Enoteca Rossio

What is Enoteca Rossio? Occupying 1444 Dupont Street in the Junction Triangle, Enoteca Rossio marks an ambitious reimagining of the longtime Piri Piri Grill space by owner Agnelo DaCosta and chef Andrew Capone. The venue unfolds across distinct environments—a lively front bar, a warm dining room, and an intimate speakeasy tucked in the back—alongside a spacious covered streetside patio.

Enoteca Rossio Menu & What to Order Executive chef Andrew Capone anchors the kitchen around house-made pastas, blistered artisanal pizzas, and shareable Italian plates. Start with the arancini alla Bolognesi or heirloom bruschetta, then dive into the Pancetta Croccante pizza topped with potato crisps, crispy prosciutto, ricotta, and rosemary oil. Fresh house pastas like the bronze-die rigatoni with guanciale and the decadent lobster risotto are standouts, ideally paired with a Clarified Paper Plane cocktail or a glass from the Italian-focused wine list.

Know Before You Go Dinner reservations are strongly recommended for prime weekend slots, though walk-in diners can often snag a seat at the bar or on the covered patio. The restaurant operates daily for lunch and dinner, keeping the speakeasy and bar open until 1:00 a.m. from Thursday through Saturday. Dupont transit is right at the doorstep, and dedicated parking is available on-site.
