Have you been to @raosmiamibeach? Rao’s Miami Beach opened a few weeks ago in the St. Moritz Tower, at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel! Rao’s is a culinary national treasure widely acclaimed for its authentic, southern Neapolitan Italian cooking and home-style family ambiance. Although this is the restaurant’s first location in Florida, Rao’s first opened 127 years ago in Harlem, New York and is celebrated as one of the oldest family owned and operated restaurants in the country. Make sure to order Rao’s Traditional Meatballs!
Paola Mendez
Paola Mendez is a hypnotherapist, published author, and the curious soul behind Coral Gables Love and The Blogger Union. Her journey didn't start in a clinician's office — it started at age 15, battling a mind that used food to quiet a constant internal critic. After two decades at war with her own subconscious, searching for peace as a self-described "introvert in a loud world," Paola found her way out through hypnotherapy. That same journey pushed her out into the city she loves, discovering the gems hiding in plain sight all around Coral Gables. Today, she channels both passions into everything she does: helping people quiet their inner critic through her hypnotherapy practice Pao Hypnosis, sharing those subconscious healing tools through her app Mochi Zen, and showcasing the people, places, and flavors that make South Florida worth savoring — one matcha latte at a time. She is also the author of A Taste of Coral Gables, a cookbook featuring recipes from the city's top chefs. Say hello at info@coralgableslove.com
