Washington D.C, chef Fabio Trabocchi has become one of the most successful restaurateurs in one of the country's most increasingly hot food scenes. His Fiola brought elegance and an Italian flair largely missing from the nation's capital. He's gone on to open four other restaurants ranging from the upscale but more casual Casa Luca to the newest, Del Mar, which pays homage to the seafood dishes of his wife Maria's native Spain. On today's episode, Trabocchi goes deep about fine dining as an almost forgotten art, and talks Italian style, cars and of course pasta. You'll want to start planning your next trip to DC; make your next reservation here to check out one of Fabio's restaurants! In Post Bites, chef Michael Solomonov tells us about the opinionated diners of Philadelphia. But first, the news:
