Suggestions for Italian Restaurant near Washington

Elizaveta T. • May 6, 2017Go with grilled calamari, lobster ravioli and share ricotta pancakes for dessert. Great service, awesome cuisine!

Ben R. • September 19, 2016Awesome new addition to the neighborhood. Recommended: brandade fritters, heirloom tomato bruschetta, cacio e pepe pasta (al dente perfection). Pizzas at neighboring tables looked great too.

Feld G. • August 25, 2018Tasty small plates, good drinks, delicious pasta, and friendly service. Place is really nice looking inside - modern-ish, but still classic.

Michelle W. • August 11, 2022Pictured - vongole pasta with breadcrumbs 🤤. My faves - paparadelle pasta, roast cabbage app, and bread pudding dessert

Ashley R. • May 2, 2016Babies love the Aperol spritz here. Start with the watercress salad (crispy anchovy bones-yum) and mini meatballs; for pizzas stay classic wth the margherita or go green with the sausage and friarelli

Christopher C. • August 21, 2020Sandwiches, pasta, & deserts.

Caroline R. • November 20, 2022Arancini, burrata, the Drunken Love pizza, any macaroni with the Sunday sauce and the tiramisu are must haves.

Konstantinos G. K. • September 18, 2018Pasta is homemade and amazing. The staff very friendly and the environment is cozy

Andrew W. • May 25, 2019Good stuff. Tasty single slices, huge sandwiches, good drinks. Feels old school

Nicole D. • June 18, 2019Could not say enough great things about the food. Short Rib Pasta was to die for and has been just as delicious every time. Also highly recommend the meatballs and flatbreads

Ashley R. • May 2, 2016Brunch seating without a wait mid morning on a rainy Sunday. Start with the coffee cake to share and breakfast fettuccine... Tasty way to start the day🍝🍳

Toby W. • January 12, 2020Excellent pastas and homemade desserts

Ryan W. • April 1, 2011By far my favorite Italian Restaurant in Washington, D.C. Chef Testa personally visits each table. Will continue to eat here until the day it closes.

Cristián M. • November 12, 2019Amazing authentic Italian, with a good mix of large and small portions, great beer and wine, good appetizers, great bread served with seasoned oil, and homemade pasta. Also accommodating for kids!
