This rustic Italian eatery, nestled among U Street’s row houses, will host a family-style Thanksgiving brunch. For $45, dine on decadent black Spanish turkey – a specific breed of bird that was popular in the DMV area with colonial settlers in the 18th century. The bird is the direct descendant of Mexican turkeys stolen taken by Spanish settlers to Europe and then introduced into North America when the colonies were established. The meat is known for its richness. Other dishes included are a veggie minestrone with sage and heirloom squash risotto.
