"This spot in the Arts District is well known to symphony and opera season ticket holders, but it’s actually a hidden gem of excellent Italian food. Try the Pappardelle Stellari with Wagyu bolognese, the classic Pollo al Marsala, or the slow braised veal ossobuco. Do not skip the dessert menu here, it’s stunning. On some nights, the slightly ostentatious dining room is graced with the presence of a live piano player." - Courtney E. Smith
