Who You’re Supporting
L’Ardente is a glam Italian dining experience from Chef David Deshaies, the culinary talent behind two other beloved Washington, DC, restaurants—Unconventional Diner and Central. While the menu pulls mainly from Chef David’s travels throughout Italy and love of Italian food, he can’t help but find inspiration from his upbringing in France’s Loire Valley, where his family ran a restaurant, and his many years working with the late Chef Michel Richard. Deshaies was named Chef of the Year by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington in 2020.
Desserts are the handiwork of Corporate Pastry Chef Kaity Mitchell, who joined the team in May 2023 and before that served as executive pastry chef of Portale in New York City. In her current role, she oversees the dessert programs at L’Ardente and its sister restaurant, Unconventional Diner.
