Award winning Chef/Restaurateur Luigi Diotaiuti was dubbed “The Ambassador of Italian Cuisine” by the Federation of Italian Cooks in Florence, Italy in 2018. In 2024, Chef Luigi was presented the “Award of Excellence” by The Italian Cultural Society at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, DC “in recognition of his outstanding skills, entrepreneurship and dedication to promoting the finest authentic culinary traditions beyond Italy’s borders.”
The owner of Washington DC’s Al Tiramisu (named one of “the 50 Top Italian Restaurants in the World 2019” by www.50topItaly.it) has also been on Gambero Rosso’s “Top Italian Restaurants” list each year since 2018. In 2024, Al Tiramisu was presented with The Italian Language Foundation’s Culinary Award “for its commitment to excellence and years of service.”
The certified sommelier and television personality is also known for promoting culinary traditions on the verge of extinction in the United States, Italy, and around the globe. Born and educated in Basilicata, Italy, Chef Luigi trained at some of the world’s most prestigious locations before opening Washington DC’s “most authentic” Italian restaurant twenty-nine years ago. His current culinary pursuits and consistent media presence in the United States and Italy enable him to enjoy notability and distinction in both countries. In 2017, he was named “Ambassador of Basilicata’s Cuisine in the World” by The Federation of Italian Cooks. Chef Luigi also received the “La Toque” award by The National Area Concierge Association at The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC in 2018.
In addition to dine-in options, Chef Luigi Diotaiuti’s authentic, award-winning, Italian cuisine, as well as wine and spirits, will also be available for curbside pickup and takeout.
