My DC Trip Wasn't Complete Until I Tried This Pasta! đ
đ Name: L'Ardente đ Address: 200 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001 âł Reservation highly recommended! This is one of the spots we had bookmarked even before coming to DC~ The teaser I posted earlier was about this place! Since we couldnât snag a dinner reservation, we ended up going for brunch instead. And the verdict? Absolutely fantasticâit totally lived up to our high expectations! đ Highlights: â¤ď¸ ăSimplicity & Perfectionă If thereâs one thing I want to emphasize about this restaurant, itâs this: they master the basics flawlessly! Looking back at everything we ordered, nothing was overly fancy or unusualâno extravagant ingredients, just incredible taste and texture that make you go, âWow, this is so good!â ⨠Whatâs the best âsimple but perfectâ dish youâve ever had? đŠ Italian Donut Filled with hazelnut custardâso aromatic, and the donut itself was delightfully chewy. Highly recommend! Are you a fan of filled donuts? Sweet or savory? đ Carbonara This is a brunch-exclusive item (not on the dinner menu!) and a must-order! Carbonara is already an egg-forward pasta, but their version takes it to another level with the rich, creamy yolk flavor. The runny egg in the middle is a total game-changer! đĽđ Do you prefer classic pasta dishes or modern twists? đ Lamb Pizza Seriously, even a simple pizza is done exceptionally well hereâperfectly baked and full of flavor! Whatâs your favorite pizza topping? đ° Tiramisu The flambeed tiramisu was a bit fancy and dramaticâfun for the 'gram! đĽđ¸ Do you like classic desserts or ones with a show? The only regret was not getting a dinner reservation to try their famous lasagnaânext time, DC, next time! Have you tried their dinner menu?
