They serve my favorite slice on U Street. But the problem is, this place is never open. I work nearby and usually head out for lunch between 1 and 3 PM, 1 out of 3 times they're closed. When I leave work they’re closed. It's super frustrating because I’d go all the time if they just kept more consistent (or at least posted) hours. I went in today, door open, “we’re closed”. Dulccini’s is open! Bolis is open!

The Italian Kitchen catered all of the food for our daughter’s wedding -150 guests (hors d’oeuvres and dinner). The food arrived timely and everything was delicious! If you are looking for a caterer for your next event, choose the Italian Kitchen !! You will not be disappointed.

Ordered delivery for the chicken Alfredo and a small Caesar salad. The salad came dry with no dressing. The pasta had WAY too much sauce and was like cutting into a baked ziti. Alfredo sauce was bland and under seasoned.

I have ordered from Italian Kitchen on U for lunchtime catering on several occasions and let me tell you, not once have I or my team of over 55 employees ever been disappointed. Here's a recap of an email I sent to my wonderful contact Tony:
"Hi Tony –
First, thank you for my “special” food. You saved me from having to cook dinner yet again. 😊 Second, the lunch arrived on time. YAY! Third, I dined on the steak and cheese panini. It was delicious. The bread was nice and soft, the vegetable dressing (lettuce and tomato) was fresh, the steak tender. Yum. Finally, a comment from two of my co-workers: “Erin and I agree that the Eggplant Pizza was amazing ;) Thank You!!” Others have also commented as follows: the steak and cheese are delicious; the Caesar salad is great. One even said the dressing was “out of this world”. They also love the lasagna, I concur. You and your team have been hitting it out of the ballpark consistently. Thank you. You make me look good (wink, wink). I will be in touch for future orders real soon. 😊 Trust me, you will not regret dining with them. They definitely aim to please the customers. Unfortunately, there are no pictures to share. We demolished the food before I considered leaving this review.
Vegetarian options: It is best to order directly from the store front/brick and mortar as opposed through one of the third party ordering/delivery services (you know who they are). They restaurant is very accommodating.
Dietary restrictions: They have been able to provide various dietary restriction needs from vegan, vegetarian to gluten-free.
I have never had a better experience ordering an entire office lunch with a company than I had today with Italian Kitchen (DC). Tony went above and beyond to be professional, courteous, & helpful. Every single order, out of the 16, was name labeled and individually bagged. All requested changes were made, and nothing was missing. I have never been happier with a delivery service. This was such an amazing, pleasant experience & I owe it all to Tony & Italian Kitchen DC.

The Italian Kitchen in DC is a true gem! This family-owned business is absolutely amazing, and they have a unique way of making you feel like you're part of their family from the moment you walk in.
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying their food for a small catered birthday dinner, and I was blown away by their service and the quality of their food. The attention to detail and the care they put into every dish was evident, and it made the celebration truly special.
What sets Italian Kitchen apart is not just their delicious food, but also their commitment to serving the community. It's heartwarming to see how they provide food to so many people in need. Their dedication to giving back is truly admirable.
If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine served with warmth and love, you absolutely must give Italian Kitchen a try. Not only will you enjoy a fantastic meal, but you'll also be supporting a business that does a lot of good in our community!
The owners are two of the most kind hearted people I’ve ever met. It was evident that they genuinely care about their staff and customers. Service was outstanding. I’ve also had food catered from Italian Kitchen and everything we could have possibly needed was provided without even having to request. Definitely would recommend!

We ordered two Lasagnas and Chicken Alfredo with three sodas. Working hours until 11 p.m. during work week. We ordered for take out because they were closing. Prices were around 20$ per person including soda. Meal size is good, worker was polite and nice. Neighbourhood is sketchy during the night, but maybe it’s just us because we are not from around here. We found it using google maps search for italian restaurant. Family owned and operated. Street parking down the street and in front of the restaurant. Solid 8 / 10 overall rating.
