catwalk alternatives or storming the metaverse, he remains a firm believer in the power of the IRL runway show. 'Clothes must be seen live, on bodies in motion. The real question is whether shows today are still conceived for the clothes or purely as moments of media entertainment,' he says. 'I prefer substance over spectacle, which can become damaging if it's an end in itself. But sometimes, I feel very alone in defending this position.' Olivier Kervern Olivier Kervern For fall 2025, Armani went back to his roots, quite literally: He titled his collection 'Radici.' He wanted to riff on his own history as 'a way to imagine the new and dress the moment. This doesn't mean I am rigid or repetitive. I observe the world and follow the shifts in needs and lifestyles.' As Blanchett says, 'Mr. Armani innately understands flow: the movement of thought, of emotion, and of course of the body.' Olivier Kervern He has ample reason for going back to the old ways. 'I still see fashion drifting away from its true purpose, which is, essentially, to clothe people in a way that enhances life, redefines roles, and reshapes imagery. Today, revenue goals on the one hand, and communication for its own sake on the other, have distorted everything. The clothes have become secondary—or, worse, they've become mere concepts,' he says. 'And too much is produced, in a constant cycle that diminishes value. Olivier Kervern 'The legacy I hope to leave is one of commitment, respect, and attention to people and reality. That's where it all begins.'

More American couples are turning to Italy's ‘dolce vita' in a quest for memorable weddings
James Atkinson and Samantha Fortino toured a Tuscan vineyard and learned to make pasta and a Bolognese sauce alongside their family and friends in Florence. Atkinson discovered a penchant for chianti, while Fortino fell for Italy's hugo spritz — a cocktail that posed no risk of staining her wedding dress on July 24. Italy has hosted a number of star-studded weddings in the past decade, most recently Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez 's extravaganza in Venice. 5 Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez kiss as they leave a hotel for their pre-wedding reception in Venice, Italy, on June 26, 2025. AP Away from the spotlight, tens of thousands of ordinary Americans have set their sights on the country for their special day in recent years. 'Weddings in America can be a little too grand and a little bit too big and it ends up not really being about the couple,' said Fortino, 28, a neonatal nurse from Skaneateles, New York. 'We both just really wanted something intimate and meaningful.' Over 15,000 foreign couples wed in Italy last year, up 64% from 2019, the year before the pandemic, according to market research from the Center of Tourist Studies of Florence. Growth was led by US couples, who account for almost one-third of that total. Italy was the top international destination for American couples after Mexico, according to Maryland-based wedding planning website The Knot. For many Americans, Italy embodies the simple, beautiful romance of a bygone era. Weather is balmy and its varied landscapes, from the sea to the mountains, stunning. 5 Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes with their daughter Suri, who became engaged in June 2005, hold hands as they leave their hotel ahead of their wedding ceremony in Rome, on Nov. 16, 2006. AP The food is familiar and crowd-pleasing. But perhaps the biggest driver of the recent uptick is ample opportunity for a range of outings, which together with the wedding event are alluring for those on a quest for unique, memorable moments — part of a consumer trend termed 'the experience economy.' 'In the United States, everything is just more expensive for one night and we wanted to make an experience, so we did two nights here,' said Atkinson, 31, who owns a concrete company. 'It just seemed like way more worth it to us to do that and make a trip out of it with our family, our loved ones.' 'Nobody cancels' One guest who had never visited Italy was ecstatic about the invite, and took advantage to tack on side trips, first to Venice and then with the wedding crew to Cinque Terre. Another, Gary Prochna, nearly didn't attend because of work piling up at his paving company. He eventually came around and was floored by the venue — a 15th-century villa with a sweeping view over Florence and its famous Duomo. 5 The boat carrying George Clooney and his wife, Amal Alamuddin, is surrounded by media and security boats as they cruise the Grand Canal after leaving the Aman luxury Hotel in Venice, Italy, on Sept. 28, 2014. AP 'I got married in the United States and our venue was very nice. I thought — until this moment — we had the best wedding,' said Prochna, 68, adding that he now hopes his daughters will get hitched abroad. Marcy Blum, a prominent luxury event planner based in Manhattan, said almost 90% of the weddings she plans are in Italy. 'The reason Italy is so popular is because that's where your guests want to go,' she said. 'You send an invitation that you're getting married in Capri or Positano and everybody comes. Everybody. They want to come. Nobody cancels.' Jack Ezon, CEO of Embark Beyond, a luxury travel and destination event service also based in Manhattan, said 60% of his company's events were outside the US before the pandemic. Today it's almost 90%, nearly all split evenly between Italy and France. 5 People look at a couple in wedding clothes posing for photos in front of St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, on Jan. 17, 2019. AP The threat of tariffs under President Donald Trump has given destination weddings a boost. Ezon has moved six events from the US to Europe this year, because people were afraid tariffs on alcohol would cause their bar bill to explode. Cost comparison The shift to destinations has benefited planners with networks across Italy and local vendors. According to Wedding Italy, the husband-and-wife team who put on the Atkinson wedding, American clients spend three times as much as Italians, due to more elaborate wedding decor and other events in their multi-day lineup. 5 A bride poses for photos in front of Rome's Pantheon, on June 28, 2013. AP Average spend on hometown weddings in the US was $32,000 last year, according to The Knot. By comparison, foreigners' weddings in Italy cost an average $70,600 and typically have dozens fewer guests, the Center of Tourist Studies of Florence's data showed. In the garden where the Atkinsons held their service, cypress trees swayed in the wind as the bride emerged from the chapel, beaming in her lace mermaid-silhouette gown. She walked down the aisle as speakers played the theme song to Star Wars. It was her sneaky trick to make the groom cry, and it worked like a charm. Before the exchange of rings, before the lovebirds threw their arms around one another, their officiant said: 'Traditionally I would ask: Is there any reason why this couple shouldn't be married? But for goodness' sake – we all flew to Italy and can't get our points back! So instead I'll ask: Who here approves of this union?' Cheers all around.
