Pane Caldo (CLOSED)

The authentic Northern Italian eats at this tony Gold Coast mainstay are luscious enough to make you forget their inflated price tags. So if you can swing it, go all the way, dahling. The menu changes often, but on any given week you could start by ordering a bottle of Barolo and buttery risotto sprinkled with slices of black truffles. Follow up with organic chicken stuffed with spinach, mozzarella and wild mushrooms. Dessert shifts gears by heading for France, with bombes as dolled up as most of the patrons.
