Best special occasion restaurant in Washington DC. Fixed 5 course meal with generous antipasti.
The handwritten menu and the array of antipasti change daily, but some gems do reappear. Thrills on a recent menu included meatballs studded with pine nuts; ultralight arancini; chocolate polenta cake
Leave yourself at the mercy of the servers, and you will not be disappointed. Be sure to let them know advance of dietary restrictions. Fantastic flavors and wonderful service

The Italian is awesome. Finally a good sandwich place in DC. I've waited years for a place like this. Very fresh and a great combo of sauces...the mayo, bubs vinaigrette, and homemade hoagie relish.
Bub's Italian hoagie is one of the best in the area: Genoa salami, prosciutto, capicola, pepperoni, aged provolone, arugula, roma tomatoes, hoagie relish, mayo, Bub’s vinaigrette & pecorino Romano.
If you love Italian food, dine at Trattu! Pasta is perfectly cooked and the cannoli is delicious! Pastry shell is crisp and the ricotta filling is sweet, creamy and smooth.
Wonderful food, great service & lovely ambiance. Try the Melanzane di Parmegiano or Involtini di Melanzane -- both delicious!
Every pasta dish. And great cannolis!
The Yuca Fries are amazing!!!
Have the Date Bread Pudding. Delish!
Great place for a cheap breakfast sandwich and coffee. They serve different flavors of Seattle's best coffee. They also have about five, two-seater tables inside by the front window.
Great selection of Seattle's Best
Good place to get a bagel in the morning.
You can order gnocchi arabiatta off-the-menu - they do a great job. And save room for a cannoli for dessert (theirs are fab).
The tartufo is to DIE FOR! The best Italian dessert I've ever had.
Penne puttanesca is awesome here!!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
