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.

Mains include home-made pastas such as tortellini with Wagyu beef cheek ragout and spaghetti with red prawns and smoked Stracciatella cheese. There is beef tenderloin with goose liver and black truffles, and veal Milanese with artichoke and cherry tomatoes. Save room for Amalfi limoncello parfait with berries, and ask about wine and cheese library pairing.
