Elizabeth Heavener: Nutella dessert is unbelievable!
The Hill is Home: As good as the pizza is, don’t miss out on the sandwiches. Keep in mind that the pizza doesn’t travel well, so eat it there. And try to leave room for a Nutella calzone for dessert! Read more.
Jon Hussey: Make your own: Capitol Hill with prosciutto and goat cheese. Then get a Nutella calzone for dessert.

Jacob Clere: Chocolate hazelnut is the best! It's like frozen Nutella, only richer, smoother and absurdly delicious.
Christopher Long: Try the black sesame gelato. The pistachio is excellent. My daughters are fans of the mango and raspberry too.

Melody Koh: Awesome brunch spot- love the buckwheat crepes
M Squared Real Estate: Montmarte is considered one of the best restaurants in Capitol Hill and perhaps the best French in the city.
Washingtonian Magazine: More than any other French bistro in the area, this chatty room on Capitol Hill makes us feel like we’re in Paris. What to get: Mussels with pastis; country pâté; veal tongue with sauce gribiche.

Coffee Shop · Capitol Hill · 10 tips and reviews
Rachel Clark: The Nutella lattes have lost some of their punch since the takeover from Pound, but the new menu is overall pretty great (and the new Nutella lattes are still delicious).
Stephanie: They are trying to keep the quality of Pound. Best lattes I've had in DC. Get the bacon, egg, and cheddar on a croissant (giant and delicious)!
Michelle Parks-Robinson: The best breakfast sandwich (thick crunchy bacon) and coffee spot in Capitol Hill area! Sandwiches are huge, worldly sustainable coffee selection.

Pizzeria · Capitol Hill · 42 tips and reviews
Behrad Eats: Great restaurant space with a lot of natural sunlight. The Boar Sausage pizza is excellent, it has smoked buffalo mozzarella, roasted artichokes and parsley.
Washington Post: RedRocks #4 is best for pints and pies. Pizzas have raised edges + a nice crackle. The secret to a crisper crust? A bit of King Arthur “special” (bread) flour sifted in with the fine Italian powder. Read more.
Katurah Topps: GREAT ROOFTOP!! But in terms of dining inside- meh, service is ok. DON'T get the Italian sausage pasta! It's literally the size of an app. Pizza is amazing tho -had the pep/sausage one
