We were sad to see Martinique Bistro close its doors on Magazine, but happy that Nick Lama, a NOLA native and fourth-generation Sicilian, decided to open a gorgeous new Italian spot in its place. The initial menu isn’t huge, but it doesn’t have to be. We trust Lama with everything from his grilled artichokes to (oddly enough) chicken wings with radishes, watermelon, and pepper jelly, four simple pastas, and mains like pork Milanese with red wine-braised turnips, Swiss chard, and salsa verde.
