This is a serious Northern Italian spot that is blessed to have a truly great chef in the kitchen in Chef Massimo Fabbri. In terms of Italian cuisine, this might be as good as it gets, and that is saying something in a great restaurant destination like DC. Think about his extrordinary dinner entree such as Controfiletto di manzo Angus alla griglia con radicchio Trevisano, spinaci cremosi e salsa al Barbaresco e fegato grasso (roasted prime N.Y. strip with balsamic baked trevisan radicchio, creamed spinach “Tosca style” and Barbaresco-foie gras sauce). Or his Branzino del Mediterraneo con zabaglione all’aceto balsamico e spinaci ai pinoli ed uvette (roasted Mediterranean sea bass with a balsamic vinegar sabajon and sautéed spinach with pine nuts and raisins). Tosca is an amazing spot!
