As the name suggests, this Mediterranean Paxos restaurant elicits a sense of warm relaxation, whether savoring a languorous lunch, delving into a decadent dinner, or simply finding respite in an artfully crafted cocktail – from classic to seasonal libations inspired by exotic locales. Respectful of the Italian tradition of accentuating natural flavors, the menu puts modern tweaks on enticing antipasti dishes, house-made pastas, gourmet pizzas, and main courses that celebrate top quality proteins from land and sea. For example, the rapport between the flavors of steak and mushrooms is amplified in Filetto di Manzo. A superbly tender char-grilled filet mignon — cooked to liking — arrives nestled atop a roasted portobello mushroom cap, with a drizzle of porcini vinaigrette imparting an earthy tanginess to this splendid ensemble. An extensive wine list ensures every plate has a compatible pour.
