Il Canale, Georgetown

It is really challenging to grab hold of the notion that Il Canale is owned by the proprietor of Joe’s Place Pizza and Pasta. The only plausible scenario I can think of is that Giuseppe “Joe” Farruggio made his fortune, and … Continue reading

2 Amys, Cathedral Heights

As many dozens of times as I’ve been to 2 Amys, I don’t ever remember having gone for Sunday brunch. Nothing’s really different because their special brunch items are limited to a donut, a bagel, and a croissant. The place … Continue reading

Pupatella, Arlington, VA

(See January 13, 2011 Review here). There’s really not much more to say about Pupatella whose co-owner, Enzo Algarme, celebrated a birthday early last week. I’ve been there a million times, and have yet to see him not working. On … Continue reading
