You hear about power lunches all the time, but the term is taking on a new meaning at Gianni’s at the Versace Mansion. Aside from the opulent views and vibes (hello, gold-plated tiles and hand-painted ceilings!), chef Thomas Stewart promises a first-class Italian-Mediterranean-infused meal inspired by the late designer’s own dining palate. Offerings like the grilled Spanish octopus, mushroom risotto and spaghetti alla chitarra are as lavish as Gianni Versace’s taste and the 24K Million Mosaic Pool sparkling in front of you. The desserts also delight and include your choice of a decadent fruit platter or a selection of sweet sorbets and ice creams that will top off the perfect and posh lunch on Ocean Drive. 1116 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, (786) 485-2200, vmmiamibeach.com
