The Hottest New Restaurants Around D.C., January 2025
"This charming NYC-born restaurant joined its fancy French sibling La Grande Boucherie in the same Federal-American National Bank Building in October. The 120-seat dining room near the White House evokes a grand villa nestled in the Italian countryside, with Italian executive chef Danilo Galati serving up traditional dishes like a bowl of pesto pasta that gets a textural twist from potatoes and green beans. Pastas are all handmade on-site from its shiny open kitchen in the back. Charcuterie and cheese arrives with homemade focaccia, followed by a crudo bar, salads, soups, and antipasti like octopus carpaccio or roasted veal eye round surrounded in tonnato sauce and crispy capers." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
