From wine dinners to happy hour, Hank’s Pasta Bar has something for everyone. It is located on the north side of Old Town Alexandria, just minutes from D.C. I sat down with Massimo Giannetti, the General Manager, and Chef Thomas Palmer to discuss the overall concept for Hank’s Pasta Bar. 

“We’re known for our fresh pasta and Italian dishes,” Chef Thomas explained. “You can start with our housemade pasta and go from there.” He went on to tell me about Maribel, the lady who has been in that same location through previous ownerships for over 20 years, making the pasta by hand.
