What do you expect from a fine Italian restaurant? A delicious offering of breads and
cheese? A superior wine list and elegant goblets? Do you prefer an atmosphere as
tempting as the menu? True to the intimate nature of the Blakely Hotel, its outstanding
restaurant-- Abboccato Ristorante offers all of this in a romantic and comfortable
environment that puts you at ease for a mouth-watering, belt-loosening feast. The
decorative touches such as the clay colored brick walls on one side and luxuriously
upholstered ones on the other compliment an equally divine meal. Sip on a strawberry
rhubarb bellini or ask one of the helpful servers to assist you in picking the perfect wine
from the extensive list. Inspired chef, Jake Addeo, has created such fantasies as pasta
with Valrona chocolate served with morel mushrooms, white asparagus and parmesan
areggiano finished with Umbrian black summer truffles. Reluctant to leave such an
intoxicating evening? Spend the night in The Blakely's beautiful penthouse, complete
with a balcony and an enchanting view.
