Cafe Milano, long considered one of DC's best Italian restaurants was the venue of this year's Seafood Dinner. Our committee along with Chef Domenico put together not only a great showcase of what Cafe Milano does best but also an incredible selection of seafood delicacies from around the globe. The event was in the restaurant's private dining room that enabled us to have as many as 60 members and guests.  All seafood ingredients were donated by our very own member Stanley Pearlman; Congressional Seafood president. The Wine committee selected outstanding wines from the Chapter’s cellar that complemented each course beautifully.
