It's officially "Best Of" season, when everyone rounds up their favorite places, things and events from the year.
- First up: The Infatuation's "Best New Restaurants of 2025."
Why it matters: 2025 has been marked by restaurant closures across the county, so it's more important than ever to highlight the newcomers.
State of plate: Three of the 10 restaurants included were pizzerias (can confirm pizza dominated my dining-out experiences this year).
- My favorite was Marc's Artisanal Pizzeria, which I finally tried after the initial (well-warranted) hoopla subsided.
- Bar Bucce (vibes surpass the 'za in my opinion) and Fratesi's Pizza (excellent 'za, but don't skip the tahini Caesar salad) also made the list.
Between the lines: I've only dined at half of the ranked restaurants.
Zoom in: Kudos to the Infatuation folks! They visit a handful of times before reviewing restos and getting a table at Tina in the Gables is mission impossible.
- My friends and I finally managed to get in one morning by arriving before 9am. It was worth the early morning wake-up call.
- The "3 in 1" juice cured me, my eggs were heavily coated in Parm, and the PB&J sliders were the perfect sweet treat. (No, I didn't try the famous French toast.)
Zoom out: I was stoked to see Double Luck on the list, as I've been a few times since my first visit.
- Everyone raves about the orange chicken (fair), but the spicy Sichuan noodles remain undefeated in my book!
What's next: It might be No. 10, but Sticky Rice Lao, Thai & Sushi is at the top of my must-try list.
The bottom line: Marc's deserved a higher position in the Top 10! But if the five remaining spots on the list are anything like the others, I know I'm in for a tasty meal.
