Sant Ambroeus to Open New Restaurant in Miami Beach’s The Fifth Development

The iconic Italian restaurant Sant Ambroeus is set to debut in Miami Beach at The Fifth Miami Beach office development. The 7,000-square-foot restaurant is expected to open in late 2025 and will be located on the ground floor of Sumaida + Khurana’s and Bizzi+Bilgili’sBizzi + Bilgili’s 62,202-square-foot building at 944 Fifth Street. This restaurant will be Sant Ambroeus’ eighth full-service restaurant and its second in Florida.

The Fifth Miami Beach is currently under construction and represents the first office development in the upscale South of Fifth district in decades. Developers secured a $47.25 million construction loan from Cain International last year to finance the project.

Sant Ambroeus is part of the rapidly growing Gherardo Guarducci’s SA Hospitality Group, which operates four restaurants and three coffee bars in New York City. The group expanded into Florida in 2016 with a location in Palm Beach. SA Hospitality Group recently opened another restaurant, Felice, in Brickell and West Palm Beach, marking a continued and exciting expansion in the state.

Since the pandemic, Miami’s South of Fifth district has seen a surge in high-profile restaurants from New York, such as Carbone and Catch. Adding Sant Ambroeus reflects this trend and establishes the area as a culinary destination.

The Corcoran Group’s Cyril Bijaoui and Noa Figari represented SA Hospitality Group in the Miami Beach lease agreement, while Aaron Butler of Avenue Real Estate Partners represented the ownership group of The Fifth. This collaboration between these esteemed entities is a significant and impressive step in bringing Sant Ambroeus to Miami Beach.
