The city skyline is the backdrop here with an interior of muted colours, wood panelling and Venetian murals. Chef Riccardo Catarsi’s menu offers a modern twist on classic Northern Italian dishes.

For starters, try the warm lobster salad with baby spinach and caviar or the traditional minestrone soup with pesto and Parmesan. The home-made pasta with red prawns, porcini and black cabbage and the traditional cappelletti pasta with Angus beef, capon consommé and roasted chestnuts are good choices, as are mains of slow-cooked veal shank and roasted lamb rack. For desserts, try the Amalfi limoncello parfait with berries, and ask about pairing from the wine and cheese library.
