Walked in, confirmed my reservation and was shown to a high top table in a bar area. Later found out that there was a dining room with proper tables and chairs that I wasn't made aware of. Spoke to the MatreD about the lack of information given to me and was told next time you come you can sit in the adult section. Won't be back.

We try something new every time. It’s all wonderful. But you have to get the lobster caprese and the garlic mashed potatoes for sure.

RPM Italian delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The ambiance is sleek and modern, making it a great spot for a date night or special occasion. I’d absolutely recommend going if you’re in DC and looking for high-quality Italian cuisine. That said, just be prepared for a slower-paced dining experience. The service, while friendly and professional, wasn’t the fastest—so I’d suggest going when you’re not in a rush and can relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, it’s worth the visit and I’d definitely go back!

We were celebrating our anniversary and it was a nice surprise to have a glass of prosecco, the menu wishing us a happy anniversary and the miniature ice cream cone. Great attention to details that made us feel special.

We had a lovely evening last night at RPM. We started off with the bread with sea salt and then ordered to wagyu beef carpaccio which was delicious. My husband ordered the crab pasta and I ordered the short rib bolognese. Our only complaint was the desserts. We ordered the carrot cake and the doughnuts and both were not great. The cake had no flavor and the doughnuts were extremely doughy. The service was good not great. She server had another big table of 12 who consumed most of her time. My husband ordered a drink and it was served after his meal was finished. Not ideal. The esthetic of the restaurant is beautiful. Would definitely go back
