Tucked in a strip mall off 52nd Street and NE 2nd Avenue is Boia De, a small retro yet modern hidden gem owned by chef couple Luci Giangrandi and Alex Meyer.This is the first restaurant for the duo, who before that operated a popular Mexican food cart in The Miami Design District.

They met several years ago when they worked together in the kitchen in New York.“We started out as friends. It was a slow burn,” said Meyer. “Kind of like ‘When Harry Met Sally,’” said CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo, laughing.
