Italian restaurant · Dupont Circle

"This perennially underrated Dupont Circle spot has been serving light, seasonal Italian food with a changing daily menu since 1987. The small dining room only has about a dozen tables, and there’s plenty of space between them, which keeps the noise level down. Snag a reservation, head over and settle in to enjoy a fancy five-course menu over a relaxing couple of hours." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
