“In the front lounge, we could linger for hours over spiced-pear-and-vodka cocktails and tiny snacks such as roasted dates with pancetta, crisp arancini with tomato sauce, and buffalo-milk ricotta done up with rose honey and almonds.” – Washingtonian Magazine (January 2011)
“The secret to all good cooking is care, and that’s what Stefanelli delivers, whether in the form of grilled Mediterranean sardines or cavatelli grano arso (burned grain) with fennel sausage, broccoli rabe, and chile.
