Servers are note perfect, the soaring room is gorgeous, and the food is fabulous at Tony Mantuano’s Mag Mile destination. Stunners such as hand-rolled potato gnocchi in ricotta sauce with Savini black truffles and the duck breast lacquered with orange blossom honey blow the Italian competition away. Great cheese program but the mascarpone cheese torte with espresso sauce is the only way to end.
