Description
When Michael White left this Soho Italian standby, D.C. toque Fabio Trabocchi took over, and his decadent, almost French fare has set him apart. The redesign by Jeffrey Beers is a bit ho-hum (the chocolate, gold and burgundy decor reminded us of a steakhouse), but the food is considerably more interesting. We relished a beautiful bucatini that paired rare shrimp with shimmering sardines, and a rich pheasant entrée with pancetta, golden raisins and savoy cabbage. Meals are served only as three-, five- or seven-course prix fixes ($89–$125), so come with an expense account.
