All of the foodie types had been buzzing about what
Dino was doing with apricots last week so I had to sneak up there after the rain Sunday and try them out. The photo doesn't do it justice. Wrap your brain around this: grilled apricots, wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with mascarpone cheese.

That was supposed to be the last of them for the season (usually there's only a two week window for locally grown apricots), but Dean just told me that he scored another flat that will be delivered today - so get there fast!
While you're there, congratulate Dean & Kay on the 7th anniversary of Dino and you'll be treated to a free glass of wine. I hear Dean's planning to open his 1999 Cerbaiona Brunello on Wednesday and the 1999 Pertimali on Friday. They've also got an amazing tasting menu celebrating their favorite regions of Italy.
A few pics from my latest dinner at Dino after the jump...

| Some sort of hazelnut gelato madness |
Dino is located at 3435 Connecticut Avenue NW (at Ordway Street) - right across from the Cleveland Park metro stop.
