Italy and Peru might seem worlds apart, but at Union Kitchen & Bar, the spirit of each is equally accessible. At their restaurant tucked away in Wilton Manors, husband-and-wife team Christie Tenaud and Roberto Colombi aim to unite the best of both cuisines with a menu that marries Colombi's Northern Italian heritage with Tenaud's South American sass. Inspired by their love of savoring a meal — especially that special union that takes place with loved ones sharing good food and wine — the couple has created an ambiance inspired by love. As executive chef, Tenaud's seasonally inspired menu shines with selections that change with the best of what's available, complemented by Colombi's thoughtfully curated wine list. Highlights include a bounty of local produce that makes its way into garden-inspired salads, modern American takes on tacos and arepas, handmade pastas that spotlight seafood, meats, and vegetables; and decadent housemade desserts — like the drunken bourbon bread pudding with crème anglaise and bourbon-soaked golden raisins.
