“Thank you so much for having my friends Kristina, Alex and I for dinner today. I just want to say that everything we had was great, my favorite being the la calabrese! Meiling took such good care of us, she is a wonderful host and we had some great conversations with her. We’ll def be back in the future to try some of the other pizzas. Your decor and ambience is fantastic as well, I really felt like I was at restaurant in Italy! Keep up the good work and thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“Friendly, quaint and delicious food. Great service. What more do you need“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“what a perfect vibey spot for some incredibly delicious italian food! definitely get the treviso salad and the fried blossoms to start. i could eat so many plates of their mushroom cream ravioli! i’ll be returning for more of that next time for sure. the lamb chops were also so flavorful. the service was also fantastic and they were so nice! adding this spot to the dinner night rotation“

“If I lived here, I would be a regular customer for the customer service alone! The front register person took the time to tell me what the public enjoys as well as his personal favorite; then I watched as the whole team seemed to really communicate and smile with each other while making some of the best pizza I've eaten. Don't hesitate, just go enjoy this restaurant!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)“

“Still a great place after all these years. Lovely atmosphere, great food, attentive service. A wonderful night out.“

“Great venue with two moods: the front elegant, cozy, warm. The back a large space, bright, packed, and energetic (hard to have a conversation) like a true Italian restaurant.

It's a good Italian option in DC.

Don't miss the parmigiana di melanzane, a deconstructed unconventional execution that works. Fritto misto lightly fried, delicious!

Good carbonara, with a generous serving of very good guanciale
The agnolotti e limone : tasty but needs some tuning: dough it too tick - too much past! also difficult to cut, and, when you do, all the filling come out.

Tiramisù : not a huge fan, missed some coffee.

Enjoyed the lambrusco!“

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

“Great menu of food and drinks, well executed, and in a neighborhood locale… well-spaced outdoor seating.“

“The food was phenomenal - we had the beet & burrata salad, a Margherita pizza, and the wild boar tagliatelle. They have a nice wine list as well. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!!!“

“Capa Tosta is such a cozy and inviting spot. The food is fresh, flavorful, and feels thoughtfully prepared. I especially enjoyed the pasta—it was perfectly cooked and full of taste. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. It’s a lovely place for a relaxed, delicious dinner, and I’d definitely return.“

“Highly recommend. Five stars honestly isn't enough. The food was incredible, and one of the best meals we have had in a long time... but what really stood out was the service. The GM, John, was so kind and attentive. He went out of his way to make sure our large party was fully taken care of. There isn't a kids menu (which we understood and were totally fine with), but he thoughtfully suggested a few options the kitchen could prepare for the kids, which we really appreciated. The AGM or Maitre D, I didn't catch his name, was also fantastic. He was right there alongside the GM and waitstaff on a very busy Friday night, making sure everything ran smoothly. At one point there was a slight wait between courses, and the staff came around with homemade cookies for guests to sample, which was a thoughtful touch. We truly have nothing but great things to say. My husband and I will absolutely be back the next time we're in town.“

“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!“

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

“PIZZA MOVERS, TAKOMA PARK Excellent cudmstoner service; great pizza! Faster, too!“

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

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

“We have visited this trattoria many times. Over this time the food quality has remained at very high level. Service is excellent. The restaurant is inside a small house-like setting with three floors. Recently they raised the prices. The prices are quite high. The food was excellent. We had seafood chicken as well as other wonderful pasta dishes. I particularly liked the chicken cacciatore which was just enough spicy for my taste. All in all it is a great experience if you can pay the high prices“

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

“Fiola is refined Italian fine dining at its most luxurious. Service is polished, and the menu is built around seasonality and classical technique.

Its uniqueness is its elegance—each dish showcases restraint paired with deep flavor.

Dish I liked: Lobster Ravioli — silky pasta, rich shellfish reduction, and a beautiful expression of Italian craftsmanship.“

“Shoulda had some dessert after the meal I ate.“

“Quick Google search while in the area we found this Italian spot yesterday evening. Immediately upon entering, Luis greeted us. Food and drinks were excellent. Luis service was very personal as he guided us through the menus and meal selections. The food and drink was excellent. Luis thank you. Same to your nephew. Family atmosphere. Definitely return.“

“Vengo spesso da voi per il pranzo con i colleghi e uso i buoni pasto Coverflex, sapete se li accettate? Non vi trovo sull’app e sarebbe comodo poterli usare qui.“

“My recent experience at Olive Garden was truly exceptional, surpassing my own expectations. Because of the warm and attentive hospitality of Brittany, the my mother and I now consider this our Olive Garden home and encourage anyone reading this to visit this genuinely cozy location.“

“The breakfast sandwich and coffee here was so flavorful and good, and the atmosphere was very nice and peaceful! There were some people socializing, but it is a big space, so it was not too noisy for me to do a Zoom meeting and get work done here. The staff were very kind and welcoming. I would definitely recommend coming here!!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Authentic N. Italian cuisine presided over by Roberto and Ivan.“

“The pizza and salad today was extra amazing!!! Delivery was right on time and everything was perfect for my Sunday working crew. Eight pizza and full tray of salad is no small order and everything was perfect. The service is always friendly and professional for all my requests. Thank you for your hard work in this cold weather!!!“

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

“The food was excellent with equally excellent service. They get 5 stars.“

“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!“

“Visited Masseria on January 19, 2022. This one-star Michelin restaurant offers a tasting menu built around regional Italian dishes. Courses included branzino with sunchoke, agnolotti del plin filled with lobster and finished with basil and breadcrumbs, and strascinati with guinea fowl ragù and Parmigiano. Antipasti featured gnocco fritto with mortadella and pistachio, burrata with Wellfleet oyster and Kristal caviar, and carne cruda of Roseda Farms striploin. Dessert was torta al cioccolato with mascarpone and Okinawan black sugar gelato, followed by a Sicilian blood orange and green tea course.“

“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.“

“The BEST food, the BEST service!“

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

“New favorite sandwich! The Philly Special comes loaded with shaved ribeye, cherry pepper mayo, applewood smoked bacon, Cooper Sharp cheese, lettuce, tomato, and super thin red onion. Basically, it’s what would happen if a Philly cheesesteak and a BLT had a baby.

The flavors work well together. The ribeye is tender, the bacon adds a little smokiness, and that cherry pepper mayo gives just the right amount of heat without being too spicy. It’s messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich you need both hands (and a few napkins) for.

For $17 it’s packed to the brim and could easily be two meals. Totally worth it if you’re craving something indulgent. Grazie Grazie nailed this one.“

“This is my favorite lunch place in DC. The food is outstanding, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant itself provides the feeling that you're enjoying a local sandwich shop. This is the best sandwich bread you can get in DC, and it's not even close. You can taste the freshness in every bite and the addition of being able to buy the meats and fresh baked rolls separately gives Salumeria a local, small-European town quality that can't be matched at other places. For this price point and this level of sandwich creation, you won't find anything better in DC. Try the Crudo, it's a classic, simple sandwich that provides rich flavors in every bite with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto that melts in your mouth.“

“There awesome and a part of the community“

“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“

“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!“
