I had the privilege to visit Wynn Macau’s fine-dining Italian cuisine, Ristorante Il Teatro, twice. The first time, food was almost inedible as my soup and risotto were overly saltish, and could not be rectified even after sending them back to the kitchen. I did not finish my meal. Food was almost perfect when I … Continue reading →
