"Located in the historic Copacabana Palace hotel, this homage to the acclaimed Cipriani bar in Venice delivers one of the best Italian experiences in town. Since the arrival of Neapolitan chef Nello Cassese, the menu has skewed modern and fresh, with dishes like a version of the classic caprese salad with scallops, a daily risotto (with flavor combos like eel, pear, and foie gras), and plenty of handmade pastas." - Rafael Tonon, Taylor Barnes
