A timeless Italian culinary experience for this moment.
Glittering chandeliers float below wooden farm beams. Wisps of fragrant smoke linger inside a gold-plated pizza oven. Sumptuous fabrics meet impeccable ingredients.
This is L’Ardente, the latest hospitality venture from the award-winning team behind Unconventional Diner. The restaurant reflects the glorious contrasts of Italy itself: haute yet simple; glam yet rustic; indulgent yet restrained. Above all, it’s a destination DC deserves right now, a Mediterranean balm in the heart of the capital.
Our culinary team has created a celebratory menu to help you say "ciao" to 2024—and "salute" to 2025! Mix and match these items individually with dishes from our à la carte dinner menu—or order the full tasting menu for $140 (+$75 for wine pairings).
We can't wait to celebrate with you!
