"This spin-off from downtown darling Esther’s Kitchen hit Summerlin with thick homemade pasta, truffle-seasoned wagyu carpaccio, and pizzas built on a fluffy and bubbly crust foundation. The restaurant is officially from chef James Trees — but it’s executive chef Adam Rios who helms the kitchen, glazing chicken in fragrant marsala sauce with mushrooms; combining just-boiled rigatoni with vodka sauce and bright and snappy fennel sausage; and pulling focaccia from the oven, still warm when it reaches diners to be dipped in oil. Dinner here is upscale but relaxed, the dining room tucked away from the bustling Tivoli Village outdoor mall beyond, alongside with its robust wine collection. Save room for a dreamily flaky warm apple crostata — best ordered with a scoop of vanilla gelato. Must-try dish: Pappardelle noodles are extra wide, just right for collecting spoonfuls of immensely savory and tangy beef and pork Bolognese." - Janna Karel

"Pizzaiolo Juan G. Perez — better known by his popular Instagram handle, @juangpizza — has been honing in on his craft since he started out in the business in 2009. As the executive chef of Neopolitan-style pizzeria Posto in Davis Square, Perez oversees an acclaimed menu that balances traditional Neopolitan pizza-making with innovative twists, like the “Almondine,” topped with toasted almonds, ricotta, mozzarella, fontina, and chili-infused honey. The approach has plenty of fans: Posto and Perez were recently recognized by one of the world’s most prestigious pizza reviews, the Italian-run 50TopPizza, which praised the restaurant as “the right place to eat a classic Neapolitan pizza.”" - Nathan Tavares, Tommy Ranucci, Eater Staff
"A touch sweet and just spicy enough to be interesting, the beef and pork bolognese at James Trees’s Al Solito Posto stands up to thick, chewy strands of pappardelle pasta and bites of flavorful ground meat. Short grooved cascarecce noodles make just the right foundation for roasted eggplant and burrata." - Janna Karel
