by Steve Cuozzo   Design is destiny. Santina is a glass-box folly so festive, it nudges timid diners outside their predictable-Italian comfort boxes. Chilies! Yogurt! Scorching red-pepper rings on top of lubriciously olive-oiled, black-and-white anchovies! Santina, from Major Food Group partners Mario Carbone (who's in charge of Santina's k...
