“I went there for my birthday. I ordered a starter and a meal. The starter and drinks were served on time. However, they served meatballs to my girlfriend, who had actually ordered vegan pasta. They served her vegan pasta afterward. Also, I didn't get my main meal after being there for 1.5 hours (even though I reminded the person who took our order, and he said he would check). Later, our waitress apologized and said the meal that I didn't get would be served at the bowling alley and would be on the house. My drink was also complimentary. I didn't have to pay my share for the bowling (I'm not sure if it was because of my birthday or if it was part of their apology). Yes, they messed up our order twice, but they made it up to me, which I appreciate.The bowling was okay, but the machines didn't work perfectly. A few times, it counted the pins toward my score even when I didn't hit them (or maybe it was another birthday gift?)“
“The best pizzas you can expect in Washington D.C. I assure you there's no one better. But people just love it. It's always packed and the pizzas never disappoint. It's a must-try for someone looking for a great pizza take out.“
“Visited this place in DC last weekend with family and it's the best! The pre-dinner bar experience was delightful with excellent martinis. The waiter made it special by asking about our celebration. With a party of seven, we tried different entree's and everyone was impressed with the quality and portions size. The waiter was helpful with menu suggestions. We felt right at home 10/10, definitely coming back !“
“Our server, Frank was incredibly welcoming and kind. We had some lovely conversation with him throughout the meal and enjoyed the service, courses, and the overall atmosphere. Each course was paired well with Audrey's Wine pairing and the dishes were stunning.“
“I really wanted to give a 5 star review because the food was incredible, however the service was slow for the price point. Plus, the 4% surcharge added onto the bill is deceptive. Our waiter explained that instead of raising their menu prices, they just tack on the fee. However, it’s not clear on the menu what exactly this fee goes towards. Why not just raise the price by $2 and stop fooling customers?I’d come back for the food for take away or to sit outside- the inside was cramped and very loud.“
“Checked out San Lorenzo for the first time the other night - I have been in DC for years, but just recently moved to the Shaw neighborhood and had heard good things about this spot. Christina the GM was super friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcome and the bartender I spoke to, Efron, gave some great menu recommendations. The Seafood Linguine was fantastic! Will absolutely be back.“
“We were bowled over by this place. We got there at 4.45pm as a walk in and were sat straight at the bar. Get there early if you want a seat! The food was absolutely outstanding, but Andrew the lovely bar waiter was the highlight of the night for us. He was so warm. informative and professional. Very much recommended.“
“We are obsessed with Revelers hour! It’s so cozy inside and the food is always delicious - the garlic knots are a must. Great alternative to tail up goat , more food for less price! Our waiter was great at selecting wines for our table. Also good for vegetarians too - plenty of options I could choose from! The tortelli and the ceaser are some of our favorites.Vegetarian options: Multiple pastas and appetizers for vegetarians!“
“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.“
“Went for the first time tonight, with my wife and son. We recently moved to the area and had been missing authentic Italian sandwiches; no longer! This place is fantastic. We tried a few of the cold cut subs and antipasto platter. Perfection. Love the soft roll bread and spicy relish they use, too. Can't wait to try the pizza next time, it looked amazing.“
“The ambiance of the restaurant is romantic, with flower bouquets and beautiful paintings. For the appetizers that we ordered, the portions were very small but the food was good. The duck confit was sweet, the ravioli sauce was great, the french onion soup was standard, and the crab cake sauce was delicious but very small. Free desert came with small samples of chocolate mouse and raspberry cake.“
“Stopped by and ordered the Fumo Pizza and Black Truffle Pizza, along with the free Margherita Pizza. The pizza tastes fresh, and enjoyed the texture and flavors of each pie. My favorite was the Margherita. Definitely will come back to try the other pizzas.“
“Great place to go with friends or family cute intimate little setting staff was great we showed up with a last-minute reservation, They got us in on a Friday night. The owner is in the front of the house and he takes care of all his customers like family, highly recommend going, don’t rush and enjoy all they have to offer…“
“Absolutely loved the place and the pizza. I got the honey Sriracha chicken pizza and they have a ton of condiments to add to your liking. Plus it was free ice cream day so they let me pick one as well. Lady behind the counter was super friendly as well. 11/10“
“The service is top-notch. They're very passionate and committed to quality Neapolitan food and it shows. Servers are very nice and attentive. I had the prosciutto and cantaloupe for an appetizer, which also comes with arugula. Very fresh and delicious. I decided to go with the veggie pizza, which tasted divine. The tiramisu and americano were dessert. Again, well-done!!!“
“Was on a trip to the area in April and had dinner at the Shirlington location. I am still telling people about the best eggplant parmesan I have ever had! Everything was excellent! Definitely would recommend to people going that way. I only wish I had picked up something from their shop to bring home with me for another time.“
