“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“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.“

“This is probably the best pasta I’ve had in DC. I’ve been here twice for dinner now, and the pastas were all great. We got a few smaller portions - the alla norma, taglioni, rigatoni, and agnolotti - all were good. We also tried the sfincione [we are both Sicilian], which was OK but not really a sfincione. Good wine selection and great espresso martinis too. Will return.“

“This was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would never normally choose Italian as a n “”out to eat” option but I’m so glad I did! I would eat here night after night if I could.“

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!“

“I recently dined at Modena DC and had an overall positive experience. The food was generally good, though some dishes stood out more than others. The crispy artichokes were absolutely delicious—crispy and flavorful, definitely a highlight of the meal. The butternut squash pasta was just okay, lacking a bit of depth in flavor, but the pesto gnocchi was quite good, with a nice balance of creamy texture and vibrant pesto.

For dessert, the crème brûlée was fantastic—rich, creamy, and perfectly caramelized on top. It was definitely a great way to end the meal.

While the food was decent, I did find the prices to be a bit on the higher side for what you get. Still, it wasn’t a bad experience overall.“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at this pizzeria! The food was exceptional – you could truly taste and even smell the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. What makes it even better is that all the ingredients are imported directly from Italy, ensuring an authentic and flavorful experience. The pizzeria is family-owned, and you can feel the love and dedication that comes from continuing a proud family tradition. The owners’ passion for their craft shines through in every detail, from the recipes to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Speaking Italian with them added a genuine touch of authenticity, making it feel like a little slice of Italy right here. The service was impeccable – attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for amazing food made with the finest imported ingredients, great service, and a place that feels like family, this pizzeria is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return!“

“Katie is worth her weight in GOLD. She the best, and deserves a million stars!!! Ms. Sheila“

“Great food, wines and service.“

“I don't leave many reviews, but Bozzelli's (specifically the Vermont Ave location) is worth it. I travel to DC semi-regularly, and I've been to Bozzelli's for a chicken parm sandwich and lemon cake three times...should tell you something, considering the many other food options in the area. Food's great, and service is about as friendly as I've experienced. If you're looking for something quick, affordable, and delicious around Dupont Circle, this is the place.“

“I came here right when the restaurant opened and sat at the bar for the happy hour. Food came out quickly, love the bread a lot. We got the meatball, the grilled octopus with finger potatoes (please try this dish it’s so good). They also accommodated my request regarding the pasta, which was very nice of them. Tiramisu is good too. Would come back.“

“Amazing meal. The food and service were top notch. Service friendly and professional. Beautiful restaurant. Excellent wine list. Host John insured that all went well. All 8 of us greatly enjoyed the experience!“

“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! ;)“

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

“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.“

“The food was excellent and we had a great time . Super sweet waiters .“

“We went for the bottomless happy hour deal. For $36 (~$50 after tax and tip) you get unlimited drinks and some apps from 5-7.

Most places in DC don’t honor the true spirit of bottomless drinks but that is not the case here. Our server kept the drinks flowing and they were all delicious. So was the food.

10/10 experience, amazing bang for your buck, and overall an excellent way to kick off the weekend.“

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

“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!!!“

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

“Well deserving of the recognition by Michelin's star award. Arguably, the best restaurant in DC metro area with a commitment to excellence in food, service, and atmosphere. The wine list is among best with older, approachable vintages.

Great experience.“

“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!“

“Good food but if you plan on ordering from uber eats make sure you tell them you need eating utensils and napkins. There is no place to request this on their uber eats, so you will sit in your hotel room eating with your hands“

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

“The environment was enjoyable- the upstairs seating was private, but the downstairs was quite busy. The service was great- the servers were attentive and helpful. The food was delicious- it did take a while though to get our meal. The wait was worth it though. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and it was fantastic.“

“We had a lovely meal! The Fettucine Alfredo Vero and Penne alla Vodka with garlic, basil and creamy tomato sauce were both delicious, with fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. To top it off, the Rich Decadent Chocolate Cake was the perfect way to end the meal—absolutely yummy!“

