Pesce Seafood House

Grab a laid-back seafood dinner at Pesce, where the fresh cuts of tuna and branzino are served alongside mole and salsa verde. The tiny Latin seafood restaurant in Dupont Circle looks like a maze—small dining rooms and tables zigzag throughout the space. The light walls are covered in mini mirrors and murals of fish, and each room feels like you’re sitting in a little tank, which can feel like betrayal as you sip your creamy lobster bisque. Come here for a low-lift dinner with parents or just to enjoy really good seafood with your homies on a weeknight. Get the tender octopus, served with a creamy polenta.
