Hidden behind a high row of hedges, this chic hotel restaurant is always filled with well-dressed international diners enjoying well-made Italian fare - a combination you don't see very often in a place like South Beach. The cuisine comes with a contemporary edge - seared foie gras with a ginger and tomato marmalade; tagliatelle with crème fra√Æche and caviar; and seared lamb chops with grilled endive and pickled onions. Comments reflect the effort that has gone into the food: "One of my favorite places to eat on the Beach" and "It's refreshing to find a restaurant on the Beach that didn't lower standards to take advantage of the tourist trade."
