Andiamo!

A jaunty little place that specializes in brick-oven pizza, choice panini, salads, and desserts. Homemade cannoli and other goodies for dessert.
Chef Allen’s

International fusion artistry at its finest. The Indian-influenced dishes include “cowboy” steak with tamarind and chili and lobster-crab cakes with fruit chutney. Hazelnut “Kit-Kat” bars make an unusual finish.
Hanna Gourmet Diner

Homemade soups; inventive salads, such as tomato with fennel and goat cheese; snapper française; steak au poivre; and an unforgettable fruit tart.
La Paloma

Old-World ornate, borderline kitsch décor. A superb house salad comes with every entrée. Try oysters Rockefeller, trout amandine, or veal Milanese.
La Valentina

Take a break from shopping in the Mall to enjoy some goodvalue, good-tasting Mexican food.
P. F. Chang’s China Bistro

This is a bright and modern restaurant with an open kitchen, aimed at family-style Chinese food. Try the wok-seared lamb or the prawns with green pearls.
Paquito’s Mexican Restaurant

Expect sumptuously fresh tortilla soup, steak Paquitos sautéed in a creamy jalapeño and onion sauce, and a yummy mole verde .
Picanha’s Grille

Always packed with Brazilians and others. Dishes include meaty linguincinha sausages and rich sautéed prawns. Food here is by buffet only.
Soyka

Run by the same fellow as the News Café, this is a huge, bistro-like setting with an adventurous Italianesque fusion menu. The sesame-seared salmon with spinach, shiitakes, and sweet soy sauce is not only alliterative but also simply sensationally scrumptious.
Wolfie Cohen’s Rascal House

There is always a line at this noreservations restaurant, but for good reason. The menu features favorites such as cabbage rolls and pot roast. Open from 6:30am daily until late.
