Fratelli Lyon, an innovative Italian café in Miami's design district, has expanded its seating, both in general seating and at the bar. In collaboration with Italian contemporary furniture company Driade, owner Ken Lyon has added another 35 seats for dining as well as 12 more seats at the newly expanded bar. Lyon also has introduced a selection of Italian gourmet products for sale.
"We've been getting a ton of inquiries about the high quality products that go into our food and it seemed like a natural next step to begin to offer some of these delicacies for purchase," said Lyon of his decision to go retail.
Many of the imported ingredients that go into the restaurant's dishes are now available for purchase - a large percentage of which are not available anywhere else in South Florida. Specialty products range from hand numbered, hand-bottled Italian olive oils from Molise and Italian wines from small estates to artisan cheeses made by small Piedmontese cheese makers, with prices that vary from $4 to $50.
Fratelli Lyon is opened for lunch and dinner.
