When the mood for pasta strikes in D.C., options are plentiful. Some are neighborhood favorites, and others count Michelin stars. That doesn’t worry restaurateur Danny Meyer, who debuted his first full-service Washington restaurant last week with Maialino Mare in Navy Yard.
“I feel like with Italian food, there’s never enough,” says Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, which operates some of New York’s most iconic restaurants, including Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe. He’s also founder of the Shake Shack burger chain.
