"At Esca, “grabbing lunch” translates to an entire afternoon thanks to unrushed, elegant service. The restaurant is housed in a sprawling two-story casona in Roma, with a Capri-like entrance full of white pebbles and plants. It's the perfect setting for leisurely enjoying a menu that reads like a greatest-hits tour of Italian seafood. There's a generously uni-loaded bruschetta on carrot brioche with ricotta, and a mascarpone agnolotti, which might be one of the most indulgent bites in the neighborhood, served in a bowl with raw scallops, topinambur, guanciale, and truffle sauce." - Guillaume Guevara
