RESTAURANT REVIEW
When Massimiliano Alajmo created dishes like risotto flavored with coffee and an espuma of mashed potatoes with squid-ink-flavored tapioca, he became the first Italian chef to successfully update traditional Italian dishes with modernist concepts. His restaurant remains a must stop for anyone traveling along the axis from Milan to Venice.
