Fiola Miami to shutter as part of Gioia Hospitality and Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants split
Say arrivederci to one of Coral Gables' most glamorous dining rooms: Fiola Miami is closing its doors this June. But don't mourn too long—a Michelin-approved steakhouse is taking its place. Gioia Hospitality Group and Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants have officially ended their partnership, with the Fiola Miami management agreement set to conclude on June 30. The refined Italian destination, known for its standout pastas and award-winning wine cellar, will serve its last meal on Saturday, June 21. Incoming in its place is Daniel's, a Fort Lauderdale steakhouse hit that's heading south for an encore. Gioia founder Tom Angelo says the new Daniel's outpost is in response to overwhelming demand. 'We've had dozens of our regulars visit us at Daniel's from Coral Gables and South Miami,' he told the Miami Herald. 'They say this is the type of cuisine that doesn't exist in the community.' The Miami edition of Daniel's will include a larger kitchen, an expanded menu (Fiola favorites like the caviar carbonara and grilled tuna puttanesca are staying), a refreshed interior palette and an elevated bar scene featuring tableside martinis and a special burger-forward bar menu. TVs will also be added to make the bar feel more like a lively hangout, albeit one where you can order Dover sole. The transformation is being overseen by the Gioia team behind Daniel's meteoric rise in Fort Lauderdale, which earned Michelin Guide recognition just six months after opening. That crew includes Chef Danny Ganem, Kassidy Angelo, wine and beverage director Daniel Bishop and director of operations Scott Ozler. As for the split, it's all love. 'It has been a privilege to work alongside Chef Fabio,' said Angelo. Trabocchi echoed the sentiment: 'We are proud of what we achieved together and wish Gioia Hospitality continued success in this and all their future endeavors.'

Italian restaurant Fiola is closing in Coral Gables. Here's what will replace it
One of the most popular and glamorous restaurants in Coral Gables is closing. Fiola Miami, the upscale Italian restaurant known for delectable pastas and an award-winning wine cellar, will be closing this summer after seven years. The original Fiola in Washington, D.C., which earned a Michelin star in 2018, is the creation of Italian chef and restaurateur Fabio Trabocchi, while Fiola Miami was owned and operated by South Florida-based Gioia Hospitality through a management agreement. The agreement between Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants and Gioia comes to an end on June 30. Gioia founder and CEO Tom Angelo has a new plan for space: to open a bigger second location of his Fort Lauderdale steakhouse Daniel's, which opened in 2024 and was added to the 2025 Michelin Guide after only six months. In February, Gioia also opened D's, an upscale sports bar next door to Daniel's that draws packed crowds for local sporting events. Angelo, whose Gioia team includes Chef Danny Ganem, culinary director; partner Kassidy Angelo; wine and beverage director Daniel Bishop; and director of operations Scott Ozler, said that he got a lot of feedback from his regulars asking about a Daniel's style restaurant in Coral Gables. 'We've had dozens of our regulars visit us at Daniel's from Coral Gables and South Miami, and without exception they say this is the type of cuisine that doesn't exist in the community,' Angelo said. 'They've really embraced what we've done. We feel to secure long term success for years to come, the best path forward is a steakhouse rather than an Italian concept.' That said, the new Daniel's will feature some of the old Fiola favorites created by Ganem. The Fiola space has a bigger kitchen, which means that a bigger menu than the Fort Lauderdale Daniel's offers is possible. Expect to see the popular Dover sole and the grilled tuna puttanesca as well as the basil Caesar salad, hamachi crudo and tuna tartare on the menu, as well as a few of the most popular pasta dishes, like the rigatoni vodka and the caviar carbonara. The look of the restaurant will change a little — Angelo says the design will include a new color palette and a few 'refreshments' — and the team at Gioia plans to enhance the bar service with touches like tableside martinis. There will also be a special bar menu that features items like Ganem's burgers and a couple of TVs added to the bar in order to make it more of a gathering place. The staff will remain the same, and La Terrazza rooftop bar will still be available for private parties. The last day of service for Fiola is Saturday, June 21. After that the space will be closed through July. Angelo hopes to open Daniel's sometime around the first of August. It's turned out to be an ambitious year for Gioia Hospitality: the group is also opening the Italian restaurant La Cala at Grove Isle, which is expected to open sometime in the winter of 2025/2026. There's a lot of work ahead for the team, but Angelo is thankful for the years working with Trabbocchi and said the partnership ended cordially. 'I'm incredibly grateful for the services provided by Fabio Trabocchi and his team over the last seven years,' he said. As for the loyal Fiola guests, he hopes they'll give Daniel's a try. 'We want people to feel they're coming back home after a summer vacation, and they had a refreshing of their home done by designers,' he said. 'They'll get a world class steakhouse — and a lot of old favorites.'

