An upscale Italian place named after one of Italy’s finest vinos, Barolo provides a good excuse to taste the deep, powerful ‘king of wines’ or – if your budget won’t stretch that far – a supporting cast of half a dozen under-appreciated Barberas or Dolcettos (there’s a generous and popular ‘happy hour’ that kicks off daily at 3pm).

If you’re sitting down to eat, the rigatoni with lamb and Parmesan, followed by a secondo of lemony veal, is as good as anything you’ll find in Piedmont.
