"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
"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
"This upscale gem, under the watchful guide of chef Danny Ganem, never fails to impress with execution and flavor. Whether it is the caviar carbonara, made with rye fettuccine, caviar, and dill; Fiola lobster ravioli with ginger, chives, and lobster roe, or the wild boar all’amatriciana with tagliatelle, Calabrian chili, guanciale, and pomodoro, every pasta is a homerun. Can’t decide what to order? Go for the asta omakase, a six-course pasta-tasting menu featuring a sample of chef’s favorites." - Eater Staff
"On Tuesday through Saturday, diners at this upscale Italian can select from dishes like salmon carpaccio, peach gazpacho, and basil Caesar salad for starters. Mains include caccio e pepe, mezze rigatoni alla vodka, pan-roasted branzino, and braised wagyu beef cheeks. Desserts include raspberry panna cotta and chocolate cake terrine. The cost is $60. Pasta lovers can indulge in a Pasta Omakase Tasting Menu for $95 as well." - Alona Martinez
