Casa Nonna's New Tasting Menu Tavola 12 Is An 'Italian Omakase'

WASHINGTON -- Italian restaurant Casa Nonna
is venturing into tasting menu territory with its latest offering,
Tavola 12, a constantly-changing 12-course meal billed as an "Italian omakase."
Omakase,
of course, is a Japanese phrase that roughly translates to "I'll leave
it you." In Japanese restaurants, ordering it means letting the chef
send out a number of small dishes left completely to his choosing.
At Casa Nonna, located near Dupont Circle, it works the same way with
chef Amy Brandwein at the helm. Dishes change on a whim, depending on
the ingredients available and the mood Brandwein is in.
Plan ahead if you want to try the experience out: It's only served at
a 12-seat bar in front of the open kitchen, and then only on Friday and
Saturday. It'll run diners $55 a person, plus $30 with wine pairings.
