"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$ Uruguayan chef Juan Lema, who named Trattoria Mirta after his mother, puts his own spin on traditional northern Italian dishes. In winter, try the squash in saor, enriched with raisins and pine nuts. Better yet, stop by in warmer months for the cotolette in carpione, a vinegar-marinated variation on the cult classic Milanese. Best for: Sitting at a sidewalk table if the weather is nice." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones
