Chef Vincenzo Betulia adds Old World charm—and a touch of magic—to his version of America’s favorite style of international cuisine at Osteria Tulia (239-213-2073). Sample homemade fennel sausage, wood-charred octopus, watermelon and raspberry salad with French feta, roasted Alaskan halibut, and roasted beef short rib tortelloni with foie gras emulsion and Marsala. At lunch, paninis range from prosciutto cotto egg focaccia to wood-grilled Kobe burger.
