Piero Selvaggio has opened this latest branch of his venerable Santa Monica–born Italian Valentino in Houston’s sleek Hotel Derek, occupying the former home of Bistro Moderne; extravagant multicourse meals are dished out in a modern yet cushy setting done up in dark tones and crimson, while the adjacent less-formal space is home to the stylish Vin Bar spotlighting a wide range of small plates, crudo and wines.
