Opened in 2017 in one of DC’s most historic blocks on H Street Corridor, Sospeso is a restaurant and bar where food, drink and relaxed ambiance come together in a vibrant celebration of the good things in life. Inspired by the sun-drenched countries along the Mediterranean Sea, the menu is a large selection of small plates (mezes) that are designed to be shared with family and friends alongside craft cocktails, local beers or a glass of wine from a carefully selected list. The restaurant, named for the Italian concept of paying-it-forward, aims to create a unique sense of the comforts of the Mediterranean with a balance between the familiar and the unknown while paying respect to authentic flavors.
