Let the Dominos fall as they will and allow your mouth to water at the prospect of this authentic Italian cuisine in a trendy, elegant style, located at the edge of the Village. Black shirt, bordeaux tie and white apron, the height of good taste. A modern chandelier is the sparkling centre point of the place. Gleaming teak floors, white brick walls. Long bar stocked with an extensive selection of liqueurs, lined with barstools upholstered in black and white. Soft classical music plays. Equally classical Italian dishes: grilled beets with bitter honey, deep-fried artichokes, linguine alle vongole. Airy mini-donuts with pine nuts are served as an extra appetiser, with homemade cranberry compote. And radishes with anchovy paste. The dessert menu lists 6 different types of biscotti. The long bar is populated by sophisticated locals side by side with visitors from uptown, creating a casual chique atmosphere.
