Thanks for the timely responses and recs. My initial research had me leaning towards
Dino but I wanted to hear from som DC people. So I made a reservation at Dino and am looking forward to it

We'll be in Washington for a few days and I need a rec for a very good Italian for my daughter's 25th birthday Sat. No more tha 75 to 85pp. It doesn't need to be fancy but she wants something more than casual. Any suggestions?
