We dined a I Ricchi on Christmas Eve. The promise of a lovely l and festive ambience, outstanding food, and impeccable service was delivered. Unfortunately, we were originally placed at a small wobbly table in a tight corner, too cozy with the folks at the table behind us and a plant touching the back of my head. Upon our request we were immediately moved to a more comfortable spot. Expensive, but definitely worth it for an evening of fine dining.

Eccellente! An absoluely fabulous dining experience. The general decor made me feel as though I was dining in a garden villa. The holiday decorations were a festive touch. Service was impeccable. I shared the insalatini and branzino. Both were memorably flavorful as well as filling. I visit from the West Coast frequently and will make this a must do dining experience when I come to DC.
