Sugo is pretty pricey- never eaten there but have heard good things.
Antolini's- really want to like this place but can't see the value or really the quality- got 2 pastas and some sort of appie and all I remember is that everything came with the same boring rose sauce - using homemade pasta isn't nearly as distinctive as they seem to think it is- and the place is ALWAYS empty. If I want Ital on 17th I go to Buon Giorno.
Da Paolo- also not cheap- have heard very good things, not eaten there
Abruzzo- good smells, nice menu, good prices, never tried it
Capriccio- looks great, Lina's connection (I think), must try, heard prices are very decent
Other places to check out that are reasonable:
Il Centro and Pulcinella for superb authentic pizzas, the lunch "tavola calda" at Lina's which is still my favourite Italian resto in the whole freaking country- nobody makes risotto balls like Lina's!
I also have to put in good word for high end but superb, never-miss Italian at Centini.
