It’s been open less than a week, but already diners have a lot to say about Potenza (1430 H St., NW; 202-638-4444). The trattoria (there’s a soon-to-open bakery next door), which is run by the team behind Zola, offers rustic Italian pastas and pizza and is housed in the Woodward Building. Check out the video to find out what early customers think of the food, atmosphere, and value.
