Tosca
Tosca Review
Chef Cesare Lanfranconi spent several years in the kitchen at Galileo, Washington's dearly departed favorite Italian restaurant, before starting the sleek, sophisticated Tosca with restaurateur Paolo Sacco. The food draws heavily from Lanfranconi's native Lake Como region, but isn't limited by it. Standouts have included polenta topped with wild mushrooms, and tasty ravioli stuffed with ricotta and crushed amaretto cookies. Save room for dessert, particularly the chef's version of tiramisu, served in a martini glass, and take advantage of the pretheater menu between 5:30 and 7 pm.
