4. Luca d'Italia

CAPITOL HILL.   Traditionally-prepared, rustic Italian fare is served with care amid a distinctly modernist aesthetic that boasts bright blocks of wall color. Even so, the focus is unquestionably on the melt-in-your-mouth cuisine. If you don't opt for the tasting menu, try fried mozzarella with lemon aioli as a starter, followed by either a first course of pasta (spicy lobster fra diavolo is recommended) or an entree like parmesan potato-crusted sole or Colorado lamb braciole with goat cheese polenta. Desserts maintain the high standards with concoctions like primacoccia olive oil cake with grilled peaches and lemon gelato.   (© 10Best)

This intimate restaurant serves authentic Italian food with many homemade ingredients. The rigatoni Undici has mouthwatering homemade sausage. The menu is creative, with many familiar favorites, and the wine list is impressive. Desserts, espresso, cappucino -- everything we had was delicious. The waiters are knowledgeable and gracious and the host visits every table. The atmosphere is relaxing and you don't feel like you are eating in the middle of a noisy hall like some other Italian restaurant chains, which shall remain nameless. Being Italian, we are very picky about Italian food. We highly recommend this restaurant.
