White tablecloths, amber-toned walls and a deep blue ceiling give this narrow room the feel of a chic yet cozy Italian bistro. The menu, which changes daily, features Northern Italian fare based on fresh ingredients hand-picked weekly by chef Maurice Bonhomme. Choose from a variety of antipasti, salads, pastas and meat- and fish-centric entrees, all complemented, of course, by freshly baked pane caldo (warm bread). The restaurant also features an extensive wine list, with more than 1,200 bottles from around the world. Soft jazz, fresh flowers and fine china create a warm, romantic atmosphere.
