Tom Sietsema hits up Francesco Ricchi's newly opened Cesco Osteria in Bethesda for this week's First Bite column. While the decor is "splashy," the Washington Post critic ultimately finds the new restaurant "a little beige." He writes: "Dinner is a roller-coaster ride of lows (baby octopus doing an impression of rubber bands in a salad) followed by modest highs (cue the smoky veal chop with charred bell peppers)." [WaPo]
