Dinner Is Served

Vace Carryout

Hand-picked company. Quiet, intimate conversation. Delicious food and wine.

Everything, in short, that your last dinner party was lacking — thanks to a crasher who (accurately) called your risotto “a flavorless bowl of goo.”

Next time, pick up dinner from Vace. The Italian pizzeria is also a full-service delicatessen that stocks handmade sausages and pasta (fettuccini, capellini, linguine, and fusilli), homemade sauces (tomato, walnut, Alfredo, and pesto), and fresh mozzarella — all the ingredients you need to make a winning meal.

Can’t boil water? (Note: please learn.) Vace has you covered with a freshly made frozen lasagna, spinach and cheese cannelloni, pumpkin agnolotti, or eggplant parmigiana that you just pop in the oven and call your very own.

Let’s hope you can say the same for your guest list.

Vace, 3315 Connecticut Avenue NW, between Ordway and Macomb Streets (202-363-1999).