“Beautiful restaurant overlooking the water, outstanding service, and amazing seafood. I had read some of the reviews that were less than stellar but everything that we ordered was fantastic. We started off with their eggplant appetizer, which was full roasted eggplant -- delicious. For the main entree, I was debating between their grilled calamari and the scallops and the server recommended we share a half portion of the calamari and get the scallops. Great recommendation. The scallops were out of this world and a generous portion too. My wife's fish was delicious as well. No complaints about anything. The prices are a bit on the higher side but it's worth it when the food and the ambiance matches expectations. A definite 5 star for me.“
“Una esperienza indimenticabile! Sergio è davvero un gran signore, attento ad ogni minima esigenza del cliente, gentile e disponibile con una innata classe italiana. Il cibo è superlativo, di altissima qualità, cucinato in maniera perfetta. La mise en place impeccabile, Tiramisù e cantucci per concludere una magnifica serata . Consigliatissimo“
“We recently discovered this hidden gem, and we were absolutely thrilled with everything! Can’t wait yo try their Sunday brunch!For my kid's birthday party, we decided to order from Emi Rossi, and the pies were a huge hit with all the guests. It's easily our favorite pizza place so far!“
“Great food, super cute and chic ambiance, and easy, prompt service. The menu has all the classics of an upscale Italian restaurant and the flavors + portions don't disappoint! I had the Burrata, the mushroom pasta, and the broccolini - all were well prepared and delicious. The price point is certainly on the higher side but nonetheless it's a cute and cosy spot that I hope to be back to soon. Glad to have this option in the neighborhood!“
“Took my kids to the Tidal Basin, and we decided to make it very special by having late lunch at this cute restaurant. The food is tasty, the service is great [our waiter Josean was amazing!] and thw charm of a cozy restaurant was thw cherry on top!“
“Phenomenal experience. We will absolutely keep coming back until we have had a chance to try everything on the menu! The food was top tier and the staff truly raise the bar for hospitality. This will be the restaurant that we take out of town guests to, because if you're only in DC for a short time, this is the one restaurant that you can't miss!“
“I ordered a couple sandwiches for pick-up and they were delicious! I tried the Capo Special and it was a great take on an Italian sub with slightly different meats. The bread was very good, holding everything together well even with oil and vinegar. My colleague had a cheesesteak and seemed to like it.These were both huge sandwiches for the price!The person working there when we picked up was very nice.“
“My son and I ate at Bacio today and let me say we had a wonderful experience. We sat on the cute patio and it was so peaceful and quiet, you wouldn’t know you were in the middle of DC. The server was friendly and attentive. I liked the alcohol selection, and had wine. We enjoyed mozzarella sticks which we could tell were made in house and not just reheated from frozen like in most other places. The pizza my son got was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed my arugula salad with shrimp. I wish they were a little more cooked but that is a personal preference. The desserts very very good too, we really liked the limoncello raspberry cake. We really highly recommend this place and we can’t wait to go back!“
“Idlywood is a favorite spot for dinner. The service is excellent, with a good selection of wines and an atmosphere that permits conversation at normal speaking levels. We tried a couple of new dishes as well as a favorite appetizer (shrimp ajo) and salmon Caesar. We haven't been disappointed in any of the salmon selections. The branzino is also a favorite. The chicken parmesan, a new item , was especially good. Highly recommended.“
“A favorite of mine in DC. I hadn't been since before the pandemic, and was happy to see that everything which made the restaurant good was still present. A well-rounded menu, a very good wine selection with a range of price points and the always excellent service. The food is so good, and the care taken by the staff is top notch. You don't feel rushed, get to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.“
“We had a late lunch, so not busy. Food was excellent. Service was good, as was the atmosphere. I feel to judge it thoroughly and truly, I should go at peak hours. However, I would definitely go again, and I have already recommended it to a friend.“
“Not only the quality is top notch, the consistency between their locations is even more admirable. I can go to any location and be happy. When you combine quality, creativity, knowledge, skills, the love and passion in what they do, this is what makes my stellina my home.“
“They definitely don't do things by half measures here, this place is flamboyant in the best way. Huge portion sizes, huge amount of decorations, huge hospitality. We went during spring and they had Easter decorations EVERYWHERE. Started off with their meatballs, which were tender and flavorful (loved the marinara sauce they used). I ordered the lobster cardinale, which was like if you married a really good lobster bisque together with pasta. It's pricey but they don't skimp on the quality of the ingredients (has giant chunks of perfectly cooked lobster). Definitely recommend. My sister had the sausage rigatoni, which was also very good, although didn't stand out to me as much. For dessert, we got the hazelnut cake, and our waiter even gave us some complimentary amaretto, which was a really nice way to finish the meal.“
