Bianca at Delano

Italians believe that a table filled with good friends and family is the key to longevity. Inspired by that, we've chosen three Italian eateries for the perfect, family-friendly Mother's Day brunch. Buon appetito!

Bianca at Delano South Beach
Bianca will launch its new ongoing Sunday brunch on Mother's Day, offering traditional Italian dishes and an assortment of midday favorites. The afternoon feast will feature sushi, courtesy of Delano's Umi Sushi & Sake Bar, Bloody Mary oyster shooters, cured meats, and handmade pastas. Diners can also fill their plates with cuts of rosemary prime rib, Belgium waffles, and classic pastries. The $55 per person cost includes one complimentary Bellini or Bella cocktail and a reduced valet parking fee. Brunch is $25 for children. 10 AM–4 PM. 1685 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-674-5752; delano-hotel.com

Spartico Trattoria at Mayfair Hotel and Spa
Sunday brunch at this casual-chic, Roman-inspired restaurant spells artisan brick-oven pizzas alongside a full breakfast buffet. Moms will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of Champagne while enjoying the smooth sounds of saxophonist Diego Medina. Spartico's brunch is $21.95, but diners can also order lunch menu appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, or unlimited mimosas à la carte. 11:30 AM–2 PM. 3000 Florida Ave., Coconut Grove, 305-441-0000; mayfairhotelandspa

The northern Italian-inspired eatery also dishes out wood-fired oven pizzas, a bountiful raw bar, a classic carving station, and an assortment of elegant desserts. The brunch buffet is $55 per person and includes one complimentary Bellini or mimosa. Upgrade to unlimited mimosas and Bellinis for an extra $20.
