   Not the best pizza we've ever had (we are from Chicago) but great service, great ambience, and a really nice place to sit outside and have a relaxing meal.

   Wonderful woody setting at R and 17th in NW DC. Outside seating, which was fortunate as inside is a tad dingy with Arctic AC. Could be made much more comfortable, however. Friendly, efficient service. Ordered glasses of pretty expensive/mediocre Malbec followed by good seafood linguine. Unfortunately, my wife's linguine with shell-less clams was tasteless (presumed canned clams). Pretty awful. But, then, pleasantly surprised by the very good tiramisu and cannoli. Some Italian culinary expertise there. So, work to do on the entrees in the kitchen. Outside also looks a tad tatty, which is a shame for an excellent location with very good service that could be made much more attractive.

    The homemade pizza was delicious--just the right amount of crunch! The pasta puttanesca was salty, briny, flavorful. Pasta tasted housemade. Will definitely go again next time in DC!

    Great meal. Exceptionally responsive service, from our initial arrival and throughout our meal. We arrived in time for our 6 PM reservation (party of two), saying "our reservation is for six," thinking "6 o'clock," then waited a few extra minutes until we realized they had quickly arranged a table for six. After we had a wonderful bowl of minestrone, our waiter preempted any potential concerns about our main course being slightly delayed (not sure if we otherwise would have noticed), by providing a complementary second "Frose" for me (I had definitely enjoyed the first one). We thoroughly enjoyed our veal piccata and fettucine with tomato and vodka cream sauce dishes, as well as our cannoli and tiramisu desserts! Before I close, I want to restate that Jonathan was a very conscientious and excellent waiter.

    Making reservations was absolutely pointless! The restaurant was filled to capacity, the staff seemed unbothered and dismissive of our reservation, seated several parties WITHOUT a reservation before us, and merely suggested that we wait at the bar for 30 minutes for something to open up......I walked across the street and found immediate seating. I’ll probably NEVER go back to DuPont Italian Kitchen again.

    Went there since it was a place that had a shrimp pasta on the menu. Food was disappointing. Caesar salad was chopped oddly making it hard to eat. My daughter got shrimp alfredo for $20. There were 5 shrimp on it. I had the pasta puttanesca which was ok. I make it at home and wanted to compare and should not have. Service seemed to be a rush.

    The food was good. Everything else was not. Although the dining room was large and empty, we were seated at a small table for 2. The silverware was dirty. We were seated against a wall (also dirty) and our menus had food spots.....would not return

    It was nothing special, I went online to find a place that had pineapple on their pizza in which they advertised they did. My daughter is a very picky eater. We got there and they did NOT have pineapple. Warm beer... nothing fancy.

    Lots of tempting menu choices so it's hard to decide what to eat. Our waitress was very tolerant while tried to make up our minds. The portions are generous and the food is very tasty. Conveniently located for a pre- or post-theater meal when seeing a show at Theater J. We'll be back.

    Choose to go here as we were on holiday and saw some good reviews on trip advisor. The starters were a good size. I had a really good seafood pasta special, I really enjoyed it as there was not too much sauce and could taste the individual elements of the dish. The service was nice and quick and I liked the outside seating area.

    Was really disappointed this time around. Moved from DC a couple of years ago and returned for a conference. Went to one of my favorite restaurants only to have condescending and poor service, which is unusual for this place. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for dinner and instead of the server making suggestions or giving me a few more moments, he shrugged and gave a "come on, figure it out" message with his hands and body. Everyone has a bad day, but I'll think twice about returning.

    Dupont Italian Kitchen is a revered staple of the neighborhood. The food is always reliably delicious, the service friendly and prompt, and perhaps best of all, the prices are REASONABLE, which is such a rarity in this city. Menu specials are also wonderful and inventive and add a nice rotation to the standard Italian staples. As a DC native, this is one of my local treasures!
