"There are as many Italian restaurants as there are pasta shapes in Adams Morgan. If you want a reliable spot for casual weeknight dinners, Osterio al Volo is it. The kitchen sits in the center of the room and acts like one giant diffuser, filling the space with the scent of freshly baked garlic bread, short rib, and ravioli. The standing menu is full of classics like cacio e pepe and spaghetti carbonara, but it’s the restaurant’s weekly specials like their saucy and tenderly braised duck ragu that keep us coming back." - omnia saed
