An award-winning local fave serving fresh sushi and whopping steaks. The bar is great for Pan-Asian small plates and sneaking glances at the pretty Midtown patronage.
The quality of the pizza here is enough to drive ya pazzo. (That means “crazy” in Italian.) Speaking of Italy, chef/owner Riccardo Ullio’s Milan roots are evident in every aspect of this intimate neighborhood joint.

Co-chef couple Joe Truex and Mihoko Obunai blend East and West into real-life New American fusion. Crab cakes, octopus carpaccio, sweet potato turnip gratin, and more leave happy diners patting their bellies.
Grab a table at this woody urban bistro and prepare for a Caribbean-tinged plate of yum. Cuban gumbo, mango mimosas, and a new brunch menu (try the sofrito grits!) go great with impromptu live jam sessions.
Rustic Euro hits in a restored 1916 bungalow give any stomach the warm and fuzzies. Pop by the pantry concept store for gourmet staples like fresh chicken stock, vinaigrettes, and ready-to-eat fruit tarts.
Twinkling lights and an authentic Italian pasta menu have kept this place in business for years. Slightly cozier than sister pizza resto, Fritti, next door.

When you dine with local fave Kevin Rathbun, it’s hard to go wrong. New-school American and plenty of meat make this a crowd pleaser. The bar scene is super fun, too.
