From the outside, Wood Fire Italian Grill looks like just another pizza joint, especially in a county loaded with them. But walk inside and the smell emanating from the pizza oven will quickly make you realize that isn’t the case. “The real people who invented pizza did it with wood fire,” Serradella said. “They didn’t do it with gas.” Wood Fire It...

This popular pasta shape typical of Salento and usually served with turnip greens or rabbit ragout sauce may have originated in France where, during the Middle Ages, wheat cultivation was common. The flattened shape given to this type of pasta allowed it to dry fast and to be stored for times of famine. It was the Anjou, rulers of the area between...

Vito's Ristorante is not Rico's Ristorante. The Utica greens pizza ($14.95) was our first proof. The pan pizza, sliced in strips, was browned nicely to support the heft of the escarole, cherry pepper and breadcrumb mixture. The greens were distributed evenly over the dough, preventing any collapsing or cold spots. A scant amount of mozzarella chees...

Her restaurant Amore Trattoria Italiana has been a West Michigan favorite for nearly nine years (and was recently named one of Grand Rapids Magazine’s top 10 restaurants in Grand Rapids in 2017). The only thing she’s known for more than her bright pink hair and electric personality is her f...

I may have mentioned at some point in our relationship that I’m from The Bronx. Which, if you’re unaware, is one of the outer boroughs of New York City, famed for Yankee Stadium, open spaces (we’ve got parks, yo), the birthplace of hip-hop and the famed Ogden Nash couplet “The Bronx; No Thonx.” It’s one of the few places that begins with “The,” and...

Some like it hot. Like 800+ degrees kind of hot. That’s the temperature at which the wood-fired oven at Dough Pizzeria Napoletana fires up its pizzas in only 90 seconds. The Neapolitan style of pizza making is not new to the Dallas metro, but it’s pretty new to Plano, as Dough introduced authentic Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani (APN) certified...

There’s a restaurant on Staten Island with a team of cooks unlike any other. They aren’t trained chefs. Instead, they are grandmothers. A restaurant kitchen staffed by grandmas was the vision of Jody Scaravella, who opened Enoteca Maria in 2007. At first, he hired exclusively Italian nonnas, filling a personal void left by his own late grandmother....
