After straight killing it on Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars, the Zaytinya veteran's first solo concept is a raw, "no-frills", inventive Italian eatery with a cinderblock bar downstairs, plus a top floor rocking wood booths and a cured meat station called the "Ham Bar" -- also the only public place where it's OK for you to grab her two pig 'tails. The "anything but traditional Italian fare" starts in the wood oven with king crab legs paired w/sea urchin and guanciale, a roasted potato gnocchi w/ braised pork shank, and pizzas like the cherry pepper aioli/ provolone/fried calamari "Jersey Shore", ironically named for a cast not allowed in Italian restaurants, inventive or otherwise. Boot bubbles come from the only tap of Prosecco in DC, plus there's craft cocktails like the Gin & Juice Tonic (strikethrough theirs) w/ lime-quinine ice cubes, and the Virginia is for Lovers made with gin, wine, and aperol, so apparently it's also for lovers of drinking.
