Don't Worry Bar at Le Sirenuse Is What Summer Dreams Are Made Of—See Inside
Both father and son are obsessed with executing the finest details, and none were spared here. They each found inspiration in their personal travels over the past few years. While Antonio tapped Bachmann for the 12th installment of his Artists at Le Sirenuse Program, Aldo worked with Stefano Menicagli, the famed audio consultant, to recreate an authentic Japanese listening bar experience. Antonio initially discovered Bachmann's work at a Zurich exhibition in 2023, and Aldo was by the listening bars he stumbled upon while on vacation in Tokyo.
Upon entering the space, you are enveloped in the lush sounds of music on vinyl, thanks to a highly curated soundtrack across the decades, from the '60s to the '80s as well as some of the best Italian pop classics mixed in courtesy of iconic Italian DJ Paolo Sciabu. Complementing the experience is a menu filled with a variety of specialty cocktails, handcrafted by in-house Director of Mixology, Alessio Lupo.
Bachmann's series of paintings, titled Le Sirenuse I–XX, 2025, was created specifically for the room and beautifully encompass the space. They chart twenty moments in the course of one day and night and 'are to be read in a direction of an infinitely rotating clock,' according to the artist. These seascape paintings are based on an imaginary 24-hour view of the Li Galli Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, which you can spot from the gorgeous terrace of the hotel.
Fret not—if you don't have the opportunity to visit Le Sirenuse this summer, you can always shop directly on the site for a curated selection of ready-to-wear and home goods.

Here's What to Order at San Jose's Late-Night New Indian Pizza Player
is a writer and recipe developer living in San Jose, California. His work has appeared in KQED, Serious Eats, Food & Wine, Metro Silicon Valley, The Kitchn and more. A pickup window in Downtown San Jose is slinging Indian-inspired pizzas topped with samosas, vegetable manchurian, and palak paneer. There's also saucy tikka masala wings and masala fries loaded with cheese and green peppers. The window sits directly on the sidewalk and catches the eye with a large menu and striped awning. Downtown San Jose isn't known for its late-night dining scene. Most open signs flicker off by 10 p.m. But Mazala Pizza, which opened in late 2024, is open until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays making it an ideal spot for an early breakfast after a night out. In May 2019, Jay Patel opened a modern Indian restaurant in Chicago called Moti Cafe. A year later, the pandemic hit — he transitioned to a takeout-centered concept named Mazala Pizza to stay afloat. The name blends the Hindi words maza (fun) and masala (spices). The menu was built around Indian flavors combined with dishes that lend themselves well to pick up or delivery like pizzas, tacos, and burritos. The venture was a success and Mazala Pizza has since expanded to several locations in Illinois and one in New Jersey. Octavio Peña The San Jose pickup window opened in November 2024. This marks the young company's first location on the West Coast, bearing a slightly different menu from their previous location Their California location removes tacos and burritos in favor of sandwiches and wings. It's connected to San Jose's downtown food hall which is a hybrid between a ghost kitchen and an actual mall food court. There isn't much of an ambience, but there are tables for enjoying your meal. Thankfully, you're a short stroll away from San Jose State University where you can plop down for a picnic on the lawn in front of Tower Hall. Keep in mind that the dining room closes at 9 p.m., so if you're stopping by for a late night slice you will need to find somewhere else to take your feast. Here's what to order. Indian-inspired pizzas Mazala Pizza isn't the first to make pizzas infused with Indian flavors, but they bring a distinctive approach that draws inspiration from multiple facets of Indian cuisine. Many of the flavor combinations are inspired by chaat, Indian street food. Others are creative riffs that play with elements of fusion in a smart, flavorful way. The palak paneer pizza, for example, is made with a spinach-based sauce that has that same leafy green flavor you would get in a pesto pizza. A highlight is the samosa smash pizza stacked with crushed samosas and sev (crunchy noodles) on a bed of cheese and tikka masala. It's drizzled with mint and tamarind chutneys which add contrast in the form of freshness and tanginess. Another notable option is the masala elote pizza speckled with charred corn kernels heavily seasoned with masala. The pizzas are served in personal naan size or as a 12-inch thin crust or pan crust. At $22, a 12-inch samosa smash pizza is the smartest order. Sandwiches and wings The Tikka masala chicken at Mazala Pizza. Octavio Peña Keeping up with pizza shop tradition, Mazala Pizza offers a selection of wings to gnaw on between slices. The sauces the wings are tossed in are the same used in the pizza — that includes a spicy firecracker sauce and tikka masala sauce. If you prefer to keep your fingers sauceless, you can get fried chicken in sandwich form. The vegetarian options aren't an afterthought here. There's a sandwich made with a slab of paneer coated in panko and deep-fried. Both variations feature pickled onions and a medley of chutneys. Momos Mazala Pizza also offers momos stuffed with vegetables, chicken, or paneer. They're available either fried or steamed. You can get them topped with any of Mazala Pizza's signature sauces plus a sprinkle of green pepper, onions, and sev. The fried version provides a better textural experience as the crisp exterior provides contrast to the sauce. A solid option are the moti momos coated in a zesty mayo-based sauce. Mazala Pizza (82 East Santa Clara Street, San Jose) is open from 11 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m., Friday and Saturday.

Watch: Lisa says goodbye to Kentaro Sakaguchi in 'Dream' short film
Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Lalisa Manobal, better known as K-pop superstar Lisa, is back with a new music video. The Thai singer and actress, 28, released the official short film for "Dream" featuring Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi on Thursday. Lisa portrays a grieving widow in the music video, which opens with a funeral service for her fictional husband (Sakaguchi). She reflects on moments they shared together as she sings "I know a place where we can be us. I know it ain't real, but it's real enough. From sun going down to sun coming up, it's like you're here with me, whenever I close my eyes." She remembers a moment in particular when she asked him what he wanted to be in his next life. After she said she wanted to be a tree, he said, "Then I want to become a lake in front of that tree. There's something magical about the way trees reflect on the lake. So I want to be the lake." The film ends as Lisa spreads his ashes in a lake. Lisa described the song as "an emotional, beautiful story," in a previous post promoting the music video. The song is featured on her album Alter Ego, which dropped in February. Lisa is also a member of Blackpink, alongside Jisoo, Jennie and Rose. The South Korean girl group is on tour through January. They released "Jump," their first single of the year, in July. Solve the daily Crossword
