Fodor's Review:

Making an attempt to convey the vast regional styles of Italian cooking, Abboccato is an ambitious restaurant in a cellarlike space adjacent to the Blakely Hotel. The name, which means "pleasing to the mouth," lives up to that assertion with rich dishes like suckling pig cooked in milk and hazelnuts, accented with black truffles and chanterelle mushrooms. Another favorite is ravioli filled with butternut squash and duck prosciutto in sage-and-brown butter sauce.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Not often do you find such a gem in a hotel but that is what Abboccato is; great food and fun besides. Be sure to ask for a table towards the front; if the weather is nice they hae a lovely outside dining area. Fun little bar and great wait staff. Enjoy

All 5s for everything about Abboccato. The best Bolognese sauce and other interesting, excellent dishes to choose from. The desserts were also excellent.
