Ristorante TOSCA

On F Street NW, white-clothed tables fill with politicos and lobbyists conferring over plates of short-rib agnolotti. The kitchen delivers contemporary Italian cooking alongside visually arresting appetizers crafted as much for the eyes as the tongue, backed by an extensive wine list.

The interior pairs artful Italian tilework, warm brass, and a white marble bar with a lounge accented by floral wallpaper, dusty-rose stools, and green leather tiles. For smaller gatherings, the space also includes an exclusive Chef’s Table seating four to six.
