Fodor's Review:

Formerly L'Impero, this renamed but still trendy restaurant has a bold new menu under the helm of chef Michael White. The orange-and-white room has 110 seats, all filled with locals and tourists who come for the chic ambience, polished service, and even better food. Tasty sfizi, or nibbles—such as baby eggplant with basil, vinegar, and chili—foreshadow well-prepared basics such as buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes and grilled lamb chops with white beans and escarole. Eclectic and flavorsome offerings like grilled quail skewers and suckling pig are also available. The spot has several outdoor tables for alfresco dining and a spacious bar area to drink from the all-Italian beer list, or from the 550-bottle wine list with many Sicilian selections.
