"Thanks to its neon-green sign and inevitable line, you'll spot Rose's Luxury from across the street. Chef Aaron Silverman has made a huge impact on the D.C. food scene since the restaurant opened in Barracks Row in 2013; his lychee salad with pork sausage, habanero, and peanuts is officially one of the city's cult classics."

"Chef/owner Aaron Silverman's farmhouse restaurant, in the heart of Barracks Row, serves creative (and Michelin-starred) cooking inspired by his travels and culinary training in the American South, Mexico, the Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia...."

"When chef Fabio Trabocchi opened Fiola in 2011, he quickly established his new trattoria as the place to go in Washington for exquisite, sumptuous Italian. Pastas, naturally, are the stars of the menu, especially the tender pappardelle with bolognese ragu. But seafood plays a strong supporting role, and the bar offers a serious cocktail menu, including six different variations on the negroni."

"Located in Downtown, Fiola is the first creation of Maria and Fabio Trabocchi’s trifecta of restaurants. Their raw seafood dishes, referred to as ‘Italian sushi,’ and pasta dishes topped with truffles or lobster are must-trys. They also have creative takes on classic dishes like the prosciutto-wrapped veal chop."

Every night at 10 p.m., a loud bell rings, signaling the availability of the night’s special late-night entrée—a $12 dish featuring items from the kitchen staff’s meal, like fried chicken, meat loaf or pupusas. In an homage to DC’s past, the restaurant’s walls are lined with sepia-toned photographs of the city from the 1930s and ’40s."

Tortino presents a menu of modern Italian cuisine perfected by Chef Noé Canales, who began his love affair with Italian food in 1991 as he ventured to the country to learn more about its culinary tradition. The menu includes simple, fine dishes composed of just a few ingredients that have been combined to perfectly draw out their natural flavors."

"At this Logan Circle haunt, the dining rooms feels like a little trattoria that would be found in Italy. Fresh pastas, meat, seafood, and daily specials are all on-point here. Nothing is super fancy, but Tortino is comfortable and quaint."

"This low-key, reliable restaurant in Logan Circle offers pastas such as lamb ravioli and saffron taglierini with scallops and calamari."

"In addition to everything you require out of a coffee shop—great natural light, comfortable seating and WiFi—this spot also offers chill music and a fun food menu. You wouldn't expect a coffee joint to serve sausages and sauerkraut, but they do, and even serve it on Vietnamese baguette bread. You don't need a reservation here but expect a bit of a wait if you go during peak lunch hours since many customers flock for the food as much as the beans."
