Dessert holds to tradition—servers scoop airy tiramisu straight from a communal tray onto your plate.

  • Cotoletta alla Milanese

    So glad I chose the generous portioned Cotoletta Milanese for mains. It was the crowning glory, and one of the finest versions of that dish I’ve had in any five star restaurant in any country! (Including Italy!) .
