The Villa by Barton G: The Former Versace Mansion

One of my very favorite parts of my Miami vacation was the meal I enjoyed at  the infamous former Versace mansion, now transformed into a restaurant titled The Villa by Barton G. From the ambiance to the cuisine, it couldn’t have been a more perfect evening. And the incredible present I was gifted at the end of the dinner only made the visit that much sweeter! But before I get ahead of myself, let’s take a look at the scrumptious food that was served:

Everything was to-die-for: unique mixes of exploding flavors all working together to create the most elegant, savory, and certainly luxurious cuisine in all of South Beach.

Almost as mesmerizing as the food was the Versace dinnerware that the cuisine was all served upon, from napkin holders to bread and butter plates:

    

           

After expressing interest in the dinner plates, our served informed us that some items were actually for sale! After dinner, we made our way to a sitting area where many Versace home goods were presented before us for purchase, which is how I ended up with an astounding present to take home. As soon as I learned that the very plate I was engrossed with inside the restaurant was also available to buy, my heart was pining for it’s unusual beauty. While certainly on the expensive side, I know I will be keeping this extravagant present for decades:

                

I leave my darling readers with a parting shot of the devastating steps upon which the legendary Gianni Versace was shot while retrieving the newspaper in front of his very own home, now the entrance to this spectacular restaurant:
