Coastal Italian with house-made pastas, fresh seafood, steaks
"Acqua Bistecca at City Ridge is ringing in its first New Year’s Eve with a $135 multi-course dinner that’s all about indulgence. Look forward to winter truffles, caviar, pristine seafood, and house-made pastas, plus an optional oyster add-on with limoncello granita. With seating throughout the night, it’s an easy (and tasty) way to toast to 2026, with even a sweet treat to take home." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Acqua Bistecca celebrates its first Thanksgiving with a filling, four-course Italian-inspired feast ($95 per person) blending American tradition and refined technique. Guests can choose from dishes like chestnut soup with foie gras, roast heritage turkey with sage gravy, or braised short rib, with all sides served family-style. Optional add-ons include a pasta course or filet upgrade, plus decadent desserts like pumpkin pie with pizzelle or olive oil cake with mascarpone. Reservations are open for dining between 1 p.m. until 8 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"A coastal Italian stunner from Michael Mina lights up City Ridge with house-made pastas, vibrant crudos, grilled seafood (striped bass, black bass, Maine lobster), and char-grilled steaks brushed with lambrusco butter. A striking mirrored bar anchors spritzes and seaside-leaning cocktails like the Capri (clarified milk punch with bourbon, tomato water, and basil), and Mina envisions the experience as a “dinner party,” with coursed spreads available for groups of six or more." - Tierney Plumb

"James Beard Award winner Michael Mina doubles down on D.C. with a coastal Italian “dinner party” in City Ridge, showcasing house-made pastas, vibrant crudos, grilled seafood (striped bass, black bass, Maine lobster), and char-grilled steaks brushed with lambrusco butter. A striking mirrored bar in back pours spritzes and seaside-leaning cocktails like the Capri, a clarified milk punch with bourbon, tomato water, and basil; groups of six or more can opt for coursed spreads." - Tierney Plumb
