"Inside The Ivens hotel, the spectacle begins at a soaring central bar stacked to the ceiling with colorful bottles, then shifts through rooms that nod to 19th-century glamour, nautical stripes, and classic Italian trattorias. The food backs up the drama: veal carpaccio, truffled steak tartare, scarlet shrimp risotto, and rigatoni all’amatriciana, capped by a tiramisu whisked together tableside—fresh, creamy, and dangerously moreish. Negroni lovers will find a dedicated menu, though I’ll always choose the classic." - Abigail Malbon
