    We made reservations several weeks prior. We found the food to be average and the setting has little or no ambiance. The establishment has jammed way to many tables in such a small place as others have noted. I should have heeded that warning but often service covers up a deficiency. The food was grossly overcooked an lacked the depth of real italian cooking. It was presented in a chain restaurant fashion and the large portions of cheaper pasta hid the lack of quality main dish ingredients. Service; We were initially seated at a booth that had a damaged or protruding seat that was hurting my wife’s back. We immediately asked for another table before any service. The head waiter, had to get permission from the manager. Strike one (come on, would you say no?) Once he got permission, we were sat at the table right next to the kitchen door in an act of retribution. Mind you we passed several nice two person tables on our way to purgatory. It was obvious we challenged their egalitarian view of themselves. A restaurant that takes this kind of action upon their patrons should be steered clear of. Strike two and three, YOU WON! Highly recommend you dine at other Italian restaurants close by. Their ambience and settings are ten fold. Food was marginal atmosphere was hectic and it is nearly impossible to have a conversation in the space.

    The food and service were outstanding, and the ambiance had a unique, charming vibe that really set the scene. It was quite loud around 7pm, but given that it was a Sunday dinner at a bustling Italian restaurant, that lively energy was part of the experience.

    Authentic home style Italian cooking! Portions are huge so don’t eat anything before going to there unless you want to take out half of your meal. Great wine section

    My birthday dinner. I should have walked out the door the moment I began to smell the stench of dirty carpet or mop water I still can’t place it but I’m probably going to say the carpet. The place was really loud. You couldn’t hear yourself think and very dim you needed a light to read. I ordered two bottles of wine a bottle of Amarone Zenato 164 dollars and a bottle of Brunello 130 dollars the wines were perfect. Appetizers we had meatballs and cured meats and cheese. The meatballs were good. The meat and cheese board was littered with cheap meats and canned vegetables. First course we had the Lobster Ravioli with Cardinale sauce which is just vodka sauce it looks like. They had the nerve to charge 60 dollars for 8 ravioli with 2 mini pieces of lobster claw meat. Last we had the veal chop which was just straight out disgusting. It had hardly no mozzarella and the sauce was nasty. We left it and my wife had enough with the smell. We had just received the second bottle of wine and my wife wanted to leave, so I asked for the check and we left. I can’t blame her the smell was really nasty. Place need to be fumigated. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like if that’s what it smells like in the dining room. The bill was 500 dollars 100 dollar tip. I paid and we left. This place needs a visit from a health inspector. I definitely will never go back and most certainly would never embarrass myself recommending this place. It deserves zero stars.

    Whenever my hubby and I are in DC we always make it a point to go to Filomena. It is by far our favorite Italian restaurant. There is no other that comes close !!
