IMHO, anyone who rates the Whitney's uneven service and overpriced food as superior to Cafe Cortina simply hasn't been there, or doesn't know great Italian food when they see it. This is a primo spot for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special romantic occasion. Adrian Tonto and his staff are consummate professionals who are attentive to their guests, but never obtrusive. Special requests when making reservations are graciously addressed, and if you ever find something wanting, it will be remedied immediately. This restaurant is a hidden gem; as the French say, "il faut."
Pros: Worth every penny
Cons: Pricey
