I had the good fortune to recently discover Il Paesano in Fort Lauderdale. It’s been there for years, but hidden on the north side of Oakland Park Boulevard and a tad difficult to find. It’s worth finding. This is an Italian café, deli and wine market. It’s not a huge dining area, but don’t miss reserving the wonderful wine room with a table seating four or six lucky people. Not only are you surrounded by bottles for sale (the Tenute Marta Rosa Hibisco was a yummy, fruity Montepulciano d’Abruzzo), but the beautifully prepared food is the reason to go there multiple times. 2645 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954/396-1700
