The Room
Bibiana opened on New York Avenue in Penn Quarter in 2009 — a serious chef-driven Italian dining room. Sixteen years later the room is one of DC's most-considered working-Italian destinations.
The Washington Post has held Bibiana on its top-Italian-restaurant rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The pasta programme is hand-rolled in the kitchen daily. The seasonal-rotating Italian secondi, the antipasti opening, and the chef's tasting at $95 handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme runs Italian-classic. Cocktails are aperitivi-led. Service is informed and warm.
