Casolare

Washington DC

Italian Restaurant

$$$$

Helmed by award-winning restaurateur Michael Schlow (Conosci, Alta Strada), Casolare serves a seafood-centric menu of time-honored Italian fare like grilled octopus, house-made pasta with clams, and branzino with roasted tomatoes, olives, and capers. The menu has Schlow's signature touch of elegant simplicity, with dishes that simultaneously comfort and impress. Beyond seafood, the baked eggplant appetizer, featuring layers of fried eggplant, cheese, and tomato sauce, is a must-try.
