Fodor's Expert Review Spiga

In a beautifully restored Creole house, exceptional cuisine fuses Italian and occasionally some Caribbean ingredients and cooking techniques. Follow one of the ample appetizers with an excellent pasta, fresh fish, or meat dish, such as the braised Angus beef short rib with porcini mushroom risotto. The pastas and fish are amazing, but other standouts include lobster ravioli appetizer and dessert panna cotta. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are noted on the menu. The porch can be affected by windy or wet weather. Dogs are restricted to the porch.
