Wine and restaurant reviews
Saturday night Gabriele and I had a very enjoyable experience at Evo Bistro in Mclean. It describes itself as a “tapas and wine tasting bar” and was recommended by a friend. Here’s the Post’s take from last November: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/21/AR2007112100830.html It was clear something was up as soon as we arrived.

Last night Gabriele and I had dinner at 2 Amy’s. It’s a well known place in NW Washington but one neither of us had been to previously. We’re big Pizzeria Paradiso fans and that’s where we head when in the mood for top notch pizza. We still are, but 2 Amy’s is excellent as well. It’s […]

Kinkead’s has long been one of DC’s best restaurants for seafood, and the Washingtonian restaurant was ranked #9 in last month’s Washingtonian magazine. I hadn’t been there in years, so Gabriele and I decided to to see for ourselves last night. We had a terrific dining experience. The atmosphere, service and food were all first rate. […]
Hello and thank you for visiting! Let’s get right to it with the first post. Last night my wife Gabriele and I had a very nice dinner at Bonefish, in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria. We went a little on the late side to avoid a wait — no dice, packed and they estimated 60 minute wait. Luckily there was […]
