Ghibellina, 14UP
(See the July 20, 2014, Review here.) What’s interesting if that I have some very knowledgeable diners agreeing with me about the pizza, and others basically saying that I’m crazy – that it’s okay, but not even close to being … Continue reading
Ghibellina, 14UP
(See the March 12, 2014, Review here.) I had a friend in town, and went to Ghibellina to try their world-beating pizza, perhaps the best in all of Washington, DC right now. After waiting for awhile, she had a San … Continue reading

Lupo Verde, 14UP
You could have knocked me over with a feather. After an excellent meal at Ghibellina, I was strongly swayed that there may be a new king of the 14th Street Shuffle (the Dining Guide Shuffle, that is). Further proof that DC’s Italian … Continue reading
Ghibellina, 14UP
(See the July 26, 2013, Review here.) Ghibellina seems to always be crowded, and justifiably so. The other evening, I was able to get the last bar seat, and had a fantastic dinner. This is not at all specific to … Continue reading
The Liberty Tavern, Clarendon
This is the first full meal I’ve had at The Liberty Tavern since Chef de Cuisine Miljohn Dimaano replaced Liam LaCivita (Matt Hill, who recently left Range, has assumed the Executive Chef role for this restaurant group – which includes … Continue reading

Famous Luigi’s, Downtown
(See the January 9, 2011 Review here.) This may sound a bit daft, but after my tuna-based meal at Smith and Wollensky last night, I wanted a bit of cheese, but didn’t feel like running my tab beyond three digits. … Continue reading

Baronessa, Rockville, MD
After winding my freshly tuned car through the backroads of northern Montgomery County, I cut over on Route 28, stopping in for a late lunch at Baronessa. There was only one other diner in the restaurant, who ordered the Melanzane alla Parmigiana, and … Continue reading
Rafagino, Burke, VA
On a very slow, cold, rainy night on a Columbus Day Sunday, Rafagino was fairly empty with only a few tables taken, but the suave owner, Paulo Carvalho, greeted the trickling of patrons by the door, just as he has done for … Continue reading
