Casa Nonna


Goodbye California Pizza Kitchen (or as most call it, CPK), and hello Casa Nonna! The New York-based BLT Restaurants brand has done it again in Washington. Casa Nonna joins BLT Steak downtown and the forthcoming BLT Burger (at 1317 Connecticut Ave. NW), opening this spring. Casa Nonna, which is a block south at 1250 Connecticut Ave. NW, features menu items such as antipasti, pizza and pasta. The dinner menu includes small plates, sliced meats (charcuterie) and cheeses, wood oven pizza, salads, and family-style portions of italian classics like spaghetti pomodoro, linguine with clams, fettuccine, ravioli and lasagne.
Don't want to wait for a table? Saddle up to the bar and order a cocktail and a few small plates. The risotto balls are delicious! So are the pickled beets and fried calamari.

Casa Nonna is open Mon-Thurs from 11:30am (lunch) - 11pm (dinner); Friday from 11:30a-11:30p, Saturday from 5:30p (dinner) - 11:30p, and Sunday from 4p-10p.
