Shhh …. it’s a local secret. The Seafood Lasagna at Bistro 90 will send you to heights of gastronomical ecstasy. Chef Bradley Boandl lovingly creates “simple, clean, crisp flavors,” and this dish is no exception with its creamy, rich blend of alfredo sauce, noodles, lumps of crabmeat, shrimp, scallops, cheese and seasonings layered on lasagna noodles to a baked perfection. Piping hot, homemade Italian bread as a start is the perfect compliment to scoop up every bite.

Other specialties range from Chilean Sea Bass to brick-oven pizza to homemade dressings and Rigatoni Sorrentino, all in an atmosphere poised to indulge. Long-time restaurateur Roland Sciotto is making a mark with this intimate, off the beaten track, Italian bistro and it’s worth a visit. 7209 S.C. 90, Longs, (843) 390-5151, www.bistro90.com —KK
