Weekend Inspiration: Washington, D.C.’s 14th Street, NW
"The neighborhood is hopping with a crowded, convivial vibe and Lupo Verde dances to that same beat. This two-storied restaurant has an osteria feel to its downstairs level, where a Carrara marble bar and communal wood tables welcome diners, while upstairs has a rustic appeal. The kitchen too boasts some unique offerings—polpo e burrata starts things off on the right foot—but it’s really all about the homemade pasta and spot-onaffetatihere.Spaghettatais gloriously thick and chewy, while the cheese and charcuterie boards, crammed with delicious imported salumi, cheeses, olives and giardiniera, could very well be the best in D.C. Finish with a classic affogato, in which a shot of hot espresso is poured over a dollop of creamy vanilla ice cream." - The MICHELIN Guide
