Italy’s most enjoyable food comes not from fancy starred restaurants but from home, and from little family-owned trattorias that duplicate homestyle warmth — like this festive, wine bottle-festooned place, run by a Roman family since 1999. Pastas and seafood dishes can be overcooked on occasion, but zucchini-stuffed ravioli (in either red or white sauce; go […]

Sawaddee is inauspiciously tucked off Normandy Circle. In the five years since Montri and Riam Putlek opened this petite room, locals have learned the location quite well; the 16 seats are consistently filled, as are numerous take-out orders. Another eight stools run in an L shape against a sushi bar that fairly dominates the space. […]
Scarpetta docked at the Fontainebleau fresh from the flagship’s successful launch in New York. Chef Scott Conant’s “Italian soul food” is basic and the technique classical. Most ingredients are traditional, and the resultant flavors meld rustic and earthy with streamlined and refined. The simplest of the succinct menu’s offerings is the yellowtail crudo with olio […]

If you’re skeptical of this place because of its name, don’t be. The food is so tastefully composed it won’t matter if you’re vegan, meat-eater, or pescatarian. It’s all thanks to chef-owner Guy Braverman, just your average Joe who began living a 100 percent plant-based lifestyle three years ago to boost his health. After plenty […]
Sea Siam’s fare is ocean-tastic. Take the pla lad prig: a fresh, whole fried snapper with delicate, crisp skin and moist white meat drenched in a spectacularly tangy, sweet, and spicy chili sauce.
