Restaurants come and go, but Biba is seemingly forever. For a quarter century, owner Biba Caggiano has been serving her inimitable brand of authentic regional Italian fare out of this Capitol Avenue restaurant. Sure bets include the stuffed pasta and the ricotta gnocchi (both made in-house daily) and the 10-layer Lasagne Verdi alla Bolognese, served Thursdays and Fridays only. The service is smooth and attentive, the atmosphere quiet and upscale—perfect for an intimate meal or celebratory dinner.
