Chef Soo Ahn's polished Gold Coast Italian — the Top Chef alum (who earned a Michelin star as exec chef at Band of Bohemia) runs modern Northern-and-Southern Italian against a 3,000-bottle cellar, in an intimate room in the No. 9 Walton building. Handmade pasta and a serious wine program anchor it; special-occasion without stiffness. One of the Gold Coast's most accomplished newer Italian rooms. Come for chef-driven pasta and a deep cellar pour.
