Fodor's Expert Review Senso Ristorante & Bar

If you dine outside, in the stone quadrangle of this former colonial convent and orphanage, you'll be flanked by pillars, balconies, and statues, and it might seem as if you've been whisked away to an Italian opera. It's a magical setting, though the contemporary Italian cuisine is still the main lure. The menu changes regularly, but expect top-notch pastas, seafood, risottos, and hearty classics like osso bucco, braised beef cheek, and rack of lamb.
