Celebrity Sightings

Saturday evening brought two celebrity chefs together here in Penn Quarter:  Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis, fresh off the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show, popped into Mike Isabella's hotspot Graffiato.  Giada was born in Rome and hosts Everyday Italian on The Food Network so the restaurant seemed like a good match for her - and indeed it was.  She tweeted:

De Laurentiis and her agent dined with Isabella, and they had gnocchi, chestnut-filled pasta called mezzaluna, spaghetti with cherry tomato, garlic and basil sauce, crispy goat, chicken with cranberry sauce, and pumpkin-filled zeppole.
