"Capitol Crossing’s glam Italian restaurant — and Michelle and Barack Obama’s go-to date spot for 40-layer lasagna — mimics ice cream with vanilla oat milk. Seasonal sorbet flavors, like mandarin or apple cider, can be ordered separately or as a swirl in the eye-popping vegan finale ($10). Talented pastry chef Manabu Inoue honed his craft working at Michelin-rated restaurants in Geneva and alongside chef Joël Robuchon in his native Tokyo." - Tierney Plumb
