Looking for a heart dish? Look no further than the spectacular Wild Boar Tagliatelle made with san marzano tomato , english peas , oyster mushrooms .
Beautifully plated and equally delicious Black Gnocchi with lobster cream, roasted peppers , Andouille sausage , & rock shrimp is a great starter!
The Arancini with sundried tomatoes , mozzarella , sweet sausage , & smoked garlic aioli are just what you're looking for!
This was an amazing place. Bill, our waiter was the best!!!! He recommended the lobster with squid ink pasta , and I was in awe. The best squid pasta I've ever had. Would definitely recommend this!
Don't leave without having the wonderful Tiramisu !
The Bitches Say: A+. Comfortable and cozy , yet upscale , with house-made Italian pastas , heavenly carbs, great menu options, and impeccable service . Winner of the Best Mom and Pop Brunch Award of 2013!
The fettuccine with Swiss chard and cherry tomatoes tastes great! The ambiance is amazing with a feel of home. Staff is definitely nice and experienced.
When the lamb gnocchi is on the menu, GET IT! They're not always consistent with how well the meat is done, but nonetheless its worth the risk.
Get the black gnocchi as an appetizer and the Gay Wedding as a cocktail . Fantastic. Everything, including the service, was tremendous - great way to end a long week.
A VIP croaked at dinner , landing face first in a plate of lasagna ! The police brought in Dito for questioning, but I deduced that the murderer was actually a rival restaurateur on 17th Street.
If you get off late and need a few plus a relaxing spot this is the place! The bartender is nice and knows how to make a drink!
Blackened gnocchi and lamb gnocchi are both AMAZING!!!
Great Italian food and half priced wine nights — we loved the pastas , fried Brussels sprouts & salmon
Love this place. Grab a drink in the cute downstairs bar and head out to them patio for dinner .
Fig and caramelized onion pasta is shaped like candy in wrappers, but isn't too sweet. Set off by goat cheese sauce and olive oil .
Food was good although a little small on the serving size. Plan on getting a few courses if you are hungry. Front window seat on second floor was nice and cozy . Service was good. Ran out of tea .
All bottles of wine are 1/2 price Sunday and Wednesday evenings, open-close!
The Tuna Tartare was amazing as was the Veal Cannelloni !
Join us for DC Restaurant Week! Enjoy our special $35 dinner available January 13th-19th.
If you like tuna , definitely start with the tartare . I loved the gnocchi with wild roasted boar .
Short rib ravioli is a bit bitter, but lobster tagliarini is amazing
Great lasagna . Come for half priced wine nights .
Black gnocchi appetizer is delightfully spicy and filet mignon tortellini decadent and delicious.
The Filet Mignon , medium rare, is excellent!
Caramelized onions & fig caramele were amazing!
The arugula salad is to die for! As well as the parsley pesto that accompanies the bread . Service was A+ as well .
Make a reservation for dinner . Pretty busy. Nice, but small, bar downstairs. Delicious food.
Great food, cute place, good wine !
Surprisingly affordable Sunday brunch . Great location and food.
All pasta is made in house and menu changes depending on season and what local market has to offer.
Sunday gravy is a must!
They do good job with the food, portions are a little lite though.
Verrry pricey for somewhat mediocre Italian food . I could barely taste the truffle oil in the risotto I had gotten
Ask Dito for a wine recommendation. Never steers me wrong.
Half-price wine on Sundays and Wednesdays !
Great pumpkin pappardelle bolognese !!
The food is amazing and the service impeccable. If you like a manhattan , try the Moma.
everything you order is delicious
The Zucca is wonderful & the MoMa's (Manhattnas) are smooth like water.
The Tortellini Mignon!
Strange vibrations of the building are disturbing. It seems like there is an endless train under the earth.
Make sure to try the Lobster Bruschetta Mussels appetizers
Italian with a side of complaintsDespite its location and cheery atmosphere, the service does not come with a smile and many think the food tends to be overpriced.
Ask for Chad, sit outside, enjoy the pee meal bread and homemade "pesto ."
Ask for Chad. He did a great job taking care of us.
Sunday is half priced wine bottles.decent modern italian and creative
