Heidi’s Picks
Heidi’s Picks is a weekly selection of restaurant suggestions from Review-Journal critic Heidi Knapp Rinella.
MARCHE BACCHUS
2620 Regatta Drive; 804-8008
We loved the lakeside outdoor terrace and the extensive selection in the retail wine shop — and $10 corkage in the restaurant — but no less than the artisan cheese platter, beef tartare, rack of lamb, pork chop and flourless chocolate cake. (4/17/09)
Overall: A-$$$
NOVE ITALIANO
The Palms, 4321 W. Flamingo Road; 942-6800
The Palms is a hipster kind of place, and Nove Italiano definitely fits right in. We were surprised, then, to encounter such a soulful old-school Sunday Gravy with multiple layers of flavor, which tasted as though it had been made by Chef Geno Bernardo’s gray-haired grandmother. Also worthy of note: a much lighter Veal Nove. (8/6/10)
Overall: A $$$$
