My friends and I were victimized by racism and discrimination. We are deeply disappointed by the experience we encountered at this particular restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with dismissive and disrespectful behavior compared to how other customers were greeted. No one should feel unwelcome or ignored based on their appearance. 100% dissatisfied.

I had an extremely disappointing and troubling experience at this restaurant. I witnessed and experienced behavior that I believe was racist and discriminatory. Certain guests, including myself, were treated differently based on appearance and background. Staff members showed clear bias in their service, and it made the entire atmosphere uncomfortable and unwelcoming.

I was racially profiled and discriminated against. I was denied use of the restroom without anyone checking whether I was a customer. I can only assume it was because I’m Black. I had every intention of spending money, but was immediately told “no” the moment I walked in. It was upsetting and unwelcoming. I ended up going down the street to Thunder Burger & Bar, where I was greeted with kindness and respect. Support businesses that treat everyone with dignity. Spend your money at a place that isn’t racist.

Delicious Italian food, cozy setting in beautiful Georgetown. Our group of six ordered several pasta dishes and a pizza, and all were very well done. Two of us ordered cocktails, both were very good, the Italian sunset and the Limoncello martini. Don't sleep on this place in Georgetown!

Well, this is actually my first time writing a review like this. I am not usually the type to do so. A few hours ago, I visited this restaurant for the first time after passing by and deciding to try their pizza. I walked in and asked if I could sit outside. The staff member at the front, an Asian male, told me they were serving indoors only today. I said okay and asked for a seat inside.
He pointed me to a table located directly behind the front desk. As I glanced around toward other clearly empty tables without saying a word, he suddenly said in a rude tone, “These tables are reserved. Sit there,” as if giving an order rather than assisting a guest.
Surprised by his attitude, I calmly asked, “Why are you being so rude?” with a slight smile to keep it light. He immediately replied, “Am I rude? Am I?” then walked outside, stared at me, returned, and pulled a chair roughly while continuing to stare and making loud noises with the chair.
At that point, another staff member stepped in and tried to calm the situation. He politely told me, “No worries, please sit, it’s fine,” clearly trying to smooth things over. I appreciated his effort, but the damage was already done.
Of course, I did not sit. I left immediately.
This was my first and last experience with this place, and unfortunately, it spoke volumes about their service culture. I have been to many restaurants across the DMV area and have never encountered such unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Very disappointing👎🏻

Our experience was absolutely top-notch and I would highly recommend Angolo to anyone! Outstanding service, great food options with huge flavor on everything we ate plus an atmosphere that was quaint. Ahmed D. was the best part of our experience due to his promptness and above and beyond approach. We WILL be back!

At first glance, this Italian restaurant may not stand out compared to some of the trendier, more crowded spots in Georgetown. From the outside, it’s understated and easy to overlook. But stepping inside, my wife and I were instantly struck by its warm, old-school charm—it felt like a slice of Italy tucked away from the bustle of M Street.
We were hopeful it would live up to that first impression, and we’re happy to say it far exceeded our expectations. The owner and staff were absolutely incredible—genuinely kind, attentive, and eager to help us navigate the menu and select the perfect drinks. Their hospitality made the whole evening feel personal and special.
The food was outstanding. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and I had the tortellini in a creamy tomato sauce—both dishes were rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. While the check includes an automatic gratuity of around 22%, we were so impressed that we added a little extra. As we were leaving, the owner actually stopped us to make sure we noticed the included tip, clearly concerned we might have added more than we intended. That level of honesty and care only made us want to tip more.
This place may fly under the radar, but it's the kind of restaurant you root for—the underdog that absolutely delivers. If you're looking for a truly authentic Italian experience in Georgetown, don’t pass this one by. It’s a hidden gem worth discovering.
