Pelago

Pelago is a hidden gem located in the luxurious Raffaello Hotel in the heart of the city. It takes traditional Northern and Southern Italian pasta and seafood dishes and modernizes them. The interior is distinguished by crisp white tablecloths and solid white background on the walls and ceiling, providing patrons with a memorable setting for a fine dining experience. The setting is ideal for a quiet, romantic evening or special occasion, with soft lighting and an outdoor courtyard. Desserts such as Sicilian cannolis or apple tart with apricot sauce are a delicious way to end any meal here.

This restaurant's cuisine is inspired by the Piemonte region of Italy, with key dishes such as snail confit with Arneis, leeks, carrots, herbs, and garlic bread. Pelago's other specialties include prosciutto-wrapped rabbit loin and plin tossed with thyme, butter, and parmesan. You should start your meal with a selection from the fantastic wine list and end it on a sweet note with citrus and vanilla fritters with tequila budino.
