If you need your Mexican food fix, this is the best spot in town. Owned by a guy who used to live in California. We won't hold that against him. :)

Best Italian joint we've found. Run by Sicilians, all the expat Italians seem to eat there as well. House made pastas daily, great pizzas, nice atmosphere. Wine is the weak link. Stick with beer.

Straight up best slice in the city. NYC style. No, it's not as good, but it's a decent substitute. High quality ingredients, thin crust, oregano and crushed red pepper on the table. Solid.

Over in Buda. A lot less expensive than Onyx, but still one of our favorite meals in the city. Father and son team in a little neighborhood setting. You pick the 4 or 8 course menu and that's it.
