Our Story
At the heart of Ariete is a decade-long conversation between a chef, a city, and a craft. After every service, Chef Michael Beltran has often found himself sitting in the quiet dining room, reflecting on the heat, sound, and energy that just filled it—the very essence of what makes a restaurant come alive.
That energy is our story. For ten years, Ariete has been more than a Michelin-starred restaurant in Coconut Grove, it’s been a home. A home for a team that moves with stubborn heart and shared purpose. A home for Miami, a city that has supported and shaped us at every turn. And a home for a cuisine that is unapologetically ours: Cuban-American in soul, precise in technique, and generous in spirit.
We built Ariete not by chasing trends, but by listening to our ingredients, our community, and the unforgettable moments shared around our tables. Every dish, from our iconic Duck Press to what’s still to come, is a product of that dialogue.
We’re not done talking. Or cooking. The next chapter is already being written, with the same heat, the same sound, and even brighter light.
