Editorial Review
Insidery Italian dining room stands in a league of it's own. Intimo translates as thirty-odd diners max. Understated décor is unimportant, because really, who cares what frame hangs on a Caravaggio? Outstanding food wows every class from Target to Saks. Welcome to the anti-scene: nobody's trying to impress nobody ‘cuz it's all about the ravioli. Five courses transform storybook ingredients and into a culinary high mass of precious proportion. The je ne sais quoi of getting it.
