Resident Foodies say: What a way to usher in the New Year! We had an Italian feast at Pazzo Italian Cafe in Naples, Florida, capped off with their mouth-watering tiramisu. The tiramisu is distinctively prepared in a large, glass serving bowl, with just the right amount of chocolate flakes on top. The taste is divine.

Resident Foodies say: We think we found the best seafood restaurant in Naples, Florida: USS Nemo. Named and decorated like a ship, the restaurant knows how to create innovative seafood dishes. To start out, USS Nemo serves free homemade bread with a plate of hummus, seaweed salad, and lettuce with ginger sauce. The concoction is different in a good way, and lets you know you are in no ordinary restaurant. Pictured above is the tempura calamari with 3 tasty sauces: red sauce, aioli, and yuzu. We liked the yuzu sauce the most.
Pictured below is the ginger steamed fish (halibut) with steamed bok choy, beans and shiitake, rice ginger soy-lime dressing.
We also tried Nemo’s signature dish: miso broiled sea bass with citrus-ginger butter sauce, steamed rice, asparagus, carrot tempura. Everything was incredibly tasty!
Resident Foodies say: We loved the texture and color of this almond muffin with a drop of caramel.
Resident Foodies say: Merry Christmas! We just had a feast at the Ritz-Carlton and hope to share several of the amazing creations cooked up by the chefs at the Ritz. Here’s a chocolate mousse with a wreath of raspberries that was to die for.
