Teatriz

Frommer's Review

Decorated by the famed French architect and designer Philippe Starck, this old theater is now transformed into a top-notch Italian restaurant. Theater seats have long given way to dining tables, but Starck kept many of the elements of the old thespian's locale. As you head for the restrooms, you encounter a stunning fountain of marble, silver, and gold, everything bathed in a bluish light, giving you the impression you're in a nightclub. The kitchen closes at midnight, but the bar remains open until 3am. The dishes are genuine and cleverly crafted. Launch your meal with fresh mozzarella with tomatoes in virgin olive oil or raw salmon and turbot flavored with fresh dill. One of the best pastas is a tortellini filled with Parmesan-flavored ground meat. There are also Spanish favorites like the rib-sticking estofado de rabo de buey (bull's tail stew). Top desserts are the fresh cheese mousse with mango ice cream and velvety smooth tiramisu.
