A good cheap way to checkout fashion conscious Italians & foreigners alike is happy hour at Nobu which is located inside the Armani department store.
Order a drink or two and help yourself to free food (sushi, tempura, squid salad, etc). There is a more quiet dining area upstairs from the music thumping lounge area.
You can definitely see Armani’s clean and simple dark wooded interior design. Even with the sexy dim lights and crowds of waiting patrons, you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of Giorgio Armani himself, who makes his way to the restaurant every so often to hang out.
