Tracked on 3 lists across 3 authorities, ranked as high as #42.

1906 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20009, USA Website ↗

It's set on busy 14th Street, but beautiful Bresca far from blends in with the crowd. Instead, it mixes the warmth of a neighborhood treasure with the talent of a special occasion spot. Inside, splashes of gold, a living wall crafted from moss and design elements teetering between whimsical and downright surreal, create a contemporary vibe. The cooking is casual yet ambitious, thanks to Chef Ryan Ratino’s cutting-edge credentials. Find a clear sense of artistry in the likes of a foie gras "negroni" topped with Campari gelée or the agreeably priced and perfect pappardelle with lamb ragù. Service is highly professional without a trace of pretense.Cocktails, like The Daulphine St. Punch, may be relished in lieu of dessert.
