And we all know who else comes knocking at this jolly time of year: family. These dual themes of the holi...

Dal Grano review: The fresh new face of pasta in McLean
Ana Gomez, the woman working the pasta extruder at Dal Grano in McLean, has a relaxed air about her as the machine squeezes out pale-yellow ropes of bucatini. She glides a flat tool across the extruder's bronze die to free the hollowed-out strands, so she can build a small nest with them on a baking sheet. By the time Gomez sprinkles sem...
Girasole review: Good Italian in hunt country
Girasole is the friend you haven't seen in forever but know you can count on even after a long absence (six years, in my case).

The Family: movie review
It's too bad we can't take a hit out on "The Family."This unexciting, unfunny would-be action satire is filled with Italian-American stereotypes, decades-old TV-style Mafia cliches, bits of business that never amount to anything and actors so much better than the hoary, one-joke material. The trigger for the movie's plot is basically "American mob...
