Magnolia

A glass-walled veranda dining room looks out over the Romagna hills toward San Marino, which is the kind of view that makes you feel the tasting menu is going better than it is. This is two-Michelin-starred fine dining, and chef Alberto Faccani builds menus that move between Emilian memory and quietly restless invention, with pairings that arrive somewhere you didn't expect but can't argue with. Service is gracious without being ceremonial, and the sommelier clearly means it.
