Joe Biden Dines Out at DC Italian Restaurant LArdente
He was greeted by applause and took selfies a day after Trump faced protesters at a DC restaurant.
A day after Donald Trump was confronted by protesters during his first DC restaurant visit as president this term, Joe Biden also hit the town. On Wednesday night, the former president was spotted at glam Italian restaurant LArdente, where he reportedly was greeted with applause, shook several diners hands, and posed for selfies. The restaurant is also a favorite of the Obamas.
Biden was among a group of five that included Democratic Senator Alex Padilla of California. A tipster tells us they sat in a central booth near the gold-plated pizza oven and ordered two of the restaurants famed 40-layer lasagnas, along with other pastas, appetizers, and a vanilla soufflé. Biden drank an iced tea.

Trump seems like the kind of guy who leaves a few loose coins on the table and leaves.
