Drawing inspiration from the fond memories of his Italian grandfather Angelo ‘Mamo’ Mammoliti and his upbringing in the South of France, Mikaël ´Mamo’ Mammoliti, known as Mike, along with his partners Chef Salvatore Marcello and Steven Fruman, set out to create a modern twist on Italian nostalgia, introducing Mamo to the world. Now, Mamo is making its mark on Miami — perhaps one of the most impactful culinary scenes in the US right now — in the heart of Brickell, as it prepares to re-open its doors on Friday, July 21st.

He believes in the magic of simplicity: “I believe that less is better. I want people to forget their reality for a minute, even if it’s just for the time of their dinner. I’ve been trying to capture a time when elegance and manners were just a norm. I’m kind of nostalgic [for] certain eras that were before my time. That’s why you see these original movie posters in the restaurant that I have been collecting over the years,” says Mammoliti.
Mamo’s interior exudes this nostalgic charm, adorned with original movie posters that Mike has lovingly collected over the years, adding a touch of classic Hollywood glamour to the restaurant’s ambiance.
