Fodor's Review:

Sometimes you need to pamper yourself, and this is a great place to do it. For years, devotees of chef-owner Suzette Gresham-Tognetti's Italian cooking have been swooning over what emerges from her kitchen: lobster panzerotti (raviolilike stuffed pasta); potato gnocchi with lamb and beef ragù; venison chops with caramelized chestnuts; pancetta-wrapped scallops over fresh butter beans. She also tempts with a four-course tasting menu ($110, with wine pairings). Co-owner Giancarlo Paterlini oversees the service and the list of Italian wines, both of which are superb. The room, with its vaulted ceiling and pale gold and ocher palette, suits the refined food.

Seldom does one find a restaurant this truly desirable. Along with outstanding food and exceptional service, the watercolor decor (hence the name) and the ambience in general is close to perfect. It's a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. It's also quiet and refined. Highly recommended.....
