TiramesU closed in 2017 after nearly 30 years, while Segafredo seemingly outlasted them all on Lincoln Road.<\/p>\n<p>The setup is with an open-air DJ booth in the middle of one of Miami Beach\u2019s most-trafficked people-watching stretches. The outdoor red tables at the western end of the pedestrian mall became a scene. Segafredo played house music from a DJ booth year-round, served Italian paninis and spritz cocktails, and built a following across decades of WMC seasons, Halloween crowds, and just the typical day-to-day. DJ Aladdin had a nine-year residency there, bringing DJs from around the world for Winter Music Conference shows.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"701\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screen-Shot-2026-05-20-at-3.38.53-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40550321\"  \/>Graspa Group has not announced a reason for the closure.<\/p>\n<p>Segafredo L\u2019Originale photo<\/p>\n<p>Miamians Mourn an Era of Lincoln Road <\/p>\n<p>Comments flooded the Instagram announcement. \u201cI was there when it was the opening day, will be there on the last day!\u201d wrote one commenter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere cigarettes and strollers meet!\u201d wrote another. @daisy.cabrera tagged @dj_aladdin_miami directly: \u201cThose WMC mixed CDs of yours are collectibles.\u201d @tiempolibremiami recalled being a longtime regular at Tiramesu (back in the day) and Spris!
