Proving once again that blogging and drinking don't mix, I managed to create my first blog (epi-q.blogsport.com) without having a Google account, which meant I can't edit my first blog. Argh. So now I am starting again with a new blog (aptly named Epi-Q2).
So down to business. In my last post I promised a review of I Ricchi, a Tuscan-style restaurant here in the Washington DC. Leslie and I went there for restaurant week (a fabulous invention) last Wednesday. I Ricchi has gone with August as Restaurant Month, which means the menu of three courses for $30.06 is available all month. My advice? Forget about it. Even at that reduced price, I Ricchi is not really worth it. The wines by the glass are overpriced (between $10 and $13), the risotto was good, but pedestrian, my pork tenderloin was a litttle dry, and the salmon was ok. The one bright spot were the desserts, which were refined and light, but couldn't salvage the night. For $100 for two people including one glass of wine each, you can do a lot better in the nation's capital. And for Italian food here, we still think Notti Bianche (Washington Post review is hyperlinked) is top-notch.
