I got the chance to visit Lupo Verde Osteria for brunch a few months ago, and the first word that came to mind when I opened the door was adorable!
I love the thought that went into this dessert. It includes a very light, cool vanilla bean soup with torched Italian meringue, slowly toasted almond slices, caramel slivers and edible gold leaf.

ILupo Verde Osteria Announces Nightly Specials, Including Family Supper Sundays & Happy Mondays

On the restaurant menus of the last decade, charcuterie and cheese boards have become nearly as ubiquitous as beet salad and butternut-squash soup. But how many places have whole rooms devoted to the stuff? Here, a glassed-in nook puts forth lavish spreads of Italian imports and house-cured prosciutto, and also does take-home orders of meats and cheese.
Our favorite casual joints, celebration spots, and unexpected surprises.
Lupo Verde
1401 T St. NW
An entire room devoted to Italian charcuterie and cheeses is one of the many draws at this charming 14th Street newcomer. Drop by the warmly lit bar for a board of salumi e formaggi and excellent cocktails made with Italian liqueurs, or head upstairs to the brick-walled dining room for craveable cacio e pepe pasta.
