Nicoletta Italian Kitchen is a new dining option in Mount Vernon Triangle that marries an upscale Italian menu with the feel of a relaxed, neighborhood eatery. To start, try the appetizers like the classic prosciutto and burrata or the double-fried Calabrese hot wings. The rest of the menu includes entrée salads, fresh pasta, and pizza, or you can indulge in favorites like veal Milanese, grilled branzino, or Nicoletta’s signature chicken parmigiana. 

What would an Italian restaurant be without Peroni on draft? Stop in at happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily for $5 Peroni or tap wine and discounts from the snack menu. Once the weekend rolls around, Nicoletta Italian Kitchen is the place for a filling brunch complete with Prosecco-topped cocktails. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, but the floor to ceiling windows and modern, industrial decor make any seat the best one in the house. 

Nicoletta Italian Kitchen is located at the intersection of I and 4^thStreet NW.
