    This is a really happy place - good food, lively conversations going on all around, good service - and the price is very fair. The location is nicely situated on a fairly busy corner with beautiful windows overlooking downtown DC.

    The food was absolute perfection. The fresh guaq was phenomenal. The fish taco was so delicious it required ordering another one! We were seated early and the entire wait staff was welcoming and professional. They set the standard for authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend!

    Really enjoyed our meal at RPM Italian. I wish I could remember our waiters name, he was excellent. Very attentive to what we needed. The food was excellent. Ricotta spread with focaccia bread was a great start. The brussels sprout salad was huge and delicious. I wanted to eat it all because it was so good but needed room for my Cacio e pepe pasta dish. Would definitely recommend this place.
