Piola will unveil a locally inspired Earth Day menu at its restaurants in Brickell, Miami Beach and Hallandale Beach April 19 – 23 to showcase the produce from the Roots In The City Overtown community garden.

Ten percent of Piola’s Earth Day proceeds will benefit Roots In the City, which provides affordable fresh produce to low-income families, public school students, community agencies and homeless shelters in Miami-Dade County.
Apart from the Earth Day menu, Piola’s five-day celebration will include the following at all three Pioloa South Florida locations:
• Roots In The City farmer’s market
• Roots In The City vegetable exhibit
• All Piola customers will receive a bag of seeds (including planting instructions) from the Roots In the City garden at the corner of Northwest Third Avenue and Northwest 10th Street.
