Chef Fabio Trabocchi is the culinary maestro behind Tyson Corner’s Ritz-Carlton restaurant. He leads a staff of cooks (all equipped with headsets) that compose Maestro’s open kitchen—perhaps one of the most orderly, calming kitchens in the world. He is also the mastermind behind Maestro’s menu, which is divided into four themes: La Creazione (a tasting menu), La Tradizione (traditional fare), L’Evoluzione (a sort of adventurous fusion with European and Asian flavors) and I Colori dell’Orto (“the colors of the garden”). Sample from more than one section, or stick to what you know—but rest assured that you will leave Maestro delighted and sated. This elegant Italian dining room has won awards and star reviews from everyone who’s had the pleasure. You simply can’t go wrong
