Percorso

Refined Italian cuisine in a sexy dining room in the city’s most opulent hotel, and it is no surprise that tables here are among the toughest to book in a status-obsessed city. The dining room is broken up into a series of rooms so all areas feel intimate and have views of the cathedral and square. The corner room was used as an office by architect Montferrand while he was building St. Isaac's Cathedral. Today the cuisine is made mainly with ingredients shipped from farms in Italy and prepared in an open kitchen, where homemade pasta and risotto seemingly always simmer.
