Dine on Italian cuisine at Obelisk. Its homey yet contemporary setting is ideal for dining out with friends or a date. Owners Peter Pastan and Esther Lee show off their culinary skills in creating flavorful dishes for guests to enjoy. Obelisk features a set menu and is open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner services. Guests can indulge in such fare as taglierini with squash blossoms or ravioli with sheep's milk ricotta as starters. A main course could consist of roasted suckling pig or red snapper with Roman artichokes. A scrumptious dessert will finish the meal. Obelisk is nestled just a few blocks west of Dupont Circle on the second floor of a row house. It has an extensive wine list and offers beer with meals. This restaurant welcomes reservations.
