We may have had a mild fall, but there’s no denying the nip is in the air now, so local restaurants are bringing their best soul-warming seasonal dishes and drinks to the market. Here are a few:
Cavatelli

These little oblong mussels – “little hollows”, translated from Italian – have a hearty feel that is just right for autumn, and this is how they are served at Locale Italian Kitchen + Craft Cocktails, 7995 Blue Diamond Road: with butternut squash, brown sage butter sauce, coffee-roasted pepita seeds, and whipped ricotta, $ 15.
Pot cake with mushrooms and biscuits

Mushrooms, pearl onions, peas, carrots, and a homemade cheddar biscuit make up the mushroom biscuit pot pie at Boom Bang Fine Foods & Cocktails, 75 S. Valle Verde Drive in Henderson, $ 19. Add a Cornish hen for another $ 7.
Pumpkin and lobster ravioli
