Pizza

1. 2 Amys

This is probably the most authentic place you can go in the DC area for pizza - being able to say you've had an Italian government-certified Neopolitan pizza is not a claim most can make after dining...

3. Vapiano

they have a bar, pizza station, pasta station, and salads.  I decided to go with the gorgonzola pasta - it was good, but not the best I've ever had by any means.  The chef who made it was polite...

3. Vapiano

they are two great wines, very different yet both very nice. I would most definitely return here! While there I pondered getting pasta to go....

4. Il Radicchio

a girl, don't buy her dinner at a fancy restaurant. The secret to winning hearts is through the stomach. Next time I go I'll go for the family style pasta.   SEAFOOD = GREAT. Pasta allegedly too....
