Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: April 3 | Eater DC

"A glam Italian spot whose well-known lasagna is indulgent — 40 layers of short rib and truffle mornay sauce — but the pappardelle is a sleeper hit: wide housemade noodles married to a heavy white ragu and veal, balanced by spicy green chilis and slightly pickled mushrooms. The funghi sourdough pizza shows off a perfect chewy crust from the open kitchen’s pizza oven; with pizzas priced at $25 or less, the reviewer plans a return visit for a more relaxed bar night, peering into the fiery oven and splitting a pie and a few cicchetti with a friend." - Eater Staff
