"The first upscale establishment to open at The Yards, this Northern Italian restaurant is brought to us by Chef Michael White of NYC. If the selection of meats, cheeses and pastas aren’t as appealing, try a hunk of meat either grilled or spit-roasted over their impressive wood-burning grill. The spacious patio that wraps around the front of the restaurant looks over the Yards Park lawn to the Anacostia. Desserts are worth seeking out as well." - Julekha Dash
