Yasaman MahdianSeptember 17, 2018Amazing Italian chain. Fresh ingredients. Original taste and they cook pasta right in front of you which is cool. You have fresh basil at table which you can enjoy with your food.
Yuri BMarch 19, 2014You wouldn't think Cheesecake at Vapiano, but think again - it's delicious! And while you are still thinking I'm getting seconds on it.
Isabela TonialJuly 18, 2016Amazing experience! Every tourist should come up and enjoy the cool environment that this restaurant offers... everything is made with passion and high-quality
Madison MondonAugust 14, 2015I just had the pesto pizza with chicken and it was AMAZING! Definitely eat here if you're in Chinatown looking for a place to chow down.
Jason DoughertyJuly 27, 2019Scampi is really good. Food is fresh and the service model is really interesting. Nice dining area
Gabriel M.May 12, 2019Usually there’s a line to get your pasta and you probably will leave the place with a smokey scent on hair and clothes. But hey, food is great!
Alexis EdwardsFebruary 16, 2016I had the Cesar Salad with Linguini Chicken Alfredo and it was the best thing I've ever had. For my first visit, I was extremely pleased. I'll definitely be going back 😋- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014A chic place where you order right at the kitchen, sit at trendy wooden tables and enjoy the site of DC through the huge windows of the restaurant.
Josh HigginsAugust 16, 2014Vapiano is the best Italian chain in DC. Their food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is fun.
Paul CunninghamMarch 14, 2015Great quick service Italian concept. They can make it spicy if you like. Full bar as well.
AngelaAugust 13, 2013Absolutely love the carbonara and the serving sizes are huge. Ask to get your meal in a to go container!
Kay FFebruary 10, 2013Pasta lines can be long but there is a reason! The pomodoro sauce is incredible and the 'spicey' option is slamming!
Sophia HNovember 19, 2016Good prosciutto pizza. Good prices for the pizzas (~$12) when most places are over $12-$15.
Jennifer JacksonJune 19, 2017Decent "fast food" Italian where hey create the dish in front of you. Limited gluten free options but they had a few. Everything was good.
Benjamin DoyleJune 10, 2015really unique concept: they give you a card that stores all of your purchases from various stations, then you pay at the end. not at all crowded
Alex PopovaAugust 26, 2015Make your own pasta! Their ingredients are amazing and the pricing is completely reasonable!
Shana GlenzerJanuary 9, 2013Ask for a scoop of red sauce with the Pomodoro Fresco E Basilico - delicious!
David HarrityDecember 3, 2011CRUDO E FICHI = Tomato sauce, mozzarella, fresh figs & prosciutto with a touch of honey. AMAZING SPECIAL!
AustinJune 25, 2011Fast food Italian combined with kitschy digs. This place is excellent for anyone who can tolerate self service in a chaotic atmosphere.
Erica MountainJune 28, 2010This place is great for a late night drink or slice of pizza. Drinks are well priced and it has a very funky atmosphere...highly recommend!
Anahita N.June 16, 2011Great location for big group dinners. No need to split checks, it's on your card. Love this concept.
Ryan WinnSeptember 20, 2010Awesome atmosphere and the checkout cards are great if your looking to avoid awkward moments when it comes to paying the check.
Alexander MartoneMay 8, 2012This is a great place for lunch, dinner, or drinks! You won't be disappointed. :)
Rob GedarovichOctober 29, 2010Excellent pasta, cool atmosphere. setup is confusing at first for newbies, but staff are helpful and you catch on quick.
There is a gentleman here who will quiz you on gay history as he buses your table. Hint: he's part of it.
- C BarkOctober 30, 2010Peroni on tap and very cool way of paying - scan everything on your card and pay before you leave.
anthony felliAugust 9, 2012I want to apologize for the check in special currently posted, this was not authorized by Vapiano, we are working on resolving, the special is not valid. Anthony Felli, VP Operations
Dustin HaleyDecember 15, 2014Interesting concept, but the food was pretty good. Had way too many reservations and too few tables when I was there however.
Great place for groups. Fun atmosphere, and tasty bites.
Detroit On TapOctober 29, 2010Great happy hour till 8pm and get the salami instead of pepperoni on your pizza.
Get the chicken pesto pizza and the Vapiano martini <= it's got gummy bears in it !
Santiago SApril 14, 2017Pasta was a little raw and the sauce was watery, not creamy. To order pasta, order instead risotto was better tasting.

"Home of the Capitals, Wizards, Mystics and Hoyas. Fairly new arena, seats are good everywhere you go, but sadly getting pricy (especially Caps), but you will have a good time !!!"
JB Faby - 6.8
"Definitely get there early. I like to grab a beer before the snow with my friends. It's a great looking theater with comfy seats and a good location."
Molly Cushing - 5.8
"Cool little dive that's mostly hidden next to the Ruby Tuesday in Chinatown. Cheap alcohol, great atmosphere, tons of games. Get there early and grab a booth in the back."
