"An occasional burst of flame from the open kitchen adds to Il Premio’s already sultry dinner setting. Whether you grab a seat in the cocktail lounge (complete with a grand piano and printed velvet couches) or slide into a curved booth in the low-lit dining room, this O4W Italian Steakhouse is meant for a big, indulgent night out. There are nine cuts of steak on the menu, including a perfectly marbled $150 Japanese wagyu. We recommend getting a pasta course, too (we like the rigatoni all’astice with buttery lobster and bright San Marzano tomatoes). Add a bottle of Italian wine or a velvety martini, made with gin, vodka, and olive oil for a smooth finish." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
