Steven Androphy: Tough to get reservations now that it's so popular but it's well worth the trip. Chicken liver mousse, burrata, and short ribs were all fantastic.
Johanna: The burrata and rigatoni are both musts. Highly recommend the Barbera blend if you're looking for a good red!
Leandro Lagera: Best. Food. Ever. Would go here every night if I could. Try the savory burrata and the squid ink pasta.

Washingtonian Magazine: What to get: Tuna-topped crostini; burrata with heirloom tomatoes and basil; meatballs with a sunny-side-up egg; pappardelle with ragu of Scottish hare; lasagna with morels and truffles.
Kat L: Skip burrata with tomatoes.. The ahi tuna tartare was refreshing but not a must. The steak tartare was better. Order the lobster ravioli if someone else is paying for it. Donuts were overrated.
Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld: Pastas, "susci," and burrata wowed us. Suckling pig, not so much. Be sure to try the ricotta doughnuts for dessert.

Ashley Milnor: Best Pizza Ever!! The Margharuta Extra and the Burrata Appeizer are the way to go. Heavenly!
Andrea R: Burrata Cheese is Amazing! Rapini is a must! They use the most delish balsamic vinegar! Fav Salad on the menu is the Escarole. The Pizza is Certified by The Italian Government Neapolitan Pizza!
Eric Emanuelson: Pizzas are delicious. The menu takes a slight twist on classic topping combinations, but not as adventurous (for better or worse, depending on your mood) as Comet Ping Pong. Fun atmosphere and bar

Elena Godfrey: It's a small neighborhood spot. A small menu, which changes seasonally, is loaded with adventurous takes on comfort food. The chicken and burrata sandwich currently on the menu is amazing!
DCCARGUY William Hopper: The bar is quite nice, but you only know that if you go back that far!
William Cummings: The food is delicious! Make sure to try the house-made Pierogis.

Tania Rion: I was there for brunch last Saturday and it was a very long one. Food was great and the staff was even better because they let us stay for as long as we wanted. I'm definitely going back!
Katya Ananieva: Fried artichokes, the Maltagliati, prosecco on tap and Morgan at the bar = best combination ever!

Maggie MacG: The burger here is sooo good (comes with fries) and is very shareable. The service here is excellent, much much better than the Top of the Gate.
Amber Shi: The duck breast is very impressive. Get it in medium. The cocktail called Strawberry is good too if you like gin.
Raakin Roll: The Milkshake (consisting of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter) and the salmon is best done here
Neal Joseph: Fabulous, heavily local beer list, with 2 beers on cask. Burrata was incredible.
Azizza Davis: The food is excellent! You have to try the ten spiced over wings, Korean short rib tacos, and crab Mac&cheese. Overall our first experience at City Tap House was awesome.
Behrad Eats: Must try the Blue Crab Mac N' Cheese with jumbo lump crab and fontina cheese. It is fantastic!
