Highlights are the cuttlefish with bottarga, lobster and burrata, and the John Dory. Don't skip the olive bread either. – Green Guide Editor

It's like Michael White went to Branzino heaven, captured their god, and then poached him in unicorn butter. Also that pork shoulder, mmm.

Food is obviously amazing. The best casual corner seat is table 50 up by the bar (this tip is more for me than for you)

The meringue was stuffed with fig and Meyer lemon with mango sorbet. Great choice

Chef Michael White's Japanese-influenced superb Italian cuisine. Very flavorful. A little salty to my liking.

For the fusili, fresh octopus is first braised in red wine and tomato sauce. The pasta is then tossed in the sauce, and the chunks of bone marrow are added to the mix. Read more

Fusilli and crudo were amazing. The best lunch I've had in the city.
