Delightful neighborhood bistro. Loud noise can be a problem. Heavy wall hangings could help

Small restaurant near the Kennedy Center. Convenient for pre theater dinner. They have a price fix for theater goers.

Good food and friendly service. The service was a bit slow, though, for a restaurant catering to a theatre crowd.

The servers Fabrizio and Sukeyna always manage to make our dinner experience very pleasant. The noise level sometimes is a problem. Perhaps some thick wall hangings could help to lower the decibels.
