"You've got to eat in La Giostra, north of Santa Croce, at least once... Prince Dimitri and his two sons run an opulent ship, which sails along on rich flavors."

"The restaurant, so named because the long, vaulted space once housed a carousel, is a perfectly straightforward restaurant owned and run by Prince Dimitri and Soldano d'Asburgo Lorena."
