Anton IlarionoffFebruary 17, 2018The place, the service , the attention it’s just unbelievable, all the personal was amazing and with all the details, it’s not possible find a better place for wedding proposal, we are really happy.
Katherine Kennedy AllenMay 6, 2014Truly the most exquisite service I have had in DC. The mocktails are refreshing, lobster ravioli to die for and dessert-- save room for the sweets! A+ experience
John BakerSeptember 27, 2016The front of house staff needs a little work but the food and drinks are spectacular. Everyone says try the lobster ravioli but the Mafalde is where it's at. Trust me on this. Also don't miss dessert.- It's great dinner spot! Warm and cozy areas for both dining and meeting for a cocktail. The service is excellent from valet to the busboys. The food was amazing; I highly recommend the lobster ravioli
Michelle WilesJuly 23, 2017I'm drooling just thinking of the truffle risotto again. Save room for dessert- the donuts are crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside amazing. The marchesa chocolate dessert was my favorite.
Frozen negroni cocktail is the BEST summer drink. Tuna tartar is amazing, but the lobster ravioli are totally worth it. Even at $10 per raviolo. Amazing.
Elizaveta T.May 6, 2017Go with grilled calamari, lobster ravioli and share ricotta pancakes for dessert. Great service, awesome cuisine!
- This place never disappoints. The tuna tartare is to die for. Any pasta is fantastic. And the frozen negroni is the best summer cocktail in DC!
Washington PostJune 11, 2014Get the brodetto (like bouillabaisse). It has more seafood than appear in a season of SpongeBob SquarePants. Throw in some bread, a glass of chilled rosé, and you’re feasting in the Mediterranean. Read more
Alyssa B.February 17, 2020The food was amazing, the service exceptional-like nowhere else. I hate to comment on the service because readers might think the food isn’t as great, but what can I say! The river view-a mere bonus.
Alan HarrisApril 23, 2018The branzino was as close to perfection as I have had recently. I tried the mafalde and The lobster ravioli and preferred the former, although both were good.
Menu changes often, and seafood is the star. Don't overlook dessert though! Hazelnut soufflé is life changing and passionfruit panacotta is drool worthy.
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 12, 2018Romantic spot for a pre-Kennedy Center show dinner or stroll around Georgetown. Pastas are so fresh, and the seafood is, obviously, the right choice.
Sara ZFebruary 19, 2016The PEI oysters are divine. The lobster ravioli is amazing. Get the donuts for dessert!
Excellent food. Don't miss the lobster ravioli. Unforgettable. And I suspect a few other things in the menu are quite wonderful.- Gudfoöd Food CriticsOctober 13, 2016Great brunches. Great drinks and good service ! Pricey but worth the price. Brunches are fun and the fish tastes fresh ! 🍾
Ranini PastelFebruary 4, 2017Great atmosphere and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The meal was delicious but honestly too expensive.
11 weeks in, this establishment is a game changer. Italian with fresh fish and seafood specialties. You must save room for desert.
FahadOctober 19, 2019Excellent Italian 🇮🇹 seafood restaurant .. lobster pasta, mixed grilled sea food and all types of shrimp 🍤
Alla KovrezhkinaJune 20, 2016Drinks and food are amazing. Great for dates and special events. Lovely ambience.
- Alicia Vittone SeatonApril 11, 2014Marubini with mascarpone and scallops with brown butter are amazing, as well as the grilled calamari and whole Dover sole
Rona.July 27, 2019Simplemente elegante delicioso simply elegant and delicious one of the best in Washington near the riverside
OlialiaJanuary 25, 2015Lobster ravioli is from paradise! 😋😋😋 extraordinarily amiable staff and perfect service. A must-visit place!
Nour KhouryMay 28, 2014The grilled branzino, the blood orange salad and the pistachio mint chocolate cake are not to be missed
Tania RionSeptember 7, 2015Excellent place: great view, delicious food, super nice staff... Very nice place to spend a lazy Sunday
- Efrain ResendizApril 23, 2016Oysters w/Caviar...Tutto Crudo! Unique!!! &. Lobster Ravioli! Just delicious!!
Tapiwa SikipaApril 22, 2014At the bar, if you're into mocktails, the Arancia Rossa is a must try. Also the Frutti Di Mare is great!
Anna AnnaAugust 22, 2014Come here now! Have the Lobster Ravioli. Leave very, very happy. Great service all around!
Alex Lazo VasquezNovember 20, 2014Very trendy. Food is regular for the price. If you get a nice view its worth it
Nick RunyanJuly 12, 2015The mixed Adriatic grill is amazing and a pretty good deal. Oysters were also fantastic.
Haya Al DossaryAugust 30, 2015The salad was delicious, the lobster ravioli was subpar, but the desserts more than made up for it- Graham J.April 9, 2018This was really good not long after it opened, but now... Terribly slow service, meager portions, not particularly fresh or flavorful. Fiola Penn Quarter is still great, but this place is A Scene.
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 3, 2015The Bitches say: A+. A truly classy gem with phenomenal cuisine and warm service on the Georgetown waterfront. Winner of Bitches Who Brunch Best Brunch of 2014. Also a Best Bites winner for Best Bread
eric bornemannAugust 9, 2020Gorgeous location, but the food was a big let down. Very pedestrian and uninspired, did not meet our expectations based on past prestige.
- Washington PostFebruary 21, 2014The 7,500-square-foot Italian restaurant is “the biggest one I’ve ever done,” says chef-owner Fabio Trabocchi. You can select whole fish from a market counter. Grilled fish will be filleted tableside. Read more
