    This is the second time that I have dined at Fasano in the last few months and once again it was fantastic. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the atmosphere is delightful. I don't believe there is another room in NYC that is as nice. The tables are spaced and there are separators in parts of the room, but they blend in with the room. Very quiet even with a full room. The food was outstanding. We had an amuse bouche, a scallop starter and the duck ravioli special. All were really good, but the duck ravioli special was ethereal. The sauce was a combination of the duck jus and an orange sauce. It was perfect. Not too citrusy or sweet. The service is beyond impeccable. Kap, the sommelier, remembered me from the last time that we dined at Fasano and he paired a beautiful white with our first course and then helped me select a vintage Barolo to go with the duck. I can't thank him enough. If you are into wine, you need to ask for him. The Captain was Eka and he was equally attentive to us. Together they made us feel like special guests. I imagine that they do that for everyone in the room. What an experience.
