Lupo Verde brings a hip rustic twist to classic Italian dining in DC. The restaurant is a trendy, yet comfortable space with loads of exposed brick and beams, plus a massive 15-seat bar topped with marble and Italian painted tile. While other restaurants attempt to transport diners back onto the piazza or into grandma’s dining room, Lupo Verde is all about urban takes on countryside living. The menu is full of small plates that allow guests to sample a number of the restaurant’s best dishes, and an Italian brunch menu adds to the fun on weekends. The bar also impresses with signature cocktails and homemade liqueurs and vermouths.
