"This business lunch stalwart has been around for a long time, but with no loss in quality. Barolo does mostly coastal Italian fare — king crab fettuccine, vongole in bianco, penne con salmone affumicato — and the white tablecloths, colossal wine list, and dapper waitstaff never crack a smile. Dr. Frasier Crane would take a first date here. That said, everything’s fantastically prepared and perfectly plated, right down to the late-night bar menu." - Meg van Huygen
