La Scaletta, North Palm Beach

Italian chefs Giordy and Raffaele recreate the experience of dining in Milan, not just by following authentic recipes, but by serving those dishes in a bistro-style dining room rich with dark hardwood floors and wooden wall paneling. Elegant chandeliers with individual fez-like lampshades dangle above beige tablecloths, grape-hued napkins, and a piano tucked into a corner. The chefs work in the open kitchen as diners dig into mountains of squid-ink gnocchi and homemade tortelli accented by sage and nutmeg. While individual pizzas bake in the oven and whole Mediterranean sea bass debone tableside, diners can sip on a La Scaletta signature skinny cocktail, shaken and poured into a martini glass by a trained Pilates instructor.:m]]
