This Italian eatery in the heart of Dupont Circle offers a great selection of traditional Italian dishes in a modern, yet cozy, setting. The dark wood decor and an open-fire oven, where the pizzas are baked, give the restaurant a European feel. A loft above the bar offers extra seating and is usually filled on weekend nights. Order Penne Cappe Sante (pasta with scallops, basil and garlic), Pizza Mediterania (with eggplant and lamb sausage) or a variety of other entrees. Salads and appetizers reflect the Italian flair of the restaurant's cooks.
