What to order
The plates that decide it
Beef-jowl ravioli in truffle broth — the rich, slow-cooked signature that turns up again and again
Vitello tonnato — a nod to the city's Italian leanings, reliably done
Lemon risotto with hazelnuts — a bright, local-citrus plate worth ordering when it appears
Whatever the market dictated that morning — the short board is the whole point — let it steer you
