 Lots of white gauze, marble and stainless steel embellish the third of the Sena family restaurants (La Famiglia, Panorama), which looks as if it would fit nicely in Milan. Here, the refined Italian cuisine is given a more northern touch with a carpaccio of beef and gnocchi in truffled cream. Try the seared pork tenderloin with spiced pear or the herb-stuffed quail with wild mushrooms, two dishes you don't see on every other Italian menu in town. The veal chop is huge, and best enjoyed with risotto and a porcini mushroom sauce---which, strangely enough given the $39 price tag, costs an extra $3. The atmosphere is subdued chic. The place is very busy at lunch, but in the evening, with a veal paillard and a bottle of Barbaresco from the restaurant’s extensive cellar, you can't go wrong.
