The pasta was excellent, truly superb. I had the ravioli which was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. The antipasta (arancino rather than arancini as indicated by the menu) tasted a little off—perhaps frozen?—and the dessert I had (panna cota) was presented a flan rather than a true panna cota.

As always, our experience at Ted’s bulletin was superlative. First and most important, the food is outstanding. And the desserts are even better, especially the carrot cake and the chocolate cake. Loved my snowball for nostalgic reasons. Be sure to get a milkshake. And the cornbread sticks. And the brussels sprouts. We ate at Ted’s four times in the four days we visited DC. The manager was so gracious in giving us a table on our fourth day as we were short on time before leaving for the airport. The staff were already beginning to recognize us. Can’t wait to visit DC again so we can eat at Ted’s at least once every day of our trip. And take home more desserts.
