“My wife and I had an absolutely amazing evening dining out here on a long weekend trip to DC for our Birthdays. The food was incredible I have not found one dish at this or the Chicago location that wasn’t great. Abagail was simply the best waitress we have EVER had. She was attentive, personable and really went out of the way to give us the best dining experience my wife and I have ever had from top to bottom. We had a great experience in Chicago but I have to say I think the food was a touch better here. I am comparing caviar to caviar here as both were great, but DC has the win here and certainly did with our waitress as well.“

“Every bite, Always right! I appreciate your drivers and will tip them.“

“One of the most delicious Italian dinners I have ever had. Everything was a Authentic and a Quality ingredient and well prepared.“

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

“I like this place I would like any of the men there. I'll be good..“

“This charming trattoria came onto my radar, driven by a craving for Veal Saltimbocca and I was not disappointed! I called ahead to make a reservation and I was seated at my reservation time. The Veal Saltimbocca tasted like it came straight from a traditional Italian kitchen. It was tender, fresh and flavorful, served in a generous portion.

I'm not much of a drinker, but the Margarita Italiano with Limoncello was the best Margarita I've ever tasted and was served in a large glass! Service was excellent from my initial phone call to make the reservation through the end of my visit. I am looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow. I would come here again for the same meal, without hesitation.“

“Wonderful service and fantastic food.

This is one of the best Michelin experiences I’ve had in DC. It brings innovation to Italian food in ways I’ve never seen. The margherita risotto and deconstructed cannolis were fantastic and my favorites.

Wouldn’t hesitate to go back! They also helped celebrate my partner’s birthday and service was professional and easy to talk to.“

“Wonderful food & charming outdoor patio space . Cocktails yummy too!“

“Always amazing! Perfect place to go any night of the week!“

“I Love Italian - and when I say this place has THE BEST MEATBALLS I've ever tasted - it's saying a lot! The mushroom gnocchi was light and delish! Not to mention the roasted cauliflower, burrata and garlic bread!! It was a feast and worth every bite! The staff was friendly, polite and aimed to please! The decor and vibe super cool. It was recommended to me by a local and when I visit DC again - this gem will be a first stop!“

“used to get the good fella all the time when working in Waldorf...one of the best things I ever ate.“

“Att Fabio! I’m here now and Maria is my server. She is the best! I started with the grilled calamari and asked about the vongole. She brought me a sample to try! She is well versed with your menu, it was a pleasure to dine here.“

“The pizza and Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine 🤌🏾🤌🏾“

“Had a great experience! Food is delicious - the shrimp scampi appetizer is amazing! My husband and I couldn't get enough of it! Garlic bread with dipping sauce, meatballs with whipped ricotta, branzino and pork Marsala were standouts of what we had. Would definitely go back! Service was attentive but not overbearing and the space was open and inviting, wine selection was great! Excellent evening!“

“Piccolina da Centrolina is a charming spot that feels like a slice of Europe tucked away in the city. The outdoor seating creates a cozy, relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for brunch or lunch.

We tried the salmon skewers and a panini, both of which were fresh and flavorful. The salad that came with the panini was crisp and colorful, adding to the meal’s appeal. A highlight here is the cannoli bar—where they freshly fill the shells upon ordering—making for the perfect sweet ending.

Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the casual yet sophisticated vibe made it a lovely place to spend a slow afternoon. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“We were visiting from out of town and what a great choice to go to Primo Hogies!! The whole staff was incredible!! Food was great! If anyone is on the fence about what they want to eat, this is the place to go! Thank you guys!! Looking forward to coming back!!“

“The pizza was some of the best we’ve had. Delizioso! Definitely a great place to eat.“

“To begin, I was amazed by customer services. Every waiter that passed our table made sure to ask if we were OK or needed anything. Our waiter Vee was also exceptional. Great job to each employee working around noon on Wednesday that passed. I love great customer service when I patronize neighborhood establishments. KUDOS!“

“Today, Dec.13, my wife and I stopped in for first time (5:30/6:00- we are just “average joes)We were greeted by a very cheerful hostess. We were immediately shown to a table. Staff informed us the servings were “BIG” (easily serves two or three), but we are welcome to order as much as we like. There was a plethora of choices! Drinks and bread (4 different types) were promptly brought to our table. The waiter was sharp, attentive, and on his game! (Unfortunately I forgot his name). Our huge amount of food showed up, and it WAS a huge amount for two people! It was served up to our plates to start. (A very nice touch!) it was excellent! For dessert we had the tiramisu “pie”(yes it looked like and filled a very large shallow bowl and served with big serving spoon!) It was covered with shaved Belgium dark chocolate! ( It was decadent/sinful) We ate 3/4’s of the dish! The Manager (Jorge) was also very attentive and customer service oriented! He was observant and wanted us to have an excellent experience… and we did !! It was an absolute AAAAA+++++ meal! Now my new Favorite restaurant! I absolutely recommend this restaurant!“

“Tried Il Piatto during restaurant week for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised! DC has tons of Italian restaurants so sometimes good ones are hard to find but I enjoyed this place.

I ordered the arugula salad and the rigatoni! Both were delicious.“

“La Notte and the BYO Cheesesteak were AMAZING! We had the risotto balls, mozzarella fried I don’t know what, the waffle fries and the cannoli literally they all were AMAZING! Absolutely perfect, quick and so good! The portions were huge, my husband and I took the second half to go and I don’t regret it. Perfect spot for sandwiches that are quick, filling and ready to go! Must visit spot!“

“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“

“Good pizza for less than $6.00. They also have other prepared food, like meats, salads and sides, but I went with pizza. The service is relatively fast and it is a place for a quick bite. I work in the area and it’s one of my favorite options for lunch - slice of pizza, kin of New York style lunch :). Also, considering that the chain exists since 1956, it’s reliable and proven with a time. Interior is simple and ascetic.

Vegetarian options: It’s a pizza place“

“If your looking for great wings and amazing subs, this is the place! I would give ten stars if I could“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“I always just passed by this place in a hurry on the way to drop my kid off to school.
Today I decided to stop and try their Italian version of croissants.
Most of all , the service was amazing!
One of the people works there helped me was Maxwell.
He took a lot of time with smile to explain Italian pastries and coffee (They serve coffee from the oldest roaster in Italy!) He was such a jewel!
Thanks Maxwell! Your recommendation of apricots cornetto
It was excellent!“

“This place was recommended by a friend who lives in the area-and to him, I say THANK YOU! Everything was excellent, from the staff to the food; I couldn't have asked for better. The calamari and shrimp with peppers appetizer were possibly the best appetizer I've ever had. The lasagna was out of this world cheesy! It was delicious in every way. Highly recommend this place; you won't be disappointed!“

“everything you get from there is good no complaints from me“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“These guys have a double smash burger with carmelized onions and Russian dressing that is the most amazing thing ever. The wait staff is great and the atmosphere is pretty cool (the building used to be a movie theater), and just some chill r&b playing. Love it. Def coming back.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Excellent brunch buffet and very nice servers. The pasta dishes and breakfast items were absolutely delicious. Only one incident, there was some confusion about which line was for omelettes and which line was for pasta. Some of the other patrons were combative regarding who was in line first. Unfortunately, this is what you get with the “others” . Overall, excellent food and service. I highly recommend!“

“OH MY GOSH! Not only was the service the best but the food was AMAZING! Our whole group loved every bite and left satisfied! We WILL be back and recommending this place to everyone!“
