Description
This successor to the opulent San Domenico is an enormous, modern and frenetic restaurant. The sleek interior is divided into distinct spaces: a self-service wine bar (with an Enomatic dispenser), a vast lounge and a dining room with an open kitchen and salumi station. Chef Odette Fada has abandoned the classic strictures of an Italian meal in favor of small and large plates, like butter-drenched ravioli oozing yolk (a San Domenico signature) and a delicious vongole broth served under olive-oil-poached halibut. Though the dessert menu is small and not terribly scintillating, the cheese counter is crammed with plenty of reasons to finish the meal on a savory note.
