FOR ALL MY FOODIES
Zuma brought excitement and sophistication in equal measure. I loved the robata grill dishes, which were smoky and flavorful, and the miso black cod was everything I hoped for—silky, rich, and perfectly balanced. The sushi menu was also strong, showcasing quality and consistency. One of the standouts is definitely the Truffle Mushroom HotPot Rice, with the amazing, rich umami flavors, …
La Pecora Bianca was such a refreshing summer stop. The interiors are bright and airy, creating a stylish but relaxed vibe. The gramigna with sausage was a highlight—comforting yet still light enough for a warm evening. I also loved that the menu has plenty of variety, making it a great pick for any mood. What I appreciate most is how …
Carbone was pure energy and indulgence from the moment I walked in. The spicy rigatoni vodka absolutely lived up to its cult status—it was creamy, fiery, and instantly crave-worthy. Every dish felt like it came with personality, bold in both flavor and presentation. The restaurant itself had that buzzing, cinematic quality that makes you feel like you’ve stepped onto a …

The curries carried layers of spice that felt comforting but still refined. I also loved how the cocktails mirrored that same sense of playfulness. The highlight …
I started the year at Momoya SoHo, and it was such a great way to ease into 2024. The sushi was fresh, clean, and beautifully plated—each bite felt simple but elevated.
