"Acqua Bistecca celebrates its first Thanksgiving with a filling, four-course Italian-inspired feast ($95 per person) blending American tradition and refined technique. Guests can choose from dishes like chestnut soup with foie gras, roast heritage turkey with sage gravy, or braised short rib, with all sides served family-style. Optional add-ons include a pasta course or filet upgrade, plus decadent desserts like pumpkin pie with pizzelle or olive oil cake with mascarpone. Reservations are open for dining between 1 p.m. until 8 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"A coastal Italian stunner from Michael Mina lights up City Ridge with house-made pastas, vibrant crudos, grilled seafood (striped bass, black bass, Maine lobster), and char-grilled steaks brushed with lambrusco butter. A striking mirrored bar anchors spritzes and seaside-leaning cocktails like the Capri (clarified milk punch with bourbon, tomato water, and basil), and Mina envisions the experience as a “dinner party,” with coursed spreads available for groups of six or more." - Tierney Plumb
