My fiance dragged me to this delightful little bistro one summer evening and am I sure glad he did. Nestled in the heart of McLean, this European inspired restaurant boasts some of the most amazing food and well-known clientele in the political world. Fresh, crisp french bread, begging to be demolished is brought to your table promptly by the always friendly waitstaff, many of whom are family. The caesar salad is truly divine, with the perfect amount of anchovy mixed in to give it that tangy bite we love and is so often lacking in many mainstream caesars. I had the duck...an excellent choice given the tenderness of the meat and the beautiful sauce drizzled on top, and people swear by their simple classic of chicken parmesean (a bit of a departure from the menu francaise...but nonetheless a winner). While it is a classic French restaurant, the portions are rather American, so don't be afraid of leaving hungry, and the price is moderate overall (around $25 per person for a full meal). Plus, if you love the politico world as so many Metroites do, this is the place to run into any number of senators or congressmen.
Overall I rate Cafe Tatti a 4.5....they pack a lot of punch in that small place!
