We understand why you’d be wary of a place like Hosteria Romana. There’s probably a bachelorette party on the patio and a barker trying to lure in Española Way tourists. And yes, the overpriced Italian food is mostly mediocre (at least the portions are gigantic). But this restaurant does provide a wildly entertaining night full of napkin twirling,...

Marietta's downtown is experiencing an Italian Rennaisance. After years of having just one stalwart Italian restaurant, two newcomers have opened offering more choices for good Italian dishes. We've always enjoyed the European feel of dining at a window seat at Piastra. Then, when Bottega opened in 2024, it brought a homey, street-cafe feel that st...
Mario Enriquez grew up around food. As a young man, he opened two restaurants in New York, then another in California. Five months ago, he moved his family to Alabama deciding it was time to bring some NYC flavor to the MGM. His restaurant La Trattoria just opened. “I’m nervous and excited,” said Enriquez. He’s had restaurants on both coasts, but s...

I was surprised that a high-end Italian restaurant had quietly opened in Miami’s bohemian Wynwood, a signal that the area is evolving and might be redefining itself. A visit to Piegari brings instant gratification with a carpaccio di pesce, paper-thin salmon, frisée and fresh orange segments, and a burrata with prosciutto di Parma and arugula. We a...
