An almost-30-year-old city power-lunch hub finally gets its second hat
Salt cod is softened with milk, infused with bay leaves and then whipped with olive oil for piling onto bread: start there. His vitello tonnato pulls an Italian staple from the sea of ubiquity and reminds you why the combination of veal, tuna and capers actually works. There's always raw, sliced, dressed fish, maybe goldband snapper with a trifecta of citruses, tempered by persimmon sauce. Slow-cooked, tender duck leg is torn through a rich spinach and herb sauce that clings to short, twirled pasta.
There's always rabbit. This time, it's on the bone in a light, white-wine braise rounded out with onion, green olives, garlic and butter. You might have it layered with chestnuts between crepes or rolled with prosciutto. What tasty, versatile meat, and how good to see it honoured.
When hazelnuts come in, straight from the farmer, the dessert specials tend to star gianduja, a blend of chocolate and hazelnut butter. I had it piped into a delicate, chocolate-tart shell lidded with a pretty lattice of shaved rhubarb.

Jimmy Kimmel obtains Italian citizenship over Trump
Jimmy Kimmel has obtained Italian citizenship. The 57-year-old presenter - who has Katie, 33, and Kevin, 31, with ex-wife Gina Maddy and Jane, 11, and Billy, eight, with spouse Molly McNearney - has Italian heritage on his mother's side so sought to obtain official links to Europe because he is so unhappy with the state of the US under the presidency of Donald Trump. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, he said: "I do have... I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. "What's going on is ... as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it's so much worse. "It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than (Trump) would like it to be." The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host believes people should "welcome" those who have changed their views on Trump after previously supporting him to be re-elected. "I think the door needs to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome," he said. The Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? host's comments about Trump come after the US president claimed he and Jimmy Fallon could be "next" to have their shows cancelled after news that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. Trump wrote on his own Truth Social platform: "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. "These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television." In response, Kimmel posted on Instagram: "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret." His contract for Jimmy Kimmel Live! - which airs on ABC - is set to expire in 2026.

Shoppers rush to buy celebrity-loved d'Alba spray serum now 42 per cent off on Amazon Australia
If you've ever wanted skin that looks like it's been lit from within, Amazon Australia's latest beauty deal might be the ticket. Right now, the d'Alba Italian White Truffle First Spray Serum is an incredible 42 per cent off, selling for just $22, down from $38, and shoppers are not wasting any time. With over four thousand bottles snapped up in the past month, it's clear this is more than just another skincare trend. The spray is infused with premium white truffles carefully extracted from Piedmont, Italy, blended with tocopherol (vitamin E) to create d'Alba's signature ingredient, Trufferol. Rich in antioxidants, it promises to deliver a glow so fresh you might just skip the filter. It's also certified vegan by the Italian V-label, dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and completely surfactant-free, so you get luxury without compromise. With over 30 million bottles sold globally and more than 100,000 glowing reviews on the official d'Alba website, this product has earned its cult status. The secret lies in its clever double-layer formula: the serum layer is packed with Italian white truffle extract, niacinamide and chia seed extract to boost elasticity and calm the skin, while the oil layer delivers hydration and locks it in. All you need to do is give it a good shake before spritzing. Why makeup artists love it Notable names in the beauty world, from Patrick Star and Manny Gutierrez to Carli Bybel, Christen Dominique and James Charles, have sung its praises. Patrick Star says they use it to prep the skin and bring back glow after applying powder, calling it 'skin-like' even over a full face of makeup. Carli Bybel describes it as her 'staple, go-to heavenly product'. She uses before, during and after makeup. The many ways to use it This isn't just a setting spray. You can use it as the first step in your skincare routine after cleansing to lock in moisture, during makeup to smooth out cakey foundation, or post-makeup for a radiant finish. It also works as an all-over body and hair mist for a head-to-toe glow. For an instant cooling effect, stash it in your beauty fridge and apply as needed throughout the day. Shake it for a nourishing, dewy finish or leave it unshaken for a lighter touch; either way, the results are instant. Shoppers on Amazon Australia rave about its fine mist, refreshing feel and glow-boosting power. One reviewer wrote, ' Absolutely love this serum! It's lightweight, super hydrating, and gives an instant glow. Given that this limited-time deal is already generating serious buzz, there's a good chance it won't be around for long.
