La Moderna Italian Restaurant

We’ve passed by La Moderna Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Sunset Harbour numerous times. There’s always a good sized crowd, especially at the bar, so we decided to see what the appeal was and booked dinner. It’s a neighborhood favorite- -- plus it gets its share of Italians, always a good sign.

One Door East

Yesterday you read about Valentina Cucina Italiana . Here's the twin sister I mentioned, One Door East, featuring Asian fusion cuisine. Both are my new "go to" spots in Fort Lauderdale. The chef of One Door East is Oliver Lustaro, formerly of Zuma in London, Istanbul and New York.

Two Fave FTL Restaurants

With friends and readers in Fort Lauderdale, and the fact that I often go to the NSU Museum (the Frank Stella show is well worth a visit) and sometimes to the Broward Performing Arts Center, I’m always on the lookout for really good restaurants. When told about two restaurants in one, my interest was piqued, especially since one is Italian and the other Asian fusion. Walk in the front door to the hostess stand and to the right, find Valentino, and to the left, One Door East. These are places I'll return many times. Since you have to see the dishes in their glory, I've made this into a two part series. Day one is Valentino.

OMG Baked Goods

Give me just out of the fryer churros, a Viennese sacher torte mit schlag (whipped cream), pistachio gelato, and lemon tarte tatin anytime. But it’s American desserts I crave the most. We’re talking donuts, cupcakes, traditional layer cakes, ice cream sundaes and more which you’ve read about here. So was I ever happy to learn about two artisanal Miami bakers who specialize in delectable, decadent, devastating (because you want more than one) all American baked goods.

Skorpios

The newest entry into the scene of Greek restaurants Miami, and a welcome one at that, is Skorpios, named after the private island owned by the late Greek shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis. Skorpios is like a Greek taverna – casual, friendly, made for socializing and sharing dishes. The floors and walls are decorated with terracotta and mosaic tiles, and the tables are rough hewn wood. Centerpiece of the décor is a dramatic 13 foot Hammerhead shark mounted on the wall. There’s outdoor seating as well.

Call Me Gaby, a New Fave

Surprisingly, Miami doesn’t have many restaurants that are casual and chic with a European sensibility--- and with outdoor dining. Think the French or Italian Riviera. And, even better, one where the noise level is moderate, so one can carry on a real conversation. To the rescue, stylish French couple Anthony and Kathy who opened their trophy restaurant, Call Me Gaby at 22 Washington Avenue (opposite Joe’s Stone Crab)T.305-531-4800.
