La Pecora Bianca is now open at Shops at Merrick Park!

The expansive restaurant will feature both indoor and outdoor dining, a full wraparound bar with approximately 20 seats, and private and semi-private dining spaces. A dedicated private dining room will accommodate up to 20 guests, while the restaurant will also offer options for larger group dinners, celebrations, private events and full buyouts. The Coral Gables kitchen will be led by La Pecora Bianca Culinary Director Ed Scarpone, who developed the opening menu alongside the culinary team. Guests will find signature La Pecora Bianca dishes including Vodka Rigatoni, "Too Much Fried Mozarella", Whipped Ricotta and Tiramisu for Two, alongside new dishes created for South Florida, including a giant Carbonara Raviolo, Lobster Spaghetti “Fra Diavolo”, and Tomato and Melon Carpaccio.

The broader menu will feature appetizers such as Cacio e Pepe Arancini, a selection of crudi, seasonal salads and more than ten housemade pastas, including Linguine Vongole, Campanelle al Limone, and Fusilli Gigante. Neapolitan-style pizzas will include a Truffle Pizza with black truffle and ricotta and the Diavola with vodka sauce and hot honey, while larger plates will range from La Pecora Bianca’'s signature Chicken Vodka Parmesan to a Pork Piccata.

The beverage program will follow the restaurant’s approachable style, with an Italian-focused wine list and a rotating cocktail menu featuring playful takes on familiar favorites. Offerings range from lighter aperitivo-style drinks to more spirit-forward cocktails designed to complement the food. The Spritz Bar features refreshing options like the Portofino Spritz, made with fresh cucumber, gin, St. Germain and prosecco. The Affogato Espresso Martini, crafted with vodka, Mr. Black, crème de cacao and vanilla, and the Arancia Sour, featuring gin, blood orange and lemon, round out the cocktail selection.

True to La Pecora Bianca’s all-day format, the Coral Gables restaurant will expand beyond dinner with lunch and brunch service, giving guests a place to return throughout the week for everything from a casual midday meal to aperitivo and a celebratory dinner.
