Right in DC.
My new favorite restaurant is woman owned. Women's ownership rocks. Especially when teamed with a new celebrity chef who is bona fide Italian from Tuscany with recipes that are traditional and expressively italian at the same time. i Ricchi is on 19th Street between M and N, NW. The owner who is attractive enough to be the next food channel star has had a long tradition cooking Tuscan from her italian mother in law and lived in italy for a few decades before owning her own DC eatery.
Just for starters try the new Tuscan chef's hors d'oevres of dates covered in goat cheese drizzled in honey, or salmon mouse crustini or homemade mozzarella on basil, tomato and drizzled with olive oil.
Tuesdays tend to be half priced for females dining. You have to try it. The ambiance is decidedly italian country freshness, elegant and tasteful. No one paid me to say this- it's one of the happiest hours in the Dupont area.
