Tropical Chinese Restaurant

Nearly four decades into its existence, Tropical Chinese is still going strong. The dinner menu is chock full of offerings, from the traditional to the exotic. Appetizers include wok-fried, salt-and-pepper-style calamari, and the Peking duck is prepared daily. What’s more, this unassuming spot in a West Miami-Dade strip mall remains a go-to for the best […]

Tutto Pasta

Even with competition high, Tutto is one of the town’s top pie maestros. The crust is made in a brick oven, as all proper pizzas in Italy are made, and tastes like it: thin, crisp but still foldable, and as chewy and delectably flavorful as honest homemade bread; you’ll want to eat even the bare […]
