In Georgetown- Il Canale

Proving once again that Fine Italian Cuisine is a great way to bond families, il Canale restaurant on the Georgetown old canalfront has spectacular authentic cuisine from southern italy. The owner Giuseppe "Joe" Farrruggio, originally from Sicilly, brought in a team of guys from Naples to construct their genuine napolitain pizza oven which cranks out the best pizza and foccaccio bread in DC and pretty much anywhere. I had the linguini with white clam sauce which was spectacular. Joe treated us to a selection of antipastas which featured wonderful grilled eggplant, proscuitto with sliced melon foccaccio, and desert was a tray of mixed delights like tiramisu, cheese cakes, chocolate cakes and gelatos. Upstairs is a roof deck with a view of the canal dottted this time of the year with pink flowers. His collection of modern art brightens up the walls. In official rankings it has in the Zagat guide or some similar review four stars -which Philomena has and they are the only four stars in Georgetown. For a date night, or a fun family gathering, they will make an evening memorable. Ask Joe to show you his best Sicilian wine. We had a great time-Molto Grazie! thanks Joe! http://www.ilcanaledc.com/