“RPM definitely hit the spot. They have an amazing happy hour menu at the bar (drinks and apps from 3-530pm, 7 days a week). Pizza was small but a good app. It gets packed, make sure you get there early. Steaks were amazing and the service put it over the top (in a good way). If you are looking for great pasta and steak, this is the spot. Price wise, this is what you expect a resturant like this to be. I will be frequenting for sure.“
“We have been a few times over the years the experience is always great. The staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious, we have always enjoyed our meals. Take your time and take it in. We always like to just slow things down a bit and enjoy when we visit. It will be on the more expensive side but worth the cost.Parking: Paid parking but Validated up to 2 hours. Small garage underneath/near the restaurant.“
“Came here randomly on a Friday since one of my friends wanted to try it and I was blown away. Did not have a reservation but I was lucky enough to find a seat at the bar. (It gets busy so book a reservation in advance). The restaurant is inside a house so you are separated in small groups in each room, which I really enjoyed. First thing I ordered was the expresso martini, and it was one of the best expresso martinis I had. Our bartender Ron was a joy. He was awesome and made our visit 10xs better. He recommended all the best dishes, and was very patient with us while we were ordering. The whole staff was super friendly. The food was just amazing as service. Started off with some meatballs, tuna bites, and wood fired oysters. I did not take pictures unfortunately since I was hungry and dug in immediately. The meatballs were amazing and would recommend anyone to order those if visiting. They come with 3 meatballs so heads up. Personally I'm not a seafood person but I did enjoy the tuna bites. For the main course ordered the house pizza, the Penne alla vodka pasta, and the bolognese pasta. Personally those were all amazing and I couldn't tell you which one I enjoyed most. You can't go wrong with any of those, and order all of them if you can because they were all delicious. Safe to say that I will be back, and will be back to try the steak and other dishes that are offered.“
“Gregorio's is the perfect neighborhood Italian Restaurant. After living in Bronx and eating where the "Goodfellas" eat, Gregarios is a close match. Pizza is awesome. All dishes are savory and plentiful. Had the Veal chop thisbb by past weekend...Superior! It gets crowded so make a reservation“
“Casual dining heaven...what a find! This cozy spot is close to Clemyjontri playground (my nice and nephew love) ticked all the boxes for a laid-back dinner. Despite the hustle and bustle, the staff managed to seat us promptly, and their friendly demeanor added to the inviting atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the food - simply delicious! The pasta selection was impressive, and the build-your-own-pasta option was a hit with our group. And for those craving something classic, the chicken parm didn't disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of Peroni 0.0 - a perfect choice for a non-alcoholic drinker (like myself that evening). In summary, if you're in the area and craving some comfort food in a relaxed setting, this spot is a must-visit. We'll definitely be returning for more pasta perfection. And as always, go Caps! #bubblytip: Great spot to go with children“
“Went to Angelo’s Pizza Pasta and Deli for the first time not too long ago and the service was immaculate. Everyone is very nice, they get your order done on time even offer saples while you wait! I got the spaghetti with meatballs and it was fantastic. Although it’s not restaurant or five star food it’s just like Mom’s cooking. A well home-made dish that you can’t beat for the price. Will be going again soon!“
“The staff were all welcoming from the start. The food was AMAZING! The owner came to our table to check on our evening. We were very happy and I must say the Filet Mignon with balsamic glaze was one of the best I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten at 3 star Michelin restaurants . The evening was important to us as we got engaged that day. I highly recommend this wonderful little jewel of a restaurant !!“
“A first date cancelled on my 20 minutes before we were supposed to meet. My super sweet server consoled me and even gave me a free dessert. The whole staff was unbelievably nice, and my Monday night half price pizza was delish. I've also had the pasta in the past and thought it was great, too. Cozy decor. I recommend.“
“I called in for a to-go order on a rainy Wednesday night, and got a small meat lovers pizza with lemon cake. I don't think the pizza was worth it as it reminded me of dry frozen pizza that I could've baked myself for a fraction of the cost. The lemon cake was delicious however! The owners were very sweet when I went to pick up my food and even gave me a small discount-- an even $20 instead of $21 and some change haha. I would come back to try their cheesesteaks, but would avoid the pizza in all honesty.“
“SUCH delicious food made with wholesome fresh ingredients. You taste it in every bite.Boyfriend and I stopped in spontaneously and ordered a pepperoni pizza with pesto cubes, meatballs with fresh bread, and pesto pistachio fettuccine. Everything was so heavenly, I'm kicking myself for not trying this place sooner.Restaurant itself is very casual, which I appreciate as well! It's a cozy vibe.“
“The bbq chicken pizza was amazing! It is a little confusing walking inside. It’s set up like a sit down and order, but it’s not. There are two tablets blending into the wall to the right as you walk in. There is also another one towards the back. The place is clean. The staff is not extra friendly but also not rude.“
