Epicure

Nestled in the heart of Little Italy, Milan is a sleek new lounge and restaurant seeking to bring a jet-set feel to the old neighborhood. Designed by Meghan Hoffmann, the 12,000-square-foot space includes a contemporary bar, lounge and sushi bar on the main floor done up in shades of crimson, espresso and white, a main dining room upstairs that exudes a Miami South Beach feel, and an indoor/outdoor patio lounge area overlooking the street. Executive chef Stephen Carey’s menu offers a blend of modern Italian cuisine infused with Mediterranean flavors, and includes grilled steaks, hand-made pastas, bruschetta, flatbreads and Italian-inspired sushi.  Open nightly for dinner. 1000 Eastern Ave., 410-685-6111
