"Trattoria Alberto is the one of the few things everyone on Capitol Hill can agree on. The old-school restaurant with its cherry wood furniture and white linen table cloths is usually full of senators and staffers not-so-quietly discussing cuts to healthcare access over piping hot plates of chicken parm. And while the present company might leave a bad taste in your mouth, the food, like their creamy pesto fettuccine, is done well. Their creme brûlée, which they keep simple with cream, vanilla, and sugar, is one of the best in the city." - omnia saed
