Eccellente! An absoluely fabulous dining experience. The general decor made me feel as though I was dining in a garden villa. The holiday decorations were a festive touch. Service was impeccable. I shared the insalatini and branzino. Both were memorably flavorful as well as filling. I visit from the West Coast frequently and will make this a must do dining experience when I come to DC.
