Tis is the first time the two of us have eaten there - early on a Monday evening. The place was very quiet as there were not many people there. (I like quiet!) It will probably be noisier when it is closer to capacity. The food was excellent and the service could not be better. Loved it!

This is quite a hidden Jen. The egg plant starter, as well as carbonara are really delicious.

Restaurant Week. The restaurant week menu, though rich, was terrific value. The restaurant is spacious, it was quiet (when we went there were no rowdy tables). The service was fine. Portions filling. A great deal. I can’t comment on the regular menu.

Decided to check out this new place for Restaurant Week - totally worth it! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for Italian food. I don’t know exactly what was in the olive oil with the bread but simply amazing. The melanzana and lobster diavola simply divine. Chafik was a super attentive and friendly server. Definitely sit in his area.

My favourite restaurant to visit in DC! This is my second time at Talea and the staff remembered me from my last visit. The staff here is so attentive and the service is 10/10. The food is also delicious. I specifically went back for the lobster ravioli. Can’t wait to go back for more!!!
