During our trip to Portland Oregon in June, we definitely wanted to visit food cart pod spots like Tokyo Sando, but also, there were a few classic spots we wanted to visit. One of them was called Gilda’s Italian Restaurant, with a soft “g” which is a name of an Italian Grandmother. You can find […]

Da Andrea
We visited Da Andrea at their Chelsea location for an event a month ago, and we had a pleasant experience there. We got to try some samples of their small bites, and some cocktails, and we enjoyed everything we had. This time, we went back to try their regular dinner menu. The exterior has bright […]
Cipriani Dolci
When you have out-of-town visitors, there are a few places that might be interesting for them. It might be a bit tourist-y, which usually means pricey and not very tasty dishes. Well, I might’ve found a pretty good spot! It is Cipriani Dolci, inside the landmark, Grand Central Terminal. Cipriani has many, many locations all […]
Olio e Piú – 2023
Ever since we first visited Olio e Piú in 2017, we’ve become a massive fan of the restaurant. We returned again shortly after, and the experience was as great as the first time. When my family was visiting, I thought they would love this spot too. So on a rainy day, we headed over for […]
DaVinci’s Ristoranté
During our last visit to Marco Island, Florida in late November, we visited DaVinci’s Ristoranté for Happy Hour, which is from 4:30pm to 6pm. DaVinci’s Ristoranté is a sister restaurant to Marco Prime and Oyster Society. Just like the sister restaurants, they have a nice big outdoor seating. The mosaic at the entrance was quite […]

At Turnstyle Underground Market, there are nearly 40 eateries and shops, great for rainy or snowy day. Well, actually, great […]

We were looking for a pre-theater spot in Midtown, and found Paul’s on Times Square. I have been curious about this spot for a while, but never had the opportunity to visit until now. We were looking for the restaurant, but we couldn’t find it… We looked up the address, and found out that they […]
The Talk Restaurant
This is a new Italian Restaurant that opened just this summer. It seems like they are getting good reviews from the locals. So, we went to check it out. I heard that the owners have other eateries in the area, Talk of the Town and Betsy’s. They also have another location of The Talk Restaurant […]
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria
One of the most popular pizzeria in all of NYC is Grimaldi’s. You can see their long lines around the block on most days. I first visited Grimaldi’s nearly 10 years ago. And since then, I have gone back a handful of times. But, since they moved just a few steps up the road to […]
Convivium Osteria
I am always looking for a new restaurants who serves delicious food. In New York, there is a new restaurant popping up all the time, it is hard to catch them all. Recently, I was invited by this lovely “mom and pop” Italian restaurant to try some of their food in Brooklyn. I love Italian […]
