Bar del Monte
Italian
A vintage toy car holds down the check at this casual Italian restaurant in a former auto shop on Mount Pleasant Street. The menu shifts constantly, but lamb skewers with chili oil and bubble-crusted pizzas stay put, and the gelato arrives piled improbably high. The kitchen's commitment to good ingredients is quiet but obvious. Bon Appétit named it one of America's Best New Restaurants in 2024.

Housemade ricotta ravioli
“We reveled in specials like housemade ricotta ravioli with lamb ragu and tagliolini with butter, sage, and good Parm.”
Washingtonian, 2026 -
Bubble-crusted pizza
“Happily, lamb skewers with chili oil, beautiful greens in anchovy dressing, outrageously good bubble-crusted pizzas, and gelati and sorbetti piled skyscraper-high are an every-night thing.”
Washingtonian, 2026
