The vibe

Long-standing Navy Yard anchor from the Altamarea Group; sister to Cucina Morini (2024 Michelin Guide inclusion, and chef Matthew Adler is a 2026 James Beard Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic semifinalist). Beloved for handmade Northern Italian pastas. Eater DC featured the restaurant's menu refresh in Nov 2024. Waterfront happy hour at a white-tablecloth Italian institution with a connected chef nominated for James Beard; the $7-til-7 window is one of the best values in the neighborhood for a restaurant of this caliber.
