Segafredo L’Originale Announces Farewell Celebration After 26 Years in Miami Beach

Graspa Group, the award-winning Miami-based hospitality firm behind some of South Florida’s most beloved Italian dining destinations, has announced that Segafredo L’Originale will officially close its doors this summer following a  26-year run on Lincoln Road. To celebrate the restaurant and nightlife destination’s lasting legacy, the team will host an all-day farewell celebration on Sunday, June 21, from 2-10 p.m.

Open to the public, the event will invite the community to come together for a final toast and a trip down memory lane honoring the memories, music and moments that made Segafredo part of the fabric of South Beach culture for more than two decades. Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of bubbly upon arrival while enjoying Segafredo’s regular à la carte menu, signature cocktails and live music throughout the day. The celebration will also reunite many of the DJs who helped define Segafredo’s iconic atmosphere over the years for one final set on Lincoln Road.

“When we opened Segafredo, we wanted to create an authentic Italian-style bar where people could gather at any hour of the day for great food, drinks, music and conversation,” said Graziano Sbroggio, CEO and owner of Graspa Group. “What followed became part of the rhythm of Miami Beach for 26 incredible years. I’m deeply grateful to every guest, employee and DJ who helped shape that journey, especially to the City of Miami Beach, the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District and Colony Theatre for their longtime partnership and support. Like all beautiful things in life, this chapter must come to an end. We are proud of what we built.”

Since opening in June 2000, Segafredo evolved into one of Miami Beach’s most recognizable gathering places and one of the city’s first true Italian-style bars. Originally conceived as a café concession adjacent to the historic Colony Theatre, the venue introduced a distinctly European style of gathering to Lincoln Road — creating a place where guests could move seamlessly from morning espresso and afternoon meetings to aperitivos, dinner and late-night cocktails in an energetic yet approachable atmosphere.

“Some of the best memories of Miami Beach happened at those tables on Lincoln Road,” said Mark Soyka, co-owner of Segafredo. “So many friendships, conversations, celebrations and late nights started at Segafredo, and I think that’s why the place connected with people for so long.”

At a time when South Beach nightlife revolved around velvet ropes and exclusive clubs, Segafredo offered something different: an open-air gathering place rooted in conversation, music and community. Music remained central to the Segafredo experience from the very beginning, with daily DJs helping cultivate the venue’s lively and eclectic atmosphere and establishing the restaurant as a longtime gathering place for Miami’s DJ and creative communities.

“Music was always part of the soul of Segafredo,” said Luca Voltarel, co-owner of Segafredo. “Over the years, it became a home for Miami’s DJ community and a place where artists, locals and visitors could come together every single day. Seeing so many familiar faces return for one final celebration will be incredibly meaningful for all of us.”

Segafredo’s farewell celebration will take place Sunday, June 21 from 2-10 p.m. at 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information,follow @SegafredoMiami on Instagram.
