If you didn’t get enough Nutella at In A Pickle, order the Nutella Pizza at Charcoal Guido’s for dessert and – because we’re supposed to be adults – precede it with baby lamb chops or one of this Italian eatery’s many pasta dishes! At lunch, handmade pizza from the restaurant’s wood-fired oven is imbued with a crunchy texture and smoky flavor that’s sure to please. Charcoal Guido’s is located at 482 Moody Street.
Take your taste buds to Japan and Korea at Ponzu, a restaurant known for its high-quality sushi and yummy bibimbap. Ponzu is located at 286 Moody Street.
When it comes to Mexican restaurants, it’s often the places that look the most mundane on the outside that offer the most authentic fare within. Amuleto is where you go when you’re craving a slick, urban atmosphere paired with the flavors of Mexico and a wide booze selection - especially margaritas. The guac is made-to-order, the mole sauce is scrumptious, and the chile relleno is always a hit. Amuleto is located at 484 Moody Street.