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

“My friend and I went here for her birthday; however we didn’t mention it was for any occasion. We were immediately greeted by the host and seated. Throughout the meal, we were checked in on by our waiter as well as the manager. Towards the end of our meal, the manager overheard it was a birthday dinner and gave us a free dessert. Overall, the service, food and ambiance was amazing!“

“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.“

“Amazing addition to the neighborhood. We went around happy hour and everything was great. Good vibes, great prices, really nice staff. A small menu, really well curated. We got the valpolicella, real Rickey, Roman sunset, Toto, and a meat and cheese board.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s going to be our go to after-work chill spot from now on.“

“My waiter was excellent. She was wonderful. The food was fresh hot. I'm good and like always bathrooms clean. You know, I am about bad pros and I rarely get five stars.But it was the waiter gave y'all five stars, she was excellent“

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

“I ordered the Lasagna dinner and I The serving was large and the salad was with Balsamic Vinaigrette’s. They also make pizza did not try from the amount of Togo orders it must be good. The management needs to decide are a full fledged Italian restaurant or just a pizza place serving some Italian food. I would go back again.“

“I had a to go order of their eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti, and a side salad. The young gentleman at the pick up counter was so friendly and welcoming. The food was great! The spaghetti was the star (very tasty!), and the salad was pretty good as well as the eggplant parmigiana (a little more sauce would elevate it). They were extremely generous with portion size and the food easily was enough to make 2-3 meals. Price very reasonable too. Look forward to supporting Mama Lucia and frequenting this business more!“

“This pizza is just right every time for me! I consistently go here for that reason. The sauce is a little tang to it in my opinion, but tastes good. The cheese is good quality. They baked their pepperoni just right (which is usually my litmus test).

The customer service is always cool, I've never had a problem. Staff seems to enjoy themselves while they work, which is always nice to see. Its a clean establishment. Never too busy or backed up. It's my preferred pizza shop, even though I pass a Papa Johns, a Pizza Bolis, a Dominos, and a slew of others to get to this one. It's out of the way for me, but I feel it's worth it. Plus the specials they have are very reasonable in my opinion, comparable to Dominos.

And I like all the toppings I've tried here. Next time I'll post pictures.

Vegetarian options: It's a pizza place, so of course you can customize your pizza to be vegetarian. The same goes for the salads and sandwiches.“

“Food was tasty and service was good. The tip was factored into the bill so there was no trying to figure out what the tip was supposed to be. A HUGE issue for us however was the noise level. We couldn’t hear our waitress, we couldn’t hear each other and ended up with a miscommunication that resulted in one of our party not getting what they believed they had ordered.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“My friends and I were visiting DC and wanted to try something new. When we got there we saw it was closed for a private event but Sherman quickly came out and apologized. My friend mentioned wanting to find a cannoli so he told us to wait outside. He came out with three cannolis and told us it was free. He was the sweetest and the cannolis were amazing!!“

“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“

“The place was really cute though my photo doesn’t do it justice. They had bright lighting and a high ceiling. We went during the Wharf boat parade so it was great hideout from the cold and the crowd.

I ordered on the kiosk when I walked in. The service was fast and the sandwich was fresh. I ordered the Retzo sandwich with chicken cutlet and it had this sweet and spicy sauce that was perfect for the weather.“

“This place was amazing! I went here tonight for my anniversary the food quality blew me away! It is an expensive restaurant but it is worth it because of the experience. I would definitely recommend anybody to come here and I will come here again myself! Thank you for a lovely dinner“

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

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

“This review is dedicated to those reviewers who say Ama’s food is either ‘bland’ or they were ‘still hungry’ after eating there-

this is because you are used to eating at restaurants that use fake ingredients and artificial flavor enhancers, as do most in the country, so sorry but you have no idea what real food tastes like. Ama makes real food, intentionally and wholeheartedly. They partner with local farmers, cook with real ingredients, and create a menu that will leave you feeling satiated and wonderful, as my friends and i did even after we ate through the menu AND ordered 4 desserts at the end.

so yeah, their food isn’t ‘bland’ , you probably have just never tasted food that wasn’t grown in a lab and loaded with artificial flavoring and addictive chemicals. try harder!“

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

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