NIKITTA ORLANDO – Mexican
Nikkei cooking — Japanese technique, Peruvian soul — in a low-lit room off International Drive. Nikitta opens with fresh oysters under citrus ponzu and crisp bubu arare, then works through slow-cooked octopus anticuchero with crispy causa, pork-and-shrimp gyozas in creamy ají amarillo, crispy pork belly baos with rocoto mayo and criolla, and pan-seared scallops al ajillo dusted with togarashi. Spicy tuna on golden crispy rice is the plate that keeps reappearing. The pace is deliberately unhurried, the cocktail list is taken as seriously as the food, and there is a private room for the occasions that need one.
