Spasso

Editorial Review

Homey Italian spot from a Choptank peep takes on Alfama's former corner. Comfy interior with long marble bar, white walls, chef's table angled off the kitchen. Former Lupa and Convivio chef has "fun" with updated old country menu. Housemade ricotta and stracciatella, scallop crudo with blood orange and smoked paprika. Arctic char for two and a glass of house vino makes for a great affordable date.
