Cita's Italian Chophouse

Upscale, Brickell-quality steak joint in a friendlier neighborhood with more parking, less pretense. Narrow interior with rich woods, a long, sleek bar, warm lighting, and white tablecloths and high-back leather booths. Outdoor patio tables under big, white umbrellas are surrounded by wooden walls and tropical foliage. The menu satisfies everyone from extreme carnivores (Porterhouse for two, done medium-rare: amazing) to Flexitarians (ricotta gnocchi tossed with shrimp, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes, and the salmon are musts). We recommend sharing, and going light on the mediocre bread to save room for it all.
