We love La Tomate! The food is amazing and the service is great! When you go to a restaurant on a somewhat regular basis, it’s rewarding to see the the quality of the food never changes. Last night we sat outside and enjoyed watching people going by.

Sunday night 8pm dinner. Guess Dupont Circle is not what it used to be. But that's perfect for a quiet dinner and visit with a dear friend. Menu is so much more interesting than most Italian places in town and the waiters were sufficiently attentive and sensitive to our need for service as well as privacy to visit. Definitely plan to come back esp during the quieter hours. Restaurants these days are just TOO ENERGETIC for my sanity and meaningful conversation at the table.

I have been visiting this restaurant for over 30 years....and it still impresses. Jose was our server last night and he made the evening very special! He knew his menu and we enjoyed all his suggestions...make sure you have the chocolate salami to share with who you are dining with! The owner is so very sweet and she still greets you when you enter....we were early and she kindly accommodated us, in my favorite seating area which is the glassed in wedge...there is outdoor seating too! The pappardelle with duck sauce is as delicious as the sauce made in Vicenza, Italy...my partner had the lamb chops...a work of art...I love Ripasso and the bottle we shared was excellent...also, I had been to that vineyard so it was extra special...I love the ambiance, as the sun sets the room has a soft glow and all that glass is enchanting. So, once again, an excellent dinner, an excellent server, a special time.
