Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Many diners walking into East End's shiny Capitol Crossing development already know what they’re ordering. Chef David Deshaies' 40-layer lasagna has captivated the city’s attention and rightfully so. Tender short rib, truffled mornay, and razor-thin sheets of pasta make for a delicious trinity that tastes as good as it looks.
With soaring ceilings and windows to match, this Italian kitchen has plenty more to offer. A wood-burning grill and pizza oven allude to its other strengths—sit at the counter to watch them fly out. Bucatini cacio e pepe or gnocchi with meaty lamb ragu are just a few of the dishes that satisfy. Do save room for dessert, especially the seasoned lime mousse with black currant sauce.
