Inside the secretive Washington, DC restaurant where politicians have met in private since the '90s

Cafe Milano has been a favorite haunt for politicians and other high-profile Washington, DC locals since it opened in 1992, on the same day President Bill Clinton was elected. The Italian restaurant, located less than six miles away from Capitol Hill, is known as a secure meeting place for after-work discussions, as well as some "wheeling and dealing," as owner Franco Nuschese recently told The New York Times.

While each administration has had their favorite after-hours spots, Cafe Milano has proved to be a consistent safe space for politicians. More recently, members from the Trump administration have been spotted there.

Ahead, take a look at the dishes, atmosphere, and who's been seen inside.
