  It was nice to see a good crowd on a Wednesday night at Firenze. And although almost all the tables were taken, it was still possible to converse, thanks to the new acoustical tiles they have installed.

This is a wonderful taste experience, but it does leave you pretty full. Determined to have...

The appetizer menu simply said “Thai Crab Cake,” leading us to expect a few bites. Instead we got two large delicious crab cakes drizzled with a chili crème sauce next to a substantial mesclun salad with papaya and daikon strips as garnish. This dish definitely made for a great lunch. Other appetizer favorites that can make a meal at Tengda: Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps (diced chicken in mild Thai bean paste sauce wrapped in leaves of...
