Cacciucco Fish Stew.
On Friday I ventured to a neighborhood spot for the very first time. La Tavola Trattoria in Virginia Highlands proved a very pleasant dining experience. I especially enjoyed the outdoor patio dining in back, the cool cocktail I tried (below) and the fish stew, pictured above. The tagliatelle with mushrooms and the grilled calamari were also excellent, although the calamari contained more beans and cauliflower than actual squid! I didn't try any dessert here - see cupcake post below, but I would definitely like to come back here to try the dessert and the brunch menu.

OK, now I am craving that tagliatelle!
I'm always concerned about parking at La Tavola on a weekend...where do you park? I've been wanting to try it forever!!!! The husband and I headed to Wan Lei(Blissful Glutton rec)on Buford Saturday night and it was fantastic...a must-add to your list:-)
I park on the street, even if I have to go a few blocks away. On Friday I parked on Highland, just about a block north of the VaHi corner. I usually avoid paid parking and valets if there's a choice! Thanks for the tip on Wan Lei. I'll have to try it soon :)
