L’Ardente is a venture from Chef David Deshaies and his award-winning team from Unconventional Diner.
Glittering chandeliers float below wooden farm beams. Wisps of fragrant smoke linger inside a gold-plated pizza oven. Sumptuous fabrics meet impeccable ingredients.
The restaurant reflects the glorious contrasts of Italy itself: haute yet simple; glam yet rustic; indulgent yet restrained.
Among many awards, l’Ardente was #3 in the Washington Post Best Restaurant List in 2023 and Chef David Deshaies was a semifinalist at the James Beard Awards. Also in 2023, l’Ardente won the Upsacle Casual restaurant of the year RAMMY Award.
