Restaurants near Sarah Rittenhouse Armillary Sphere

Great Italian restaurant with large portions (recommend sharing the entrees). Rich sauces. Great desserts. We come here every time we’re in DC. A must-do.

Hostess are amazing specially the Latin one , she is always so nice and acomodaring

Delicious food but perhaps slightly over seasoned. Wife had steak fritas (?) and I had trout Parmesan. Generous portion of fish, steak less so but huge, too large portion of fries with her steak. Reservations are hard to get for peak times unless you book early. We enjoyed our meal and would go back again.

Our server Douglas was spectacular. The brunch buffet was delicious and plentiful with many options. Their cinnamon roll in a cast iron skillet was awesome. if you are sitting outside with the fountain or near a window, the ambience would be great. Deeper inside the restaurant the ambience was lesser. The brunch had many breakfast options and lunch options, fruit, salad, and dessert. I was surprised the brunch didn't include coffee, tea or juice, but it was only $5 more for any of those.

I was disappointed that the brunch menu was discontinued but the sliders were pretty decent in size for being sliders. The peach ginger mule was really good and the man serving us gave me a brownie with ice cream because it was my birthday. Overall the venue was really nice and I would go again for sure.
