Il Fiore

Chefs Clay Cassis (formerly of Bestia and Vespertine) and Joel Stovall (formerly of Orsa & Winston) team up for this modern-Italian gem hidden just off the lobby of Downtown's O Hotel, which offers creative weekday breakfast like matcha French toast and lunch such as heirloom-tomato BLTs with burrata for guests and those savvy enough to seek it out. At dinnertime, more composed plates that are just as technique-driven as they are playful mean cardamom pomodoro over fresh pasta; roasted carrots with a carrot-top kosho and house-made nori butter; and crispy purple potatoes with a bright and creamy cashew ricotta.
