A charming local,place. There were Niobe people who dined there that evening. I missed the hearty welcome of the owner. I had never seen mustard served as a condiment for the nicely cooked calamari. In my experience of having lived in Italy for six years as the waiter serves the pasta s/he asks whether the customer wants Parmesan cheese. In addition I was advised early on that Italians never put cheese on fish. The shrimp scampi had Parmesan cheese already added.

Fabulous vegetarian selections. Great wine list. Server Dennys and the entire staff were very attentive. The oil and vinegar served with the bread was very tasty. The balsamic vinegar was the best we had ever tasted. This is a great place in Woodley Park area not too far from the National Zoo. It's a pleasant atmosphere to wind down after spending the day at the zoo. We enjoyed everything. Thank you.

They were very accommodating of our large party for dinner even with a last-minute change. The Italian food was delicious and enjoyed by all.  The only downside was that the keg was not working so a couple of beer drinkers could not get a draft.
