Restaurant review: Olive: Taste from Gaza
We started with the Gaza appetizers — a set of dips and sauces accompanied by a Musakhan roll, a wrap with chicken and caramelized onions inside. We also tried the Maqluba — a rice dish with eggplants, tomatoes and chicken — and ended with a Kunafa as dessert, a crispy Arab cake made with phyllo…

Restaurant Review: Acqua Café
There’s no denying that pasta (in all its forms) delights my soul, so when a friend raved about Acqua Café and its Italian cuisine, I knew I would happily make the trek to Palm Beach. Tucked inside an unassuming office building steps away from the ocean and just over the Lake Avenue/Lake Worth bridge, this…
