A recent facelift improved the decor, adding a collection of contemporary art along with new fabrics and Italian fixtures. Still, it's no match for the fabulous design of offshoot Cafe Spiaggia next door. Business diners in groups of eight and 10. Couples celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, mostly the silver or golden varieties. Jackets are expected but not required for men.

This is waiter central and you'll begin to feel claustrophobic regardless how airy the restaurant really is. Ask for a window seat or a booth on the lower level.
