If you're in the mood for handmade pasta, flaky empanadas, and desserts that don't mess around, Luna Pasta e Dolci is waiting for your tastebuds just 3 minutes from Belle Meade.

A rising star in the bustling streets of MiMo, Luna Pasta e Dolci, a cozy, no-fuss Italian spot, has quietly built a loyal following of locals and out-of-towners who know great food when they taste it.

The man behind the magic? Chef Gabriel Medici — the genius who created a menu that's equal parts classic comfort and creative twist, where every dish is prepped with care, made from scratch, and served with that warm, neighborhood energy that makes you want to stay awhile.

Start with Luna's signature empanadas —perfectly golden with just the right amount of crunch. 

Then, when it's time for pasta, go for the creamy, dreamy Golden Plate or the short rib ravioli that melts as soon as it hits your fork.

And if you're not skipping dessert (trust us, you shouldn't), the Nutella tiramisu is the move — light, luscious, and the perfect amount of sweetness to make you wish you'd saved room.

Whether grabbing a quiet dinner or picking up takeout on a Wednesday night, Luna hits the sweet spot between simple and superb — with zero pretension and unforgettable flavors.

If you've never eaten an arepa with two hands while trying not to cry happy tears, have your first of firsts at Doggi's Arepa Bar, a unique Venezuelan experience just 3 minutes from Belle Meade.

Nestled right off Biscayne Boulevard in MiMo, this family-run dining spot brims with bold flavors, friendly faces, and an extensive selection of comfort food that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about sandwiches.

Here, the arepas are the stars (the name gives it away!) — grilled cornmeal pockets stuffed to capacity with juicy meats, melty cheeses, and all the saucy goodness that exists, with fan favorites that include the Santa Barbara (churrasco, avocado, tomato, and shredded cheese) and the Pabellón, a Venezuelan classic stacked with shredded beef, black beans, fried plantains, and white cheese.

But the choices don't stop there. 

At Doggi's, you'll find cheesy tequeños, towering patacones (fried plantain sandwiches), and even a few surprises that will have you forget about your diet in seconds!

Sure, Doggi's is far from fancy, but it is dangerously good — so good you might find yourself accidentally ordering enough for tomorrow, too. 

Hey, no judgment.

Are midnight cravings calling your name? 

Answer with chopsticks and chilled sake at Moshi Moshi, just 3 minutes from Belle Meade.

Perfect for closing out the night or even those just getting started, this long-standing Japanese gem on the Upper East Side has been keeping Miamians fed and festive since 1997, growing from a cozy neighborhood sushi spot into a beloved late-night tradition, drawing in locals and newcomers alike with its laid-back vibe and welcoming spirit—just like the friendly Japanese phrase it's named after.

At Moshi Moshi, it's totally acceptable to show up post-party in heels or sneakers and dive headfirst into a rainbow roll — there are no outfit (or serving) restrictions here!

Their menu? A glorious mix of Japanese classics and Latin-infused creations—think fresh sashimi and ramen sitting side by side with bold ceviches and tangy tiraditos that remind you you're still very much in Miami.

If light bites are your groove, the izakaya-style plates will have you debating between miso eggplant, wagyu gyoza, or crispy Brussels sprouts tempura. 

Pro tip: don't debate — order it all.

In a city that doesn't sleep, Moshi Moshi is where you refuel in style — with sake in hand and sushi on standby.
