Cafe Milano is a hub for the crème-de-la-crème of Washington’s elite; this venue has been serving fine Italian food to diplomats, journalists, lobbyists, and other upper crusters in the city for more than twenty years. Proprietor Franco Nuschese has created a venue that offers the best in Italian cuisine from the country’s southern coast in a setting with the aura of a street-side Milan café. Decorative elements celebrate the restaurant’s Italian roots, and a large patio space opens in the summer months. This atmosphere of sophistication is reflected in the exquisite items offered on the café’s lunch, dinner, and brunch menus.
