he glitz and glam of this Italian hot spot doesn’t end on the décor, but rather has a menu equally as ambitious thanks to the culinary team of twin chefs Nicola and Fabrizio Carro in the kitchen. While this resto could easily have attracted the traditional Euro-gigolo types (you know the high rollers, with the black shirt, white pants combo), the crowd is well heeled but not ridiculously over the top (or overly self-infatuated).

Lime green neon lighting and an immaculate granite bar stacked to the roof of various liquors is set off by ecru table cloths and rich brown leather booths. With a stellar eggplant parmagiana and an assortment of scrumptious salads (fit for the South Beach diet plan), the menu is as classy as the patrons.
