TATLER SAYS

This elegant, multigarland Italian is where chef Umberto Bombana has won three Michelin stars every year since 2011. The popular Bergamo native is renowned as the king of truffles, but his cuisine is exceptional year-round, celebrating the finest Italian, French and Japanese ingredients. Exquisite handmade pastas come as standard, but innovative seafood creations with nods to local tastes—such as abalone carpaccio— join the finest beef, game and decadent desserts. A stellar Italian wine list rounds things off.

SIGNATURE DISHES

•Homemade tagliolini with butter, parmesan and Alba white truffle

•Warm lobster salad with roasted mushroom, truffle dressing and Alba white truffle

•Veal and mushroom, agnolotti-roasted mushroom and mushroom jus

TATLER TIPS

The restaurant’s cocktail bar is a popular draw thanks to killer Negronis and other creations from host with the most Devender Kumar.
