$-$$, Italian, U Street corridor
Fodor's Review:
Coppi's Organic Restaurant. An Italian bicycling motif permeates this restaurant, from the posters, photographs, and gear hanging on the walls to the monogrammed racing shirts worn by the staff. The wood oven-baked pizzas are always good, but the frequently changing menu also includes antipasto, fresh pastas, meat, and fish -- all made with organic ingredients. Look for items such as asparagus, English peas, and favas gently sautéed with butter and mint, or pastas such as gnocchi with black-truffle pesto, and trenette with porcini and strip steak. For dessert, there's biscotti made in the brick oven and a sweet calzone filled with Nutella.
