Pomeii, Italy

MUSE Restaurant & Wine Bar: Muse truly shows its dedication to authentic Italian cuisine in the carefully planned menu, atmosphere, and decor of this reliable locals' favorite. It was from the ancient Villa of Mysteries in Pomeii, Italy, that the idea of Muse Restaurant was said to have been originally inspired. Be sure to make reservations in advance - this historic home turned Society Street restaurant is a popular place for eating, drinking fine wines and lingering over intimate conversation. For starters, try the Clams Fettunta, Grilled Calamari, or one of Muse's creative artisan salads, like the Seared Manchego Cheese & Baby Arugula, dressed in a Blood Orange Vinaigrette. For a light but plentiful main course, sample the Gnudi with green pea puree and cauliflower, or the Fennel Dusted Scallops with lima bean and tomato ragu. Whatever you elect to order at Muse, your dish will arrive elegantly presented and full of robust local flavors.
