Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Foggy Bottom

Rashad’s service was amazing! He has a welcoming personality, knew the menu, and offered great suggestions. Through his recommendations we had the espresso martini, lobster, shrimp, crab stuffed tortellini, the garlic bread. Everything was amazing and we would love to the Valentine’s Day pasta on the full menu, it was all we could talk about that night. Thank you for a delicious experience!

Always a great meal at this restaurant. I recommend it without reservation or hesitation.

We LOVED LOVED this place! You can tell people love eating there. As soon as we walked in, it was extremely booked with people even waiting outside. We were lucky enough to find an open table for that evening. If you do consider eating here PLEASE MAKE RESERVATIONS! The plates are HUGE!! They can feed 2 people and you will still have enough to take home. Our waitress Nadia, was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, attentive, and sweet. We were visiting D.C for the weekend, but I sure wish they had a restaurant down in FL! The 4 cheese pasta was beyond words! So much creaminess, the perfect amount of cheese, and you can tell it was made with love! And the zuppa di mussels (to die for!) such abundance of different flavors coming together! Truly loved this place, will definitely eat here again the day we return. Great job to everyone who works at the restaurant, you can truly tell everyone loves what they do. Chef, youre food is amazing!!!

The drinks, food, atmosphere, and service were 10/10. Extra shout out for moving my reservation two times the last minute on what is probably the busiest day of the year (Valentine's day). We are definitely making this place a staple. Elegant, modern/hip vibe and very professional service.

Fantastic evening with my wife we truly enjoyed our experience. The service fee was a surprise . but in the end, the service was excellent and well worth it.
