Reviews
We went in hesitant because we were the first of the evening crowd. It didn’t take but 10 minutes and the whole place was packed. It is a small restaurant but every table was taken, many of them by locals that come often because of how great the food and the environment is. There are plaques all over the walls and pictures in the hallway of famous/well known people who have eaten there. This is some of the BEST ITALIAN FOOD I have ever eaten. We had fettuccine Alfredo and a seafood pasta that were amazing and the the cheesy garlic bread will forever haunt my dreams. Also, the wine was great too. This was the “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” story for us because although it looks quiet and quaint from the street, it had the most delicious food and warm family feel from the people there. I wouldn’t go back to D.C. to see anymore museums but I might go back to eat here again.
First of all, I have to say that the food there is really delicious. The portions are a little smaller but the food is good quality. Nevertheless, I think they should treat customers better. We RESERVED a table for 8 people. As soon as we had finished eating and paid, we were asked to leave the restaurant as this table was needed. We just stayed there 1h 15 minutes. However, when we walked out of the restaurant there were neither many people nor a queue of people. There were also some free tables in the restaurant. If the table is only available for a limited time, then this should be clearly communicated on the phone.
Probably the best service I ever got at a restaurant. Very professional establishment we were asked if we wanted to check our coats after being seated. My girlfriend got gnocchi pasta which was probably the best she ever had, and I got the rigatoni. We got tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious!
Very cozy and warm family style ambience with festive decor. Food was great!! We finished everything sauce included haha. Recommend!
Awesome place. I would absolutely recommend. We had the Salmon Pasta and Tomato Gnocchi and then Tiramisu to finish which was lovely. 10/10. Fast - friendly service and such a cute vibe! We got lucky as we were walk ins and they were quite busy, so would definitely recommend to book ahead!
Service was amazing as was food. Enrico our waiter was very attentive and helpful! I would recommend this for any authentic Italian near DuPont Circle.
Really good restaurant. Went here for my bff's birthday dinner and it was great!. It is small and so don't expect to seat a big party without reservations. Our waitress was very kind and she brought out a birthday cake for my friend and got the staff and restaurant to sing her happy birthday! The food was really good and so was the wine selection!
We had dinner at this cosy Italian restaurant last night. The pasta were surprisingly delicious especially the linguine frutti di Mare, the taste of the seafood sauce is outstanding. Our meat eater ordered the Osso Buco and he loved its tenderness and rich flavour of beef. A must try restaurant in DC!
