The menu hardly breaks away from budget-Italian norms, but when it comes to providing fresh, tasty, uncomplicated fare at an appealingly affordable price, La Gastronomia is as good as it gets. Thin-crust pizzas and fresh pastas don’t disappoint, but two Mediterranean fish, the orata (sea bream) and spigola (sea bass), get flown in every Wednesday […]
No animal has suffered more abuse at the hands of corporate and incompetent amateur cooks than the chicken. La Granja, though, gives this wildly popular, often-abused bird the respect it’s due, carefully roasting it until the skin turns bronze and crispy and the meat tender and juicy. The Kendall outpost of this chain of Peruvian-style […]
Just off Miami Gardens Drive, inside a generic shopping center anchored by a Publix, you will find a golden opportunity to savor deliciously prepared Nicaraguan cuisine. A typical fritanga, La Hormiga de Oro offers cantina-style Nica dishes at moderate prices for dining in or taking out. Six dollars and 50 cents brings charbroiled steak and […]

It’s often the tiniest of places that go unnoticed for months. Then someone stumbles across them, loves them, and spreads the word so much that the little spaces become booming hot spots. That is exactly what happened to La Latina, a “new” areperia on NE Second Avenue, just east of midtown. Cheese and sweet plantain […]
Napoli-born and raised chef/owner Giovanni Gagliardi, dubbed La Leggenda (the Legend) by friends in Italy for his pizzaiolo skills, is making some of the best Neapolitan-style pies in South Florida. Gagliardi performs his magic in a small space tucked away near the eastern terminus of Española Way, where his domed, wood-fueled oven turns out from-scratch […]
The eight indoor and eight outdoor tables are nearly always taken, which has been true since this little Italian charmer opened in January 2003. And why not? La Locanda serves simple, homespun Italian fare at affordable rates. It’s an oasis in a sea of glitzy, overpriced SoBe touristaurants. Hits include eggy strands of homemade “guitar […]

From the get-go, La Moderna has offered a different kind of Italian — not pizza or pasta, but the florally, astringent cocktails becoming increasingly popular in Rome. Smartly mixed libations hide behind kitschy names like Thelma & Louise and Dr. Strangelove. The former blends hibiscus-infused Aperol with smoky Brugal rum, fresh strawberries, coconut soda water, […]
Honduran cuisine is far from sophisticated, but the homey renditions at this cafe/market are a strong reminder that sometimes the simplest eating is the most satisfying. Numerous generically Latin American items – like the ever-present churrasco – are available, but much of the menu is a Honduras Greatest Hits list for curious foodies. Must-haves include […]

This La Palma is a no-frills West Miami mainstay. Most Magic City natives know it is the place to get churros – basically Latin doughnuts – on a chilly night. And although the cafe con leche is sweet and typically close to perfection, it’s not for dunking. Churros here can be accompanied only by this […]
With an eerie ambiance of dark yellow lights and red carpet, La Paloma reminds me of that bar in The Shining, where the bartender is actually a ghost. Try the White Russian.
