The decorative tagines at stylish Ornato reflect Luca Ornato's love of global flavours, a fact also echoed in out-of-the-box dishes like crudo (raw seafood) with yuzu.

Attention to detail extends to everything from the locally handmade glass plates to a wine list championing smaller producers. Book ahead.
