  • Bottega La Dolce Vita

    This Italian market is manned by a solicitous Venezuelan, who also makes the rich sauces and lasagne for sale. His lasagna, made with wine-simmered mushrooms, tastes like comfort on a plate. Try the elegant vodka sauce or arrabiata sauce, studded with olives and anchovies, with locally-made ravioli for sale; sausage-and-broccoli-raab ravioli were excellent. There is a small, but carefully selected, collection of Italian wines for sale.

  • The Setai

    Try the rich, tawny-skinned Peking duck, served with delicately steamed pancakes, and a sweet hoisin sauce. Feast on aromatic murgha tikka: delicate chicken chunks served in a curried yogurt sauce. Gingery steamed siew mai or pork-and-shrimp dumplings are delicious as well. Cocktails are terrific and sommelier Daniel Toral has great pairing suggestions for Asian food, by the glass or by the bottle. Read our previous coverage.
