*Two of our favorite Italian restaurants (in fact, the only Italian restaurants), Fiola and Masseria, received one Michelin star in the recently released first Michelin Guide for Washington, DC.  Another favorite restaurant, The Little Inn at Little Washington,  which is a couple of “steps” away from DC, received two stars.  Tom Sietsema, the Washington Post food critic, was not thrilled with the ratings.  But then, it’s always good to have an outsider point of view!
