"In Little Havana I came across Ciao Bella on Calle Ocho, an Italian restaurant with an open kitchen where the pizzaiolo tosses pies like the Principessa topped with shrimp and lemon zest and a mortadella pie with pistachio cream; the menu centers on staples such as tableside cacio e pepe prepared in a Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel, carbonara, and meat lasagna. A weekday lunch special offers pasta or pizza with espresso for $15, there is a daily happy hour from noon to 7 p.m., and the dining room—decorated with vintage photographs—stays open until midnight on weekends." - Olee Fowler
