Senso Ristorante & Bar Review

Should you eat alfresco—flanked by pillars, balconies, and statues—in the stone quadrangle of this converted colonial convent and orphanage, you may feel as if you're in an Italian opera. Nevertheless, the contemporary Italian creations are unquestionably the main acts here. Best bites include the panfried buffalo mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham, olive pesto, and chili mayonnaise, and the manzo (beef fillet in rocket and Gorgonzola sauce). Some popular dishes appear consistently, though the menu changes monthly. If you start your evening at the neighboring W Wine Bar, you can arrange for your drinks to be bought to your table.
