How Set Designer Noemi Bonazzi Cultivates Effortless Italian Style
One day last year, Noemi Bonazzi spotted a photo of Pamela Hanson’s on a wall at The Wing in Dumbo: some red cherries glistening in a bowl over ice. Bonazzi and Hanson shared a tour of the space by their art curator, Lolita Cros. “Is this in Vietre?” Noemi asked, and it was. Bonazzi recognized the cherries: the way they’d been displayed, the sun, a...
Restaurant review: Giorgio’s an upscale delight in Lake Wales
Giorgio’s is the sort of restaurant that has been missing from the Lake Wales dining scene for far too many years. Restaurants of this caliber have had their day, some with more sticking power than others. Vinton’s, with its New Orleans vibe, comes to mind as one of the best. It had a good run, but it too is long gone. Chalet Suzanne was in a class...

All in the Family: Pazzo offers a homey spot for Italian-American comfort food
Some would argue meatballs only belong on a swirl of steaming pasta or wedged inside twelve inches of a hoagie roll, while others with a more laissez-faire approach to life would argue that when food rules are broken, magical accidents can happen. But neither party in this hypothetical argument would refuse a second serving of Pazzo Southside’s me...

Why we've fallen for the marvelous Martina, the Twin Cities' Best New Restaurant
There was a time when you could dump some garden-variety ice in a glass, swirl it around with the right ingredients, and I’d knock it back with grateful satisfaction. That was before Martina, where each drink is made with its own particular type of ice: crushed, cubed, stamped, and slivered. No number of slapdash drinks can unring that bell. But wh...
