A couple foodie links for you this dreary afternoon...
Chef Roberto Donna is planning to reopen Galileo, the formal Italian restaurant he ran in D.C. for more than two decades. He anticipates signing a lease in the near future for the space vacated earlier this year by Butterfield 9 at 600 14th St. NW. Unfortunately, I never made it to the original Galileo, but heard it was fabulous. There are a shortage of great Italian restaurants in D.C., so this is a welcomed return! For more info, click here.
Secondly, according to the Washington Business Journal, D.C. Restaurant Week is being pushed to February due to the presidential inauguration. Big surprise on this one. (Why offer local diners a discount when the anticipated gabillions of out-of-towners about to descend on the city will be glad to pay full price during that time?) No date has been set yet for February -- will keep you posted. As a final point of interest, Alexandria plans to hold its own Restaurant Week in conjunction with inauguration, Jan. 17 - 25, with 30 local restaurants participating.
