We opened Pizzeria Paradiso so we could make the kind of pizza we longed for but couldn't find in the DC area; the kind of pizza where the crust was the most important part. So we started with a wood-burning, domed, stone oven able to cook at a temperature of 650 degrees. We also wanted our guests to feel like they were being treated to the warmth and comfort of a close friend's home, so we placed the oven at the heart of the restaurant. Next, we developed a dough that would respond to our oven the way we dreamed. We let our dough rise slowly, work it by hand, lightly grace it with the finest quality toppings, finish it with extra virgin olive oil and cook it in our beloved oven. As Phyllis Richman wrote about us, "making great pizza isn't all that difficult. ... All it takes is a commitment to quality. That's what makes the difference at Pizzeria Paradiso."

Chaia
Chaia is an unconventional taco shop serving insanely delicious food made entirely with vegetables. Yes, vegetables. But not just any vegetables. Only the freshest, local (and whenever possible organic) vegetables inventively prepared from scratch, and combined with spices, house-made salsas, and other tasty toppings — all tucked inside a handmade, griddled corn tortilla. Yum!
Iron Gate
Iron Gate has a history dating back to 1923 and has got a new lease of life due to the Neighborhood Restaurant Group. Led by executive chef Anthony Chittum, it is set in the historic carriageway while the lovely courtyard with grapevines and wisteria provide an alluring backdrop for alfresco dining. Their menu is influenced by Greek and Italian styles of cooking. Savor their dishes like Oak Roasted Foraged Mushrooms, Farm Goat Ribs and Iron Gate Mixed Grill. This romantic restaurant also has a fine list of wines and cocktails. It is a great spot for a date or special occasions.
