Excellent food and service. David was an awesome server and so patient and accommodating to our parties needs. We had a birthday and he made it special as well. Very attentive and kind. My group was a group of chefs and we were pleasantly pleased with the creativity and quality of all aspects of the menu. Cocktails, savory, and dessert was impeccable. Maybe a little more salt on the mafalde and a little more sugar in the tiramisus marscapone would have been nice if I’m being (really) picky lol. Definitely will be back and would recommend:) loved it!

We have been to Red hen many times and it does not disappoint. Hard to get reservation, book a week in advance. They do take walk-ins though. The food is superb and the deserts are divine. We ordered bread as one of our starters and that was just ok, rest everything was 5 star.

Get the Rigatoni. Chicken Liver Foie Gras Mousse. Broccolini. Baby Gem Salad. Skip the Ricotta Toast — everyone gets it, sure. But you’re not basic, you’re not everyone. The Foie Gras Mousse on Grilled Bread with Blueberry Conserva is far superior and more unique & takes up the same amount of precious stomach real estate. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Save room for dessert. Crucial! The Panna Cotta is UNREAL. Service is top notch too. Great vibe. Red Hen always nails it.

Ok the hype is real. This may be my new favorite Italian spot in DC. Loved the warm cozy atmosphere and the food was phenomenal. Service was also completely on point. The vibe is more for a date night (each table has a candle, it’s dimly lit and not too loud) but could also be a good spot for a nice dinner with family visiting town, etc.
Highly recommend and will certainly be back.

Very friendly staff, cute environment and great service. The food is good, but personally there are a few other Italian restaurants in the city I prefer to this. This is a nice place overall and good quality food, I just happen to like some other places more when it comes to pasta.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Red Hen recently and was impressed by both the food and service. For dinner, I ordered the Mafalde and it was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Whipped Ricotta Crostini, Tuna Crudo, and Liuzzi Burrata for appetizers, all of which were fantastic. The service was top-notch and I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. I highly recommend The Red Hen and look forward to my next visit.
The Red Hen is exxxxxxxxxcellent! Sit at the bar and let Jason pick what you want to eat. He knows best.

Emilie was one of the best servers I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. The food was wonderful, but I’d come back just for the service from Emilie.

Solid Italian American food, and the revamp of the menu has been a good upgrade. The famous rigatoni is fine, but is not the best spicy pasta you will ever have. The whipped ricotta crostini is amazing, as are the cocktails.

My favorite restaurant in DC! Incredible food, cozy and casual atmosphere. Have been going for years and have never ever been disappointed! Best pasta in DC - rigatoni is a must as well as the "not so secret" off the menu Cacio e Pepe. Wonderful, knowledgeable bartenders and fantastic staff. Love that it feels so comfortable and not pretentious or stuffy with such high quality food! Can get a tad loud as it's usually crowded. Best seats are at the bar, IMO. Some walk-in tables available each night and the bar fills up but bartenders do a great job of monitoring who is in line for the next seat.
This is a commie restaurant
