The Scene:

Few restaurants offer the views and inner glitz of this Corviglia dining room perched high above the ski mountain where late afternoons pass by in the whiff of freshly shaved truffles and wind of popped Cristal magnums. Contained within a sleek architectural box of cedar siding with jetting terraces and asymmetrical windows, the exterior of the restaurant features a dazzling outdoor area arranged in three-person sun loungers and steamer chairs tossed under a row a outdoor banquettes where winter glitterati sit tucked under their choicest chinchilla-trimmed ski wear. Inside is a slightly more modest scene in the interior dining room with its decidedly modern mix of tumbled stone floors and crackling fireplace arranged under taxidermy artwork and whimsical chandeliers swaying from a timber-pitched ceiling.
