Fodor's Expert Review Mama Della's Ristorante

The premise here is that you're eating at a home-turned-restaurant—there's an actual "Mama Della," who appears nightly, and you'll be serenaded by a strolling accordionist, guitar player, and vocalist. The menu features Italian classics like homemade parsley gnocchi with pomodoro sauce, chicken parmigiana, and lasagna alongside more ambitious dishes like bistecca (steak) with truffle mashed potatoes, roasted wild mushrooms, broccolini, onions, and carrots. Patio seating provides a view of the hotel's nightly Musica Della Notte (Music of the Night) opera show.
