"It’s natural to wonder if some award-winning restaurants are worth the hype (and the price tag) but at Fiola, there’s no need for second guessing. Steps away from the Washington monument, the restaurant is decked out in white table cloths, gleaming silverware, and handwritten notes welcoming you to the table. The attention to detail creates the perfect setting for a special occasion or a dinner where you’re looking to impress. There are three tasting menus, but the five-course Tradition is our go-to. Begin with a caviar and ricotta appetizer before moving onto the gnocchi al burro e formaggio, and end the night with the tartufo calabrese." - omnia saed, allison robicelli, mekita rivas
"Restaurateur Fabio Trabocchi’s flagship Italian restaurant has one star. The power dining spot offers five-course ($225-$255), nine-course ($285-$315), and a la carte menus starring products from Chancellors Rock Farm in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Make a reservation or order to-go via Tock." - Emily Venezky
"Fiola caters to those looking for upscale Italian cuisine, offering various dining options. Its popular Sunday brunch features dishes like lemon ricotta pancakes and fettuccini carbonara, with an option for bottomless servings. On weekdays, the restaurant offers a prix fixe lunch menu for $35, which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Happy hour lasts until 7 p.m., followed by dinner service from 5:30 p.m. until closing. With an extensive wine list, finding the perfect pairing is easy, and guests are encouraged to save space for dessert." - Laine Doss
"Steps away from the Washington Monument, Fiola is decked out in white tablecloths, gleaming silverware, and handwritten notes welcoming you to the table. It’s a great setting for a special occasion or a dinner where you’re looking to impress. There are three tasting menus at the Italian spot, but the $225 five-course option called “The Tradition” is our go-to. The menu rotates, but imagine a night with a rich caviar and ricotta appetizer, followed by a succulent lobster and toro pasta, all topped off with vanilla and pear panna cotta that will have you booking your next reservation before you leave the table." - tristiana hinton
"Miami Spice was made for places like Fiola. This Italian restaurant in the Gables is usually going to cost you a lot. But the $35 lunch menu is filled with refreshing appetizers like peach gazpacho, zucchini carpaccio, cobia ceviche, and watermelon salad. Plus, six different entree choices like branzino, lumachine cacio e pepe, and chicken parmigiana. The dinner menu is more robust than we expected too, but lunch feels like the better deal." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
