The Interconti on Marine Drive sports some pretty awesome venues - Czar Bar and the Dome itself are the pride jewels of the hotel, but I can't go as far for Corleone, their signature Italian restaurant. The ambiance is simply fantastic, what you would expect from an Italian place anywhere else in the world; classy, romantic, and cozy. The service was a bit slow and I had to order my fresh orange juice twice before it actually showed up.
The main disappointment of the night was the actual food. I can't say that anything I tried here really tasted like the hearty Italian I was expecting (and expect from every Italian joint I go to). The food was average and I guess my expectations had been built up by the pretty environment.
Also, the wine list is a bit disappointing.
