La Natural

Javier Ramirez and Andreina Matos created La Natural in their backyard. While co-founding and running some of Miami's most award winning restaurants such as Alter, Palmar and Bachour, they were hosting friend and family for sourdough pizzas and natural wines “al fresco” in the Miami, Florida home. Javier made the pizzas in a wood burning oven, a dough recipe he developed over the years and Andreina poured natural wines, mostly American. Naturally, this became the seed for their next restaurant: La Natural. A common vision for great taste with landlords MVW Partners led them to choose Little River for the location, where despite being off the beaten path the restaurant has gathered a significant following with the Miami crowd. Javier’s pizzas and Andreina’s wine selection are complimented by a plates section created for the restaurant by New York City chef Diego Moya. The space, designed by Andreina, who also designed all their previous restaurants and can be described as a "Mediterranean house", with a roll up door helping make the entire restaurant one big outdoor space cooled by hang ceiling fans. An island in the middle of the restaurant will serve as the beverage and service station. The playlist is funky alternative with hints of African beats and reggae.
