"Can't get that 8 o'clock reservation, Rob?" "Why no, Amber, we're *just* not cool enough. Let's start a site complaining about other peoples' parties." Yes, since there's bound to more of those Velvet Rope Rejects than us on the right side, it was eventual for those Sour Raisins to have their own snarky support group. Well, becoming the subject of one such disgruntled Internet post hasn’t stopped the caravan of Maybachs and Escalades at this Italian restaurant. Whether worthy of praise or scathe, the music parade continues with Russell Simmons, Jay Z, Damon Dash, Sean Combs and a slew of other Def Jam and Bad Boy notables coming through to test out Roland Biamonte and Marco Lavilla’s Northern Italian fare. Come to think of it, perhaps it is exactly the ability of the staff to ensure privacy sans staring neighbours and offer a bit of hominess with personalised menus that has made this a destination.
