Mamma Lucia Iverson Mall, Hillcrest Heights MD – Seemingly It’s Own Thing
This one was quite the interesting excursion, since Mamma Lucia “Italan Eatery” or “Mamma Lucia Pizza & Italian Food” here in Iverson Mall of Hillcrest Heights, MD, does not seem to be part of the very-well known local chain also called Mamma Lucia. The websites look completely different, with the Mamma Lucia I visited sporting…

Franconia Pizza, Alexandria VA
Franconia Pizza shoot was another one I got to take a close friend along for the ride to, and 495 being an absolute nightmare for no good reason turned a potential 35 minute of a commute into over-an-hour each way with no thanks to the 4pm appointment time that I absolutely loathe any time I…

Abebech Ethiopian Café & Market, Washington DC
Now this shoot was not without its delays, but it ended up very refreshing considering it’s right across from one of my first-ever Ethiopian shoots of my career – Hiwot, that’s still around but seemed to have turned completely around from the vibe it used to have. Abebech Ethiopian, aside from absolutely tiny seating space…

Roma’s Pizza Pasta & Subs, Columbia MD – Grandma’s Slice of the Pie
Roma’s Pizza Pasta & Subs is a new-ish, dual-duty spot in Columbia, MD, that has a kickass authentic Italian deli and market with its name being a nice pun, as well as a proper pizzeria all in the same cozy space. Owner and the staff are pretty chill, which can be a 50-50 roll of…

Supano’s Restaurant, Baltimore MD – story
Supano’s was one of my early gigs and I dragged a friend along to be my “assistant” and observe this wonderless world of corpo food shooting, and to that effect this gig did not disappoint! It was scheduled during the dead hours of the afternoon, but that didn’t stop the kitchen from being horribly sluggish…

Luna Del Sea Steak & Seafood Bistro, Baltimore MD
Luna Del Sea was a classic American Bistro and a nice and straight-forward shoot save for abysmal parking around West Pratt street. These morning shoots can be pretty fun when your typical older school businessman owner guy is there to shoot the shit with about this industry while his staff whip up the dishes and…

La Bettola Italiano, Crystal City VA – Fourth Time Is The Charm
La Bettola Italiano, smack in the main strip of Crystal City, VA, and not to be confused with the chain restaurants in the hotel strip, I have shot more times than I can honestly count. At one point, the owner went ahead and got his own set of proper shots that did not adhere to…

Mama’s Pizza Kitchen, Washington DC
Near Martin Luther King Boulevard in SE DC is Mama’s Pizza Kitchen – a family run, awesome Italian restaurant with homey decor and superb dishes! Highly recommended if you’re in the area. Easy enough lighting for the shoot, but the wait for appropriate for the amount of plates.

Amicci’s of Little Italy, Baltimore MD
Pretty little Italian ristorante in Little Italy, Baltimore. This was one of my very, very early gigs and went well like most of the places in Fell’s Point.
