Great food and a sweeping panorama of Ancient Rome lure patrons to the sixth floor of this deluxe hotel on the Spanish Steps. There's so much talk of the view that it is easy to overlook the superb traditional Italian cuisine. The brilliant chef, Francesco Apreda, a Neapolitan, serves Italian food that's influenced by the rest of the world -- for example, sea bass with a ginger sauce evocative of Thailand. You are likely to see Italy's leader, Silvio Berlusconi, feasting on pheasant ravioli with truffles. Apreda delights guests with such delectable dishes as breaded sea scallops stuffed with mozzarella and black truffles, or fusilloni pasta with a quail ragout. For dessert, why not the Sicilian cannoli filled with mascarpone cheese and pistachios, served with a raspberry and star anise sorbet?
