Bar Bucce | Miami’s Little River
The hospitality group that owns Macchialina in South Beach will open a new restaurant in Miami’s Little River.
Pirolo Hospitality leased 3,600 square feet at 7220 North Miami Avenue for its Bar Bucce, an Italian pizzeria, wine shop and market, according to a news release from the tenant and landlords. Bar Bucce is expected to open this year.
Pirolo Hospitality is led by chef Michael Pirolo; his partner, Jennifer Chaefsky; and his sister, Jacqueline Pirolo.
The landlords, Miami-based MVW Partners and Nashville-based AJ Capital Partners, are working on adaptive reuse projects across roughly 25 acres in Little River. Founded by Benjamin Weprin, AJ Capital Partners bought a majority stake in MVW’s 320,000-square-foot portfolio in the neighborhood in 2021.
MVW was founded by husband-and-wife team Matthew Vander Werff and Ashley Melisse Abess.

Records show the owner of the 603 Northeast 13th Street building is a Toronto-based entity led by Frank Luccisano, Arthur Kilajian and Leo Graci. An entity tied to The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi in Fort Lauderdale owns the 1412 Northeast Fourth Avenue building, and an entity led by Kenneth Zarrilli of Fort Lauderdale-based TransForma Realty owns the 850 Northeast 13th Street building, according to records.
