"Housed in a four-storey, Neoclassical, palatial setting inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, this flagship by a celebrity chef pairs theatrical old-world glamour with highly inventive cooking. Studio Peregalli’s 1,200m² overhaul restored ornate pilasters, hand-painted stucco, intricate mosaic floors and artfully distressed mirrors, and the venue includes a plaza café, private event space and a cellar of over 10,000 bottles. In the second-floor dining room nearly every plate reads like a design object: a Russian salad presented as a lacquered sculptural disc of diced vegetables, and show-stopping tagliatelle made entirely from egg yolk (yolks marinated for seven hours) served with artichoke and black truffle exemplify the kitchen’s focus on colour, contrast and technique." - Delle Chan
