Repackage the idea of lipstick on a pig - nestle in lipstick red chairs and slurp on their "Poma," a refreshing, burgundy-tinted pomegranate martini with a swift kick of lime. First floor is more for the older folks whose rusty joints find it difficult to handle four flights of stairs.

The same affliction troubles Ugo Cardinal Poletti, 64, the Pope...
