Authentic Italian food and fantastic cocktails. One of very few places in the States that I’ve seen make bucatini, and do it properly. Not a huge menu, but what they have is done very well. Great for a date night or just an after-work indulgence.
We had a fantastic time here. We had the pappardelle and the ravioli and both were delicious. Our server was charming and all of his recommendations were exactly what we were looking for.
We are locals and love going here. Amazing food! I recommend the lasagna or the rigatoni. The aracini app is great, too. I would stay away from the bucatini and the lava cake.... But, get a cocktail! Sit outside! Enjoy yourself and thank the chef on your way out. Retrobottega is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants in DC and you've got to try it.
