It's Super Bowl Sunday in Miami. If you're in town, and wondering where to grab a decent meal before or after the big game, here are a few Miami favorites of various electronic DJs and celebrities:

Helio Castroneves recommends Casa Tua and says,"It is a nice lounge and restaurant, and it's right on the beach, so it's a great place to hang out."

Tony Kanaan recommends Tutto Pasta and says, "The food is awesome. They make their own pasta. If I want to change anything, they do it for me."

Anthony Bourdain says he's a big fan of Chef Michelle Bernstein and would probably be seen at Michy's. He once said, "I'm a big fan of Michelle Bernstein and always interested in seeing what she's doing and where she's doing it."

Mario Batali recommends Las Vacas Gordas in Miami Beach, an Argentinian restaurant, which translates to "The Fat Cows", and Michy's, headed by Chef Michelle Bernstein.

Paul van Dyk recommends La Loggia and once said, "My favorite Italian restaurant in the world. Try the 'Pasta à la Loggia'."

Dubfire says his favorite restaurant in Miami is Ceviche 105 and stated, "Probably the most authentic Peruvian ceviche restaurant outside of Lima - besides La Mar in San Francisco." Yelp users apparently agree with him, giving the restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars based on 58 reviews (as of 02.07.2010).

Papa John's, Various Locations
Website: www.papajohns.com
As a proud sponsor of Super Bowl XLIV, Papa John’s will offer special deals meant for football watching parties, from now until the Super Bowl, including the Super XLIV pizza, an extra-large pizza with up to four toppings for only $11.99. This super-sized pizza is 10 large slices and 30% larger than a large pizza.

Morton's The Steakhouse, Various Locations in South Florida
Website: www.mortons.com
Morton's will be featuring specialty team drinks and a $5 Bar Bite menu at all seven South Florida locations — from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale to Coral Gables. The game will be broadcast on LCD screens in each bar and nine-foot drop-down screens will be set up in the restaurants' private dining rooms.

Bokamper's Sports Bar & Grill, 1280 S. Pine Island Rd., Plantation, FL 33324
Website: www.bokampers.com
Along with the usual beer and food specials, there might be an appearance by the Miller Lite girls and maybe even a pig roast in back of the 500-seat restaurant. It'll be impossible to miss the action with more than 50 TVs and two giant screens about 10 by 12 feet.

Hot Shots Sports Bar, 3868 N. University Drive, Sunrise, FL
Website: www.hotshotsbar.com
This classic American bar has 17 pool tables and darts. It's also the South Florida home of Dallas Cowboys fans: the bar packs in 300 people for every game. While the Cowboys won't be playing, the Super Bowl is so popular that they're going to charge a $10 cover. There will be complimentary hamburgers and hot dogs and anyone who's dressed in the jersey of the two competing teams will get free shots when the team scores.
