Ah, the beauty of Italian food. It makes an equally great grab-and-go option (pizza!) or fancy sit-down meal. For a classy take on all your Italian favorites, visit newly opened Capa Tosta in Columbia Heights, just moments from The Residences at Eastern Market.

Start with appetizers like crispy artichokes with salsa verde, fennel salad, and arancini studded with mozzarella. But then, the decisions get harder. Do you choose a hand-tossed pan pizza with imported toppings or freshly made pasta in indulgent sauce? Either option makes for a lovely dinner, but Capa Tosta also has meat and cheese samplers plus wines and cocktails from the bar if you simply want to visit for happy hour and a toast to being back to in-person dining. But once you smell margherita pizzas, cacio e pepe pasta, and big bowls of tagliatelle bolognese coming from the kitchen, you’ll be tracking down the hostess to hold a table.

Capa Tosta is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner, and also serves lunch of Italian-style subs and more of their delicious pizza.
