"Talea is a new addition to the Cleveland Park lineup, but it fits into the neighborhood like it’s been around forever. If Cactus Cantina one block down is your spot for a round of after-work margaritas, Talea is the move for a wine-fueled date night. The pasta is solid and sometimes great, like the decadent lobster diavolo, but not so much the ricotta gnocchi, which we wish were a little more pillowy. But don’t let that deter you—it’s the only real miss on an otherwise strong menu." - Omnia Saed
