[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is moving to NYC -- and she said she couldn't find a good Italian restaurant there...where did you go?

In Georgetown, we like Ristorante Piccolo and Paper Moon across the street. Both have good food. We also like I Ricchi in Dupont Circle. I don't know suburban restaurents here sorry.[/quote]

She can't find good Italian in NYC, and yet you think Piccolo and Paper Moon are good?  I don't even know where to begin.  Your perception of what is "good" Italian food is completely backwards.  Piccolo and Paper Moon are horrific tourist-trap fleabags - perhaps the only worse Italian food in DC is found at the execrable Filomena's. Seriously, people, it's not 1995 anymore.  [b](On a broader note, you can count the good restaurants in Georgetown on one hand, with fingers left over.)  [/b]

OP, sadly, there's very little good Italian in DC.  Dino's is fine, and I remember liking Notte Benne in Foggy Bottom years ago - don't know if it's still good.  Palena is high-end and very good, Palena Cafe is casual and very good as well. And the newish Maple in Columbia Heights is good (though it has a small menu).  [/quote]

Why is this the case?  I am almost always disappointed when I eat out in Georgetown. [/quote]
