We planned our day out so that we could have lunch at Graffiato, a restaurant owned by Mike Isabella, one of the more successful Top Chef Contestants. His restaurant is located in China town area and we took Metro from where we were, Smithsonian and walked maybe a couple of blocks to find the restaurants. For lunch, we were able to get a table for three without any reservations. I think it will be more challenging to get seat for dinner.
We opted for the salad with cream cheese croutons, sounding good and interesting and it was something we never had before. All dishes come in small plates and we shared each of them and got the experience in tasting all we had that day.
The pasta that we had was Hand Cut Spaghetti, served with olive oil poached cherry tomatoes and basil. Spaghetti is never my thing, but for the sake of trying, I had some. I am still alive!
We also had their Crispy Potato Gnocchi with mushrooms. Delicious.
Finally, came the two pizzas that we ordered. The above is called Jersey Shore, it was topped with fried calamari. The one below is American Pie with Prosciutto. The crust was especially lovable!
By then, we were actually quite stuffed but I felt the need to try their dessert as I had no idea when I would be back in DC again. We picked Chocolate Tart with Sea Salt Gelato. We were considerably happy with the food and the service. It's a place that we do not mind to return to in the future.
