Cafe Fiorello’s first foray outside of Manhattan will reactivate a prime downtown D.C. corner that’s sat empty since 2018 (1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW). The NYC fixture, situated across the street from Lincoln Center since 1974, continues to lure theater-goers with its reliable Italian fare and a destination antipasti bar overflowing with vegetables and seafood.
Other familiar favorites making their way down to the nation’s capital include bouncy calamari, creamy rigatoni alla vodka studded with smoky bacon, short rib meatballs over open-faced lasagna, burrata ravioli, dover sole dressed with lemon beurre blanc, beef cuts, veal chops prepared three ways, thin-crust pizzas, and fluffy tiramisu.
