  1. The Dover

    Italian

    Eat 84

    The plush red curtain parts to reveal a narrow wood-panelled bar that feels like Mayfair's idea of a Brooklyn red-sauce joint, which is exactly what it is. The Italian-American menu runs to spaghetti and meatballs and prawn cocktail with horseradish, all served with a studied elegance that stops just short of self-parody. Order a martini, because the staff will swap your glass for a freshly chilled one the moment it warms, which tells you everything about the tone of the room.

    Two honors, in evidence:

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
