The Scene
Well-known as a star-spotting scene, this place actually delivers, even if some of the beautiful crowd may only be soap stars. Intimate (read: shoehorned) seating also provides for a genial relationship with your dining neighbors.

The Food
Solid northern Italian cuisine comes in generous portions without too much fanfare from the lively, open kitchen. The star of the starters is the fresh burrata cheese with grilled radicchio, seconded by achingly tender calamari. Move on to the giant garlicky roasted prawns or rack of lamb, delicately aromatic with tarragon. Lobster ravioli's sweet, meaty filling juxtaposes with a deep and sultry saffron-cream sauce, imbued with the unique golden bitterness of this spice.
