"Run by three seasoned Mizuna alumni, this Italian date-night retreat in Wash Park emanates class and grace. Handmade pastas take special pride of place here — consider malloreddus in Sherry cream with mushrooms and walnuts or ravioli inspired by French onion soup — and the sizeable wine list was naturally built to showcase them. But no meal is complete without at least one concoction from the bar, be it a chile-laced mezcal Negroni or an Old Fashioned infused with roasted squash." - Ruth Tobias
