There are the hot restaurants, the new restaurants, the ones where everybody goes to see and be seen. And then there are the all-timers, the restaurants we live in and return to again and again. Vin-Cenzo’s, surely, belongs to this category.
It’s the kind of place where candles flicker slowly over white tablecloths, where a perfect sphere of fior di latte gelato melts slowly over a warm fig and olive oil cake, where time extends and stretches out. Waiters live and breathe it, too. Ask for a steer and they’ll build you a meal – marinated olives to start, a lightly toasted finger sandwich of veal tongue and scamorza to snack on, an interlude of chicken and mortadella agnolotti suspended in golden broth.
Chicken under a brick? Duck lasagne with a hint of liver? Each plate has depth and detail for days. When can we come back?
Good to know: The one-page wine list is just the beginning – ask to see the cellar list if you’re serious.
