"This spot by the team behind restaurants like Don Angie, Zou Zou's, and Quality Italian might be in the weird mallscape of the Deutsche Bank Center (formerly the Time Warner Center), but it’s one of our favorite places for over-the-top Italian food. The space offers a whimsical take on a Roman feast, complete with animal statues wearing neon collars and actual fountains. Start with a pepperoncini-laced dirty martini and an order of roni cups and ranch, get one of their signature filet mignons, and finish with a slice of unreasonably good tiramisu ice cream cake." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman
