Graffiato
Graffiato Review
Mike Isabella brought a rock-star cool to his stint on "Top Chef," and his venture down I-95 gave the same instant pizzazz to Washington's often-staid culinary scene. Everyone does wood-fired pizzas, but Graffiato (the Italian word for "scratched," an excellent summary of its artful-grunge ambience) does a Jersey Shore pie inspired by Isabella's home state that piles pink cherry-pepper aioli onto fried calamari. Everyone does cheese plates, but Graffiato kicks theirs up with house-made dulce de leche-garlic jam that's so good you'll beg to take a jar home. The good news is that you can; the better news is that this TV name lives up to the hype. Just don't expect to hear much over the Bon Jovi that keeps the party going during prime dinner hours.
