Søren LouvApril 25, 2017If possible try to visit during Easter, Christmas or Halloween. This place will decorate the restaurant with the most elaborate themes I have ever seen - plus the food is great!- Rayshawn WilliamsMay 16, 2016There's a reason this was an award winning dish. Best ravioli I've had of all my years eating this pasta. The sauce was incredible and the ravioli was stuffed with delicious brisket.
Upvoted Feb 1 - K. HarmonJune 18, 2012A little pricey but so worth it considering the huge portions & DELICIOUS food & awesome service! Oh & complimentary amaretto?! Perfection. Definitely try to make a reservation though, t'was busy.
AlharithOctober 14, 2019I ordered the Misto Di Mare Filomina, it has all kinds of seafood & its a huge portion, it was good, I came here mid October the place was a halloween fest they went all out on decoration AMAZING
JH H-DAugust 5, 2022This place is an institution for a reason. It’s a classic, American Italian restaurant The Sunday sauce is perfect. The meatballs are as big as your fists and the raviolis are like hockey pucks! 😋
- Miki TDecember 15, 2020Fabulous, as usual. Loved their calamari, arancini and mozzarella in carrozza and tortelloni di Michele and macadamia nut white chocolate mousse cake. Staff attentive, knowledgeable and very pleasant
Saja FahadMay 21, 2022Our experience was AMAZING in every single way. Our waiter Todd was so great. We ordered the lobster linguine, one of the absolute best & the beef lasagna, it was divine as well.
Liz FerreeJuly 28, 2015I love this restaurant; I sought it out with my son when I returned after over 15 years! The staff is amazing, management will check in on your experience and are super friendly, and food is amazing!
RCOctober 30, 2017A wonderful restaurant that maintains the typical atmosphere of old Italian places. Pasta is good and the choices are endless. And of course, end your meal with dessert and free sambucca or amaretto!
Steve ZohlerJune 24, 2018Sandi Ravioli was great tasting with 4 very large raviolis. The chicken parm, ravioli matrimonia, and the lasagna were all delicious with plenty to take home. Friendly wait staff as well.
Loreal MonroeJuly 2, 2014Best Italian Restaurant in the area. Meatballs melt in your mouth. Delicious food. Friendly servers. Warm Romantic Ambiance. If you are in the area worth tge trip. Tony is the best server!- Rayshawn WilliamsMay 16, 2016Very filling and tender. If there are multiple plates ordered, I recommend sharing this with someone. The veal chop will leave you stuffed but very satisfied.
Jared CampbellSeptember 3, 2018Save room for dessert. The tiramisu is amazing. Enjoy the complimentary sambuca and amaretto for after dinner.
Miguel ZamoraFebruary 18, 2022What isn’t good? We tried the meatballs, sautéed kalamari, ravioli and tortellini and all was excellent. Service was brisk, attentive and friendly! We will return!
Peter BlumbergAugust 14, 2017Veal parm is the way to go, but save room for desserts - they have an amazing assortment of cakes. A great place to visit during the holidays.
Mark A.June 17, 2013The best pasta in DC! It is loud and can be a bit slow, but food and service are excellent. "Grandma" in the window on Wisconsin Ave. handmaking the pasta is neat also.
MajkaSeptember 15, 2020There are not enough words to describe the Filomena Ristorante experience. At the end of the meal, there is complementary Sambuca and Amaretto. Love the place.
Tony WaterlooJuly 8, 2014Wow, amazing Italian food. Portion size is large, next time we will share. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was great. The complementary after dinner Sambuco and Amaretto .
Brent GatewoodJuly 16, 2018You have to go with the pasta, when you walk in they are making it right there! Great meal.
- Miguel ZamoraFebruary 18, 2022Tortellini and raviolis were excellent as was the sauce and meatballs. Sautéed kalamari preparation was unique and a must try!
J SMarch 8, 2023Carbonara came with ravioli instead of noodz. Highly recommend the sauce was amazing.

Andre RodriguesJuly 14, 2019We had two options, wake our baby up and take him out of the stroller or leave the premises. Take your own conclusions about this place.- Andre RodriguesJuly 14, 2019We have two options, wake out baby and take him out of the stroller or leave the premises. Take your own conclusions.
April GIJanuary 21, 2022tortelloni do Michele & rigatoni alla vodka. meatball and shrimp appetizers. cookies & cream and chocolate mousse cake
Sophia HAugust 19, 2019Ravioli with meatballs, salcisse (sausage appetizer), and cookies n cream mousse cake were all great!
Amy CummingsMay 22, 2019You’re going to get two meals out of almost any dish. My suggestion: Eat half your meal, then order dessert.
Toni 305 🇮🇹 ♋ ✌September 18, 2011My favorite Italian restaurant in the DC area. Love to see the fresh pasta being made in the window upstairs. Friendly wait staff & generous portions. Highly recommend
Bevin LandrumJune 17, 2013Take time to watch the Pasta Mamas work their magic. They are so talented and authentic. They make homemade pasta look so easy.
EdreaFebruary 23, 2012Delicious food with a total cliche Grandma's house ambiance. Gotta love it! :) Complimentary carafe of Armaretto or Sambucca is a nice touch. GRANDE!!
Tiffany DJSTAugust 15, 2011My date and I each had a salad, we shared a appetizer and an entree.....even with sharing we could not finish everything. It was delicious. Make a reservation.....
AmateurConciergeJune 14, 2018Super touristy Italian spot. The kitschy decor is fun, the food is better than you’d expected but at the end of the day it’s still not fantastic quality. 9.1 is wayyy too high. More like 8.0
Ricky SherrillSeptember 28, 2014I am never disappointed when I come here. My favorite dishes are the Oso Buco & the Gnocchi Pasta. 😘
Ashita NageshFebruary 1, 2016The meatballs were delicious, we had the strawberry cheesecake and it's highly recommend, overall, a good experience!
Princess AguilarMay 18, 2014Awesome ambiance, delicious food, excellent service! Thank you Anton! We will definitely be back soon :)
Melissa RothNovember 29, 2015Everything is delicious! I had the butternut squash ravioli special and it was to die for!
Joshua TysselingJune 14, 2019The Mains are huge so don't eat much before hand, amazing American Italian restraunt expensive but wurth the money
Yong KwonOctober 11, 2014A dinner at nonna's. Cozy and homey feel with ridiculously large portions. Go hungry, come out bloated.
The best pastas, chicken parm, lobster ravioli and incredible desserts too
Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015Corny decor but fab food. Portions are LARGE and in charge. I suggest sticking with the classics b/c they do them well.
Laura G AdamsSeptember 25, 2011Really fantastic Italian food and so fun to go to during the holidays. Try to go during Christmas to see the best decorations in town.
