Finding a supermarket where the aisles are clean, the produce is fresh, and the quality of selection is generous has been a problem for the past few months. Given this, I am on a search for a great market out of the city to ride to on the weekend. A few weeks ago we went […]
Italian near Lincoln Center
Yum. Il Violino, a few blocks north of lincoln center was the perfect spot to grab a great bite before the Opera. A small ceasar with capers(?) and not quite enough dressing was saved by a small plate of cheese and a plate of anchovies. The lamb was good but the Mashed Potatoes maybe a […]
Italian on 53rd
When looking for a place to eat I sometimes just have a direction.. Tonight I wanted to see what we could find on 53rd Street. I was here a few months ago and between 2nd and 3rd Avenue this street is packed with restaurants, and an Insomnia cookie. After reviewing a few menus we […]
Piola
Why I am not a regular here I don’t know. I have eaten here twice, its in the neighborhood, the price is right, the place is comfortable and the food really is very good. A step up Italian eatery with a varied menu…the chicken viola was unique, delicious and there was a big enough portion […]
Caffe Vialetto
Hands Down my favorite, even though they don’t have a dessert I love. For the first two years I came here I got the Papparadeli Short Ribs. I had tasted it and knew nothing could compare. Then one night I tried a piece of fish with risotto, then I tried the short rib, then another […]
Basilico in Doral
This place was on its way to being my new favorite when we went on a Wednesday night three years ago. But then i went back, and so not my favorite, just ordinary, not so great the second time
La Patagonia

Ocio
http://ocio.miami Behind the miami airport, in an industrial neighborhood sits this charming Italian restaurant. Decorated with care and a unique eye, even the menu looks original. And the food was fabulous. The service friendly and something about the place sets it apart.
Anthony’s
I have always gone at someone else suggestion and never been unhappy. Last time I was here I tried the ribs. I must say, they give the wings a run for their money. A neighborhood pizza place. I could take it or leave it.
DiNapoli
I have gone back and forth on DiNapoli for years. My first experience was bad, then years later I returned and it was fine. I have been twice in the past year and taken out twice, all good. So, for neighborhood Italian its a good choice. You have to choose it over Papa Piccolo ( http://papapiccolopizzeria.eat24hour.com […]
