VISCONTI , the restaurant , features traditional northern Italian cuisine in a modern way using local ingredients . Think Tonno Crudo Carpaccio of delicate , thinly sliced yellowfin tuna with Meyer lemon gremolata , avocado mousse , crispy red mizuna and Sicilian olive vinaigrette .
Or a Crispy Skinned Branzino Filet and perfect Tagliatelle Bolognese . CHEF MARIO ALCOCER executes them all perfectly to the last bite ! But
my favorite spot was the welcoming Visconti Bar located right across from check-in . Handsome greens and dark woods create a warm environment which beckons long conversations of aged scotch on the rocks . And now I ’ m daydreaming . The Hotel Granduca Austin is an easy escape for the family or for two . You make of it what you want .
