DC Restaurant Week: August 16-21, 2022

 It’s Time to Come to the Table!  

Eating together helps build understanding and strengthens the bond between us. It can foster an exchange of ideas, break down prejudices and connect us on a most basic human level. This is something Italians have recognized for centuries. At the table sharing, reaching, pouring wine and eating food thoughtfully prepared, links us to who we are and develops empathy for others. Oh, how we’ve missed breaking bread together!
