Spork and Knife

It’s Wednesday folks, and after reading the first few lines of my favorite morning chat I felt the need to pass along some VERY interesting and much anticipated information about a recently closed Logan Circle restaurant and it’s new inhabitants.

The space formerly occupied by Viridian, a simple-American cuisine restaurant, will soon be taken over by…

…the owner of Ristorante Tosca. Why is this news music to my ears?? As someone who has Italian in their heritage and grew up eating fresh pasta I hold the cuisine to a high standard. A trained monkey can boil a pot of noodles and slap on some sauce, but it takes real finesse to produce a flavorful handmade pasta.

One of the few restaurants to have accomplished this feat…you guessed it - Tosca. ( Notice I said one, NOT the only.)

According to Tom Sietsema, the space is planned for a casual Northern Italian trattoria.

Happy Wednesday to you all!
