President Obama Spotted at Casa Luca in DC
The Obamas have frequented other D.C. restaurants by chef Fabio Trabocchi.
WASHINGTON, DC — The president and his family are getting to know their D.C. restaurants as they prepare for an extended stay in the nation's capital: Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reportedly ate at Casa Luca in downtown D.C. over the weekend.
It's probably no accident that the First Couple chose this restaurant. It is the third D.C. offering of chef Fabio Trabocchi, who is also behind favorite hotspots of the Obamas like Fiola -- FLOTUS dined there in 2013 -- and Fiola Mare in Georgetown -- where POTUS celebrated his 55th birthday.
The Washingtonian reports that the Obama party was seating in a private room, off the main dining area.
