The Cuisine

Helmed by Executive Chef Tony DiGregorio, Kingbird is a contemporary Italian steakhouse, sourced from local purveyors and fresh pasta dishes made in-house. Just steps away from The Kennedy Center with views of the Potomac River, Kingbird is ideal for pre-theater dining.

The Design

World-renowned designer Ron Arad has created a dramatic, yet warm and inviting space, perfectly complimenting the building’s original architecture.

Meet the Chef

Before joining The Watergate, Chef DiGregorio moved to D.C. to assume the role of Executive Chef at DBGB Kitchen in 2021 after holding various titles at Café Boulud in Palm Beach within Daniel Boulud’s Dinex Group portfolio. He additionally crafted & created menus for elite private clientele on Boca Grand Island in Florida and at Balsams Grand Estate in his home state, New Hampshire. The pedigreed chef and WACA member plans to utilize his past experiences and training to revamp the food menu at Kingbird to reflect a more modern contemporary point of view by fusing his classic French training with modern techniques along with his existing personal relationships with local farmers to source best-available ingredients.

Tortellini in Brodo. I love it for its simplicity but at the same time, attention to detail making it a labor of love.
