Well, becoming the subject of one such disgruntled Internet post hasn’t stopped the caravan of Maybachs and Escalades at this Italian restaurant. Whether worthy of praise or scathe, the music parade continues with Russell Simmons, Jay Z, Damon Dash, Sean Combs and a slew of other Def Jam and Bad Boy notables coming through to test out Roland Biamonte and Marco Lavilla’s Northern Italian fare.
