Pelican Hill's deluxe resort dining room is named for noted Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), but the elegant northern Italian dishes are overseen by new chef de cuisine Luigi Fineo, a veteran of Thomas Keller's French Laundry in Napa and Bouchon in Beverly Hills. Italy-born Fineo earned consecutive Michelin star ratings in 2008 and '09 as executive chef of Santa Monica's La Botte Ristorante. Pastas are made daily and dried naturally at 68 degrees in a custom room, and seasonal produce grown on the Irvine Ranch, a sister property. Service is ultragenteel and the wine list loaded with Italy's heavy hitters. Full bar.