Serial shoplifter stole 54 bottles of Jack Daniel's and 20 bottles of Champagne in one go
Serial shoplifter stole 54 bottles of Jack Daniel's and 20 bottles of Champagne in one go Ryan Robinson stole alcohol worth more than £5,500 from one Tesco store in just 20 minutes Ryan Robinson (Image: South Wales Police ) A "persistent and prolific" shoplifter stole thousands of worth of alcohol and perfume in a series of raids at shops in west and south Wales. During one of the thefts Ryan Robinson helped himself to 54 bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey, 20 bottles of Champagne, and 10 bottles of vodka as well as two pizzas and packets of crisps. Swansea Crown Court heard the 51-year-old defendant has 124 previous offences on his record including 95 thefts. Sending Robinson down a judge told him it was time for stores "to be rid of him" for a significant period of time. Cailtin Brazel, prosecuting, told the court the spree of offending began on July 13 last year when Robinson walked into the Tesco supermarket in Pembroke Dock with two large bags which he filled with 16 bottles of alcohol including whiskey, brandy, vodka, and Champagne before leaving without paying. The total value of the stolen goods was £463. The court heard that 11 days later Robinson walked into a Tesco supermarket in Aberystwyth, again with two large bags, and stole 54 bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey, 20 bottles of Champagne, and 10 bottles of vodka from the shelves along with two pizzas and multiple bags of crisps. The total value of the goods taken on that occasion was £3,566. The prosecutor said the defendant returned to the same shop some 20 minutes later and stole another £2,000 worth of alcohol. The court heard that Robinson was recognised from CCTV footage by a police officer who had previously dealt with him and was arrested and taken to Cardigan police station. However he became "obstructive and aggressive" in the cells and refused to be interviewed. He was subsequently charged with three counts of theft from a shop and was bailed but he failed to turn up to court and was convicted in his absence. A warrant was issued for his arrest For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter here. Article continues below The court heard heard Robinson's offending then moved to Bridgend and on December 18 the defendant stole fragrances and cosmetics to the value of £2,777 from the Boots shop in the town's Caroline Street He was arrested later that same day after returning to the shop and once again proceeding to full his bags with items. The court heard he was interviewed the following day but again was obstructive and aggressive to officers. Ryan Robinson, of Heol Calfin, Ravenhill, Swansea, had previously been convicted at trial of three counts of theft from a shop and had pleaded guilty to one count of the same when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. He has 67 previous convictions for 124 offences including 95 theft matters. At the time of the spree he was subject to a suspended sentence for an offence of shoplifting. Alexandra Wilson, for Robinson, said the defendant still denies he committed the Pembroke Dock and Aberystwyth thefts. She said the defendant lived in council-provided accommodation in the Ravenhill area of Swansea which had been specially adapted to take account of his health needs and she said he was fearful of losing a home which has been "a place of safety for him" were he to receive an immediate custodial sentence. Article continues below Judge Huw Rees described Robinson as a "persistent and prolific offender" who had been given an opportunity by the courts in July 2023 when handed a suspended prison sentence but who had gone on to commit further like offences. He said: "The time has come for shops and stores to be rid of you for a significant period of time". Robinson was sentenced to two years in prison for each of the west Wales thefts and to 16 months for the Bridgend offending all to run concurrently one with the other and the judge activated three months of the previously-imposed suspended sentence to run consecutively to the two years making an overall sentence of two years and three months. The defendant will serve up to half that sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.

Stephen Colbert Takes a Swig of Jack Daniel's While Dishing on Recession Indicators
Like the rest of America, Stephen Colbert is trying to figure out whether we're actually heading into a recession. To answer that pressing question, the CBS late night host turned to some non-traditional indicators. By the official definition of a recession, the financial event occurs when a country experiences two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product growth. During the first quarter of 2025, the United States saw its first signs of shrinkage with the GDP falling at a 0.3% annualized pace. But like any wise man, Colbert knows to look for signs beyond traditional reports. 'Instead of full-sized booze bottles, the company that makes Jack Daniel's reports that consumers are buying more small bottles lately,' Colbert said on Wednesday night. 'Could be a sign of recession. Could be that it's just Little League season.' At that, the comedian pulled out a mini bottle of Jack Daniel's and gave his best drunk Little League dad impression. ''Hey ump, Tanner was safe!'' Colbert said, drinking from the tiny bottle. ''No, Linda, this was not like the violin recital!'' Another alcohol-related indicator has to do with craft beer sales being down. 'If people can't afford craft beer, they'll take to the streets. It'll be the first million brother-in-law march,' Colbert joked. Sales for men's underwear has also dropped 6% as some professionals have observed that men only stop replacing their underwear when they're worried about money. Finally, strippers have reported that they're getting half the tips they previously received. 'But what those customers lack in tips they make up for in sparkling personality,' Colbert said. Watch the full CBS monologue above. The post Stephen Colbert Takes a Swig of Jack Daniel's While Dishing on Recession Indicators | Video appeared first on TheWrap.
