Odeon Cafe in the heart of Dupont Circle offers a great selection of traditional Italian dishes in a modern, yet cozy, setting. The dark wood decor and an open-fire oven, where the pizzas are baked, give the restaurant a European feel. A loft above the bar offers extra seating and is usually filled on weekend nights. Order Penne Cappe Sante—pasta with scallops, basil and garlic, Pizza Mediterania—with eggplant and lamb sausage or a variety of other entrees. Salads and appetizers reflect the Italian flair of the restaurant's cooks.
