    One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. The food was amazing from start to finish. We loved the grape leaves, rice cakes, tuna, quail, and cabbage. The large plate was terrific with the pork meatballs and broth the star of the show. Our waitress along with the rest of the kitchen staff was also the best. I definitely recommend this restaurant in DC.

    Took my wife for brunch on her birthday. Staff was very friendly. Manager came to table to make sure everything was good. The drinks were especially good. Service was quick and tentative. I plan on revisiting and if you haven't been to Limani and highly recommended a visit. My next visit will be during dinner.

    Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

    Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!
