Of the many secrets that the Italian fine restaurant Café Milano cherishes after serving heads of state and celebrities for 25 years one is probably the closest to its mission: choosing the best authentic ingredients for simple but unforgettable dinners. We are very fortunate.

We try hard every day, because this business is about quality and passion, Café Milano owner Franco Nuschese told Italianfood.net on the occasion of the anniversary of the restaurant. Nuschese, who emigrated to the United States from the southern Italian village of Minori when he was a young man, has become the ambassador of Italian taste in Washington DC.
