For over three decades, Andrea Mucciga has been a culinary force gracing Southwest Florida with a taste of the Mediterranean. From the idyllic shores of Sanibel and Captiva Island, his restaurants over the years – Bellini’s on Captiva Island, Riviera, Dolce Vita, and Traditions on the Beach at Island Inn – became synonymous with warm hospitality and exquisite flavors – a taste of la dolce vita soaking in the Gulf Coast sunshine.
