Federico Ristorante Italiano
Federico has taken over the space that was once occupied by Cafe Italia on Crystal City’s neighborly 23rd Street strip. The new spot is co-owned by Freddie’s Beach Bar & Restaurant owner Freddie Lutz, who used to be a waiter at Cafe Italia. The new Federico offers both classic and contemporary Italian fare and sits just a few steps away from Freddie’s.
