There’s a cosmopolitan feel to this elegant city restaurant. The bar offers aperitivi and antipasti and a Martini beckons before you move through to the dining room to sidle up to slices of your favourite salumi. Heading into entrées, a subtly innovative vitello tonnato passes the litmus test with flying colours, and tender sweet breaded lamb’s brains with gratinée potato and cauliflower purée are melt-in-the-mouth comfort. Make a point of including a pasta course before mains; these fresh handmade treats are simple and nourishing and risotto is reliably executed from scratch. Main courses are led by red-gum-smoked beef fillet that smoulders with flavour, and the prosciutto-wrapped market fish with peperonata and salmoriglio pops. Desserts are superb, so make time and save space to enjoy this stylish modern Italian at its complete and satisfying best.
