"This riff on Italian trattoria food is so elemental it's un-Instagrammable. And that’s what makes Café Altro Paradiso great. Start with a plate of the arancini and a light, delicious fennel salad before getting into a plate of pasta or a perfectly executed pork Milanese, then round things out with a blob of panna cotta with Amarena cherries. The food is elegant but hearty—go hungry. To drink there's a tightly edited list of experimental cocktails made with mezcal, interesting bitters, and amari. And don't be surprised to run into a celebrity here—this is a spot they can come and not get mobbed by fans or paparazzi." - Andrea Whittle
