Upscale Italian restaurant serving rustic food & creative cocktails
"With stone walls, seasonal arrangements and Warhol-esque prints, this DC powerhouse is equal parts retro glitz and country lodge. Before even crossing the threshold, diners are met by gracious servers. While they may rhapsodize about their favorite dishes, take your time to peruse the menu, complete with stunning creations and playful twists. Classic and modern elements come together in the regional Italian food, which is as likely to celebrate Roman inspiration as it is to represent Venetian flavors. Cubetto Genovese D'Antra, or delightful squares stuffed with shredded duck ragu and sauced with a duck jus reduction, is a memorable dish. Lamb with red pepper gel and eggplant caponata is another standout." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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
