Fi’lia Brickell + SAAM Lounge Reopen With New Community Initiatives to Give Back and Miami Spice Menu

Community Initiatives:

Pizza Sospeso – Beginning June 8th, those who dine in or order take out from Fi’lia will have the option of adding a pizza to their order for $10. The orders will then be fulfilled on Fridays from 5-8 p.m. when first responders, essential workers, and those who are furloughed/laid off can redeem a free pizza through the giveaway. The program will continue for six weeks and 50 pizzas will be given away every Friday.

Ask SAAM – Leading up to its opening on June 12th, SAAM Lounge has debuted “Ask SAAM.” Followers can send SAAM a list of ingredients around their house, and one of the team’s expert mixologists will send back a cocktail recipe. If the guest posts a photo of their cocktail on social media and tags SAAM Lounge and SLS Brickell, the guest can redeem a complimentary cocktail upon their next visit.
