"Despite being a chain, Chicago-born RPM consistently sends out superior pastas, with excellent service to match, at its glitzy location in Mt. Vernon Triangle. The best-selling Mama DePandi’s bucatini pomodoro relies on a family recipe from RPM’s co-founder Giuliana Rancic. The D.C. hotspot is also known for its cacio e pepe, short rib bolognese, and celebrity clientele like BTS and Drake." - Tierney Plumb, Mekita Rivas
