The neighborhood's newest
restaurant opened in November. Chef Vittorio Testa, formerly of Filomena’s
in Georgetown, has designed this place himself, and it reminds us of eating
at our eccentric Italian uncle’s fancy suburban home. He has decorated this
up-scale ristorante with Venetian glass, shirred curtains, curios
from his personal collection, and a tile version of Botticelli’s "Birth of
Venus." This is definitely not a red checkered tablecloth restaurant, but it
has a lot of familiar Italian dishes on the menu. Off to an impressive
start. |
