Handmade pasta and craft cocktails in an upscale Italian setting
"Known for slow-dried, bronze-die-extruded pastas, this pasta subscription will send your recipient six boxes of beautifully made pasta once a quarter for the next year; each box includes six different varieties, including lacy reginetti, sauce-grabbing radiatore, and specialty pastas made with heirloom grains. A half-year option is also offered." - Amy McCarthy
"This attractive, cheery trattoria offers plenty of style, with its working pasta station and a whimsical portrait of Sophia Loren. “Sfoglina” refers to the matriarchs who traditionally hand-made fresh pasta, and appropriately the menu features an assortment of such from various regions of Italy. From Emilia-Romagna, green tortelloni are folded around a rich, tender filling of braised pork ribs, doused with rosemary-loaded cream sauce, and from Le Marche, ravioli are filled with herbed goat cheese; there are also a number of dried pastas, as in Rome’s famous carbonara, featuring bucatini dudded up with the requisite guanciale, pecorino, and black pepper. Diners with an appetite can opt to do a tasting of three different pastas for a miniature personalized tour of Italy." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s casual pasta house makes a light and delicate cannoli (one for $9, two for $16, three for $24) at its Rosslyn, Van Ness, and downtown locations. It’s filled with sheep’s milk ricotta crema and garnished with candied orange, powdered sugar, Bronte pistachio, and cherry topper." - Tierney Plumb
"The negroni comes in three variations at Fabio Trabocchi’s relaxed pasta house. The classic is made with Bluecoat gin, while the Island variety swaps in overproof Jamaican rum. A more refined European twist features Hayman’s Old Tom gin, Select Aperitivo and fino sherry. Glitzy Georgetown sister Fiola Mare serves a pair of reliable negronis, too." - Travis Mitchell
"Give Thanksgiving an Italian spin with Sfoglina’s Tuscan rolls and handmade pappardelle ragout. Save room for roasted turkey with cornbread stuffing and some pecan or pumpkin pie. Both dine-in and takeout options ($180 for two) are now available for booking." - Travis Mitchell
