The city skyline is the backdrop to an interior of muted colours, bronze tones, wood panelling and Venetian murals. Chef Riccardo Catarsi offers a twist on Northern Italian fare. For starters, try traditional minestrone soup with Parmesan or pan-fried Hokkaido scallops with potato, white radish, black garlic and rosemary.
