The wife.
Maria Trabocchi gets that question a lot. Six days a week, Maria — blonde, 5-foot-9 before she slips a foot into her high-heeled ankle boots, as tan as if she’s just flown back from Tulum, Mexico — flits between the dining rooms of Fiola, Fiola Mare and Casa Luca, the trio of Washington restaurants she owns with her chef-husband, Fabio. For the record, yes, she’s the wife. But she’s more than that. He may rule the kitchen, but Maria reigns over everything else.
