D.C.’s Best Italian Restaurants | Eater DC

"Eater DC’s 2022 Restaurant of the Year makes all its pastas in-house. Along with that famous 40-layer lasagna, dinnertime highlights include a veal ragu pappardelle with a surprise kick from serranos and the campanelle nere — a squid-ink pasta with a luscious lobster-studded sauce. Pumpkin-shaped zucca in a sausage ragu shows up at both lunch and dinner, and there’s lots of rotating specials at night." - Mekita Rivas
