if you're ever in dc, go to acqua al 2

when our friends, karen and roger, and their little one harrison, visited us from new york over the fourth of july break, they took us to acqua al 2 in washington d.c. {yes, you read that right. they visited us and took us out to a dc eatery. ha.}

but, there is a story to this. 

when they were on their honeymoon, they came across the most finest tasting dining experience in florence, acqua al 2. they loved it so much and were delighted to find out that they a restaurant in washington d.c. (the other international opening is in san diego, california). they wanted us to taste the magic and so off we went. 

we had their samplers of salads, pasta and steaks and it was *so* unbelievably good. everything was so savory and just our style. and another great part to acqua al 2? it's located right in eastern market, one of our favorite places in dc. 

so if you're ever around the area, you might want to consider dining here for a little florentine experience.
