Sommelier - Casadonna

About Casadonna:

Casadonna is a Coastal Italian-inspired restaurant developed in partnership between Groot Hospitality and Tao Group Hospitality. It is housed in the same Mediterranean revival building as Miami's historic Women's Club, located in the city's burgeoning Edgewater neighborhood. In fact, the name "Casadonna" is derived from the setting—it is a fusion of Italian words translating to "house of the woman."

Riviera-style Italian cooking serves as the heart of Casadonna's cuisine. The menu features the freshest and finest local and imported products, with signature handcrafted dishes. Plates are based around traditional recipes found in the coastal towns of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano and Gaeta, and each is presented in a contemporary fashion. Bespoke cocktails and an extensive wine list complement this approach.

Casadonna will seat up to 366 guests in both indoor and outdoor dining and bar areas, all of which have been visualized by the designer Ken Fulk. The atmosphere is lush, leafy, stately and golden, conveying both a nod to the site's legacy (The Women's Club building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974) and a reflection of modern Miami tastes. Design highlights include a tranquil indoor-outdoor flow (including a covered, high-ceilinged atrium), iconic paned and vaulted glass windows, original gates, elaborate chandeliers and distinctive floor patterning.

Casadonna employs team members who demonstrate a passion for hospitality and dedication to company values and customer service. We are a diverse organization that provides the opportunity to excel in a fast-paced multicultural environment. We are always looking for passionate people who will embrace our belief of hospitality, company growth and customer experience. Our commitment to diversity, teamwork, and integrity are indicative of the service we provide to our guests.
