Gables Honors Caffe Abbracci’s Pernetti
Nino Pernetti Way is the new name for the 300 block of Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables, so designated for late restaurateur who opened Caffe Abbracci in 1989. Pernetti, who died in May 2022 after a long battle with covid, was honored by city officials for his long culinary career that included publication of Caffe Abbracci Cookbook: His Life Story and Travels Around the World in 2008. His family continues to operate the popular Italian restaurant.
