Made a 9:15 reservation for 2 for desert and drinks (there were plenty of reservations open). The guy at the door basically said if we are coming for dessert and drinks he wouldn’t typically sit us and we would have had to make a later reservation (what’s the point in telling us that if you’re going to seat us) anyway, we are seated and order a bottle of wine and 3 desserts. However because of the mayors mandates all alcohol has to be taken off the table at 10. By the time we were seated and ordered it was just after 9:30 and it wasn’t until the bottle was opened and poured that the server told us we basically had to finish our bottle in 20 minutes. We felt taken advantage of because if we would have been told that at the time of ordering the bottle then we obviously would have just ordered 2 glasses. Nonetheless, I had the server hovering at 9:58 having me chug my wine.
I understand there’s nothing that can be done about the mandate but it was all handled inappropriately...and back to the guy at the door...how much later of a reservation would I of had to make since I already was rushed out?
Our server was great and very kind but definitely took advantage of the situation.
The best place in DC for that ‘special’ evening. Peter was a great host and the Osso Bucco was perfectly done.
This is a fantastic place and was recently recommended to my husband. I can’t believe we didn’t know about this jewel! The food and service were impeccable! We will, without a doubt, be back soon!
Amazing food, nice atmosphere, helpful staff. Will be back for sure. Everything is delicious but the Linguini Cardinale is truly special (if you like lobster).
Our experience was very positive as it was my 40th birthday. The entire service and our waiter were very kind, helpful and fun! They sang me happy birthday. Thank you so much for being there for my milestone birthday celebration! The food as always was excellent!
Amazing atmosphere and amazing food. I wholeheartedly recommend.
Most beautiful Christmas decorations of any restaurant in DC. So happy we were able to be there before the shut down. Awesome service and food was wonderful. Love it!
Absolutely fantastic meal and wonderful experience.
Wonderful as always!!! Our favorite time to visit the restaurant when it’s all decorated for Christmas!! Food, service and atmosphere are all great!!!
Awesome as usual. So glad we were able to enjoy our regular holiday tradition
First time at Filomena’s but it won’t be our last. Food was excellent. We also wanted to eat at a restaurant with lots of decorations! It did not disappoint! Everything was outstanding!!
Best Italian and service in DC. Filomena never disappoints

Best place at Christmas time! Authentic Italian
Friend’s Holiday Dinner
Filomena was definitely a hit. The food was fantastic, and the service was very good. It’s a great place for a date night, especially around Christmas time as the restaurant is amazingly decorated (probably the best in DC). Overall, would highly recommend.
Pleased we were able to continue our annual tradition of a family Christmas dinner at Filomenas. I was impressed with how they had spaces the tables and installed barriers between tables. Always love the decorations, delicious food and complimentary after dinner cordials
Wonderful as always. The Christmas decorations were beautiful - the food the best ever as was the service.
Outstanding evening for my daughter's 18th birthday! Service was great, food delicious, Christmas decorations amazing as always and they did a great job with social distancing and creating a safe environment considering the current situation. Highly recommend Filomena! Oustanding authentic Italian food! Filomena offers a dining experience.
Best Italian food in DC. While their prices are not the lowest, their portions are some of the largest you'll find. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good, quality pasta dishes.
Food never disappoints and service is impeccable.
Very good once again. The food is fantastic, service was spot on. The decorations for Christmas made the place fell festive. The entree's are huge, enough for 2 people. Keep that in mind when ordering.
Best customer service, amazing food, great experience
Ever hung was great but the servers weren’t very friendly.
Everything was excellent!
To me I thought the restaurant did not adhere to social distancing. I felt uncomfortable the entire time. I think tables should have been skipped or spread out.
OMG; definitely the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been too. Our server Peter was awesome, knowledgeable, & gave great recommendations.
Service and food is always exceptional. COVID protocols being followed with some extra precautions at the table.
Always a highlight when we visit from California. LOVE Filomena dining!
A District tradition! Great wine list, wonderful food, all things with lobster are divine. That with the ambiance and friendly, fun interaction with our waiter made for a delightful late lunch.
You will not be disappointed. Perfect venue for whatever your occasion. Absolutely wonderful.
Amazing Italian food
We truly enjoy coming here; it’s more of a yearly tradition than anything. Although times are different they managed to keep the vibe the same...with safety and cleanliness evident.
Wonderful food, ambiance, and feeling like family
