Oh hey!
Did you know what this week is?? RESTAURANT WEEK! DC holds a Restaurant Week twice a year and let’s be honest, they’re my two favorite weeks of the year 
. A delicious 3-course lunch or dinner from any participating restaurant for $20.10 and $35.10 respectively. Compared to what you’d pay for 3 courses on a regular day it is quite good! So it’s the perfect opportunity to dive into some places that are not usually so affordable.
This time around I have three plans to enjoy the week’s hot deals:
- Today’s Lunch – Bibiana with my work friendies
- Tomorrow’s Supper – PS 7′s with my roomies
- Sunday’s Supper – Acadiana with my high school friend Jackie
Let’s talk about today. I’ve been to Bibiana twice before and it really is delicious. So I never mind the opportunity to go back!
PRIMI: Suppli al Telefono – Rice Fritter, with Peas, Ham, Mozzarella. Tomato Sauce
This was my fave of the day. Once I broke into that yummy little ball, it was filled with warm rice, gooey cheese, ham and peas. The cheese and sauce were kept to a minimum, allowing all the different flavors to shine through. Often Italian food is so heavy on the cheese and sauce that’s all you can taste! This was gorgeous.
SECONDI: Agnolotti - Sheeps Milk Ricotta Filled Agnolotti, Marjoram, Lemon, Spinach
This was also delish, although the lemon was a touch strong for my taste. I think the flavor may have come from the zest? It was quite potent.
DOLCI: Zuppa Inglese – Peach Soaked Cake, Peach Pastry Cream, Macerated Fresh Peaches, Caramelized Meringue
I liked the caramelized meringue the best – tasted like a toasted marshmallow!
So there you have it. Bibiana is consistently good and this meal was no exception. Certainly makes for a nice break in the work day!
See you tomorrow bloggies.

i love restaurant weeks! the dessert looks insane!
I came across restaurant week at lunch today too! It was a complete surprise, since I didn’t know they offered it at lunch. I got the most amazing fig, caramelized onion and arugula pizza. I think I’m starting to like this city.
DC restaurant week is the best! I’ve always wanted to try Bibiana! I need to convince my hubby to take me
Ah restaurant week! Chicago has them, too. ANd I never realize they’re happening until the week of… I should really plan better… lol
Agnolotti looks amazing!
You are quite the socialite, Miss Beth!! I love it!
I’m needing a dessert like that. Hmmmmm…….what do you think the odds are for my husband to make me something…..? Probably not good.
oh…. it’s restaurant week in DC? how did I miss it? You’re soooo booked!!! Is there any possibility of squeezing another meal?
aw, I’d love to but I feel like 3 is as much as my waistline and wallet can take! we should totally plan something for next week though, if you like
.
You always have the best eats girl! Cheese is always my main complaint when I go out for Italian. Most of the time my meal is swimming in it. So nice to see a place that doesn’t do that.
wow what a great meal!!!
sure! let’s do something next week! I have a lot of groupons to use!
Perfect! I’m in