“My family loves Tartufo and the restaurant owner. This neighborhood restaurant has always served consistently delicious dinners! We have dined at Tartufo as many as 30 times over the years. Since the Covid-19 pandemic we have ordered our Saturday night dinners from your restaurant on 4 different occasions. Every meal has been fantastic. My family wants you to know how enjoyable and delicious your meals are. We all have favorites dishes on your menu that we order! Please know how much we love Tartufo and how grateful we are that you are located in our very own neighborhood. It is a treat to have such a wonderful restaurant in walking distance of where we live and to ALWAYS have outstanding meals!! We will continue to support this fine restaurant and use the carry out services for as long as needed during the pandemic. We send the owner our best wishes! Sincerely, Rob“
“Went here with a friend on a Thursday. We made reservations online which I recommend because it can get crowded around dinner time. Then started bread was good. I got this gnocchi truffle pasta and my friend got bolognese. She really liked hers! I did enjoy mine but it felt like it was missing just a little extra flavor. It was still a good experienc. Sat the patio which was heated and very nicely decorated. I’d love to come back and try other pastas!“
“Went there with a group of friends for a Sunday brunch. The waiter talked us into trying the Buono Buono Brunch since there were four of us. We decided to give it a shot, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision. We were worried about there, being too much food with the seven courses, but each course had the right amount of food for each of us. We left, feeling satisfied, not stuffed.The presentation of everything was great and the flavors were excellent. While I’m not a huge fan of Italian food, this would have me coming back for more. I would highly recommend this for a Sunday brunch of a party of four or more. You won’t be disappointed.“
“My husband and I went to Alta Strada for dinner before a show at the Capital One Arena. It was amazing. Their staff and team were so sweet and so much fun. They are clearly very passionate about customer service and their food! We loved our entire experience and already decided to make that our go to spot before shows!!“

“Walked in without reservations but they were happy to seat us at the bar. Cocktails were amazing and beautifully done, the bartender was great and very friendly! Food was delicious - we had the fried mozzarella as an appetizer, and the carbonara and chicken piccata. Didn’t try dessert but the entrees were incredible and very authentic-tasting, would highly recommend!“
“Terra Mare is a great little place in the heart of Wheaton. It's got a decent spread of Italian fare, including brick oven pizzas, which they make right there in the open part of the kitchen. The cocktails there are decent, and the service is always friendly and great.“
“Very delicious Napolitano foodVery well cooked with care and attentionTraditional Italian restaurant with emphasis on real Italian not Italian-American dishes.Very good servers.Owners are involved in operations and engaging with diners.The cream for pasta was well made, not taste thick and waxy.And pizza was wonderful.Drink options are good.Great place for family, couples, social, and semi formal dining.Can't find a flaw or fault in this fine establishment.??????????️Highly recommended from someone who does not eat Italian foods often.“
“The service starts as you are greeted at the door by the attentive hostess, escorted to your seat, met by the waiter and provided your clean menus, another server asks for drinks and they are brought immediately. Right away, you order is taken and then comes the fresh, tasty bread, butter and sauce. And then the appetizer arrives steaming hot, right out of the kitchen. Followed by a waiter quietly refilling the water and ice tea. From the back corner and behind a barrier the manager is looking across the medium-size restaurant floor and bar area for anyone in need of service. He addresses everything quietly. Noone hovers over the guests, instead the servers constantly check your drinks and quietly refill them. Their manners and service are consistent. Without exception they each say please, may I, thank you and so on. This crew is well-trained and very good at what they do. And again, timely, the food came out and both dishes were hot from the kitchen. I was warned my plate was hot and we were offered another serving of parmesan and oil bread dip. A loud noise from a delivery driver is blaring music in the foyer and the manager immediately addresses it as he should. The food was excellent, tasty, not just heated up, not generic, not bland. Its refreshing to visit a new restaurant and enjoy a new and good taste. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, with a good ambiance, the correct background music at the proper volume. And all the staff were consistently masked and careful on how they seated people with seperation without being too obvious. This was our first time visiting. The customers were varied, maybe 26-30 in number around 8 pm. There were families, couples and dates and so on. We recommend this place. It's a bit far for us but we definitely intend on returning. As for the cost, it was right in line with all the Italian restaurants.“
“We love Gregorio’s in Potomac and much prefer that location. We feel like family there. We decided to try this location and I have to say, it’s really not the same at all. The food was fine, not quite as good (for example the pasta was not al dente and was soggy and overcooked, the bread was not warm). The service on Sangamore just doesn’t feel personal, attentive or warm. Something is missing. I wouldn’t recommend this location but would highly recommend a visit to Potomac!“
“Our server was very sweet but also very slow. For example, it took a very long time for bread and drinks to come out and the glass of wine I ordered came out after I had finished my meal. Everyone's dinner was delicious and decently priced(but no one was in love with the desserts).“
