HIGHLAND PARK— Jonathan Gold files an early word today on HP newcomer Maximiliano, opened by chef Andre Guerrero (BoHo, Marche): "Guerrero's conception of Italian-American cuisine is probably different from yours and definitely not what your Uncle Sal has in mind, but basically succeeds on its own terms: a distinct hit of sweetness in the spaghetti and meatballs; thin-crusted pizzas that are closer to '80s-style California pizza than they are to any of the new-wave Neapolitan pies...Guerrero's restaurants have always started slow but greatly improved -- Maximiliano's is probably going to be swell in a few months."
