The romantic room remains a reliable haunt for deep-pocketed Forest Hillers, even if the cooking occasionally underwhelms. White linens, arched ceilings and low lighting set a pleasant atmosphere in the long, narrow space, while friendly servers make chit chat with regulars. The food is traditional but safe. Superb appetizers, like impeccably char-grilled calamari or beautiful, fresh burrata with decent off-season tomatoes, showcase skilful cooking and expert sourcing. A salad of savoury portobello mushrooms and sharp asiago is more exciting than a bland beet and goat cheese combination. Despite their impressive reputation, pastas disappoint: the noodles in the linguine all’antrata are store-bought, the sauce is runny and the duck is cut ridiculously large. A special of braised lamb shank is under-seasoned and overwhelmed by the accompanying horseradish-laced mashed potatoes. The legendary cellar has an uncommonly deep roster of well-aged Italian heavy hitters. Mains $25–$43.
