No reservations and no menu: This new Coconut Grove spot serves only one main dish
You may remember when 3190 Commodore Plaza was Vicky's House, the retro spot that specialized in over-the-top milkshakes and was designed to look like a 1980s kitchen. 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.' 3190 Where: 3190 Commodore Plaza, Miami Hours: 5:30-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 5:30-10:30 p.m. Friday; noon-3 p.m. and 5:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday; noon-3 p.m., 5:30-9 p.m. Sunday Follow: @sipapa.3190

Another no-menu restaurant opens in Coconut Grove today
Three's a trend: Opening today in Coconut Grove, 3190 becomes Miami's third no-menu concept from 84 Magic Hospitality—the group behind Cotoletta (also in Coconut Grove) and San Lorenzo in Little River. The team has pioneered singular-focus restaurants, where all the diner has to decide is what to drink and whether to save room for dessert. At 3190, it's all about lasagna ($15). 'Si Papa,' named for executive chef Giulio Rossi's daughter—who always said yes to her father's signature dish—features a classic Bolognese preparation. Skipping meat? A vegetarian version with pesto, peas, and green beans is also on offer. Squares of housemade tiramisu ($9) and a tight list of Italian wines by the glass round out the experience. Seating is mostly counter service, and there are no reservations, takeout or delivery. The idea, say the owners, is to accommodate the spillover crowd from neighboring Cotoletta, which is just as tiny and cozy. If you're someone who likes to customize everything, 3190 might not be your vibe. But if you're into the idea of handing over the reins, this spot takes the guesswork out of dinner. You can't always get what you want, but a bubbling lasagna and glass of Lambrusco might be exactly what you need on your next night out.
