RPM Italian - DC

Wonderful experience! Marcus made it an even better experience!! Excellent food and drinks!

Service and food is always amazing

I've had multiple meals at RPM and have had a great experience with them all. Lunch is busy but the express menu is a terrific value. My only suggestion is less olive oil on the tuna bruschetta.
Everyone was welcoming and upbeat from the moment we walked in the door.

Family gathering

with all the rave, didn't find this to be anything out of the ordinary. ordered a prefix lunch which included an arugula salad, steak with panzanella salad and chocolate gelato. an Italian restaurant should know that panzanella salads do not contain romaine lettuce. (although mine did)

The food was amazing and has such good price value! It isn't overpriced like every other fancy restaurant with such great ambiance. the desserts are also very good and they have desserts with interactions too (flaming desserts). I went last Monday and about to go again next week. I highly recommend the meatballs for appetizers. One portion is 4 meatballs and is 10 dollars only! I will always go back for a fancy dinner out.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! RPM was recommended by an acquaintance who lives in the area and we are so glad we listened. It is on the pricier side but the quality of food was worth it. We were extremely pleased with everything we ordered from cocktails to appetizers to entree to dessert!

Host and Hostesses were quite patronizing for people who are working for 15 dollars an hour, I suggest you hire more hospitable people if you want to provide a better dinner ambiance. The Filet was also not worth 50 dollars, I was expecting more. Desserts were excellent and our waiter was very nice. We walked in before a group of older customers on time for our reservation but were still seated after, I suggest you treat young customers better if you want anyone under 45 years of age to legitimately enjoy their dining experience at this restaurant...

waiter was great
appetizers were great
sides were great
one of the main courses - fish was a bit overcooked
dessert was great

Much better this time around than my last experience (poor service the last time, waiter was so arrogant and quite rude), took a year before I got ready to go back. Our waiter this time was nice, friendly and funny. The food was excellent. I will go again.

Amazing food!

It was truly FANTASTIC! The pastas and steaks were great!! The ambiance was also outstanding!

Great food!

Went to celebrate my birthday- we had a long night of drinking and dancing so we just ordered salads and a bunch of apps. Meatballs are to die for!

Celebrating a birthday, even selected Birthday on OpenTable but our server totally overlooked it. Everyone else around us received the “special” occasion desser but us. Also, the wine selection for by the glass seem to be all sweet. Even the red sauce for pasta was sweet. The food did not wow me. But the ambience was what I expected.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at RPM. The staff was very attentive and the food was delicious! This was our first time at RPM and we hope to return when in the DC area again.

RPM continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in DC. The service and food are always top notch! This was my husband's first visit and even he wants to come back to try other items on the menu.

We had chosen this restaurant based on reviews and the designated gluten free menu since 2 in our party of 6 need to follow a gluten free diet. The restaurant was very quiet upon our arrival due to the mid afternoon timing of our reservation. The server who greeted us was welcoming and professional. That being said, we expected timely if not prompt service. Instead we waited 20 minutes for our drink order and almost an hour and a half for our entrees. When we inquired as to why there was a delay, we were told our entrees were being plated and would be served shortly. Unfortunately, the long wait time did detract from our overall experience so we will not be returning to this restaurant.

While I would recommend RPM to regular friends, as a celiac, I would think further about it.

Love this place so much, we went twice with five days.

Food was delicious, ambiance was gorgeous, service was top notch save for the fact that they were 30min late to seat us for our reservation...apparently this is a pattern for them.

The food was good, but the service was really slow and the restaurant was super loud.

Great service with command of the menu and personality

RPM never disappoints. From the quality of food to the quality of the staff I have always left very happy. And if you go, be sure to sign up for their rewards program, because you will want to go back.

This was my 3rd or 4th time visiting RPM and it overdelivered once again. The vibe, the food, and the service was amazing! Other restaurants in DC need to catch up!

The food and restaurant were excellent our waiter was a little slow. the restaurant is loud for an intimate evening but for a business gathering it worked out fine. I would recommend for work function or meeting friends but not a first date.

Had the best time on my birthday. I was initially sat at a table that was not my favorite. I let the host know and she accommodated us immediately, and moved us to a booth. I did enjoy our server, however he would interrupt us in the middle of conversation and eating, asking us about every 15 mins if we are done/still eating, and if we downloaded this LettuceEats app. We felt rushed, as if he was just trying to close his tab. Overall, I had the best time.

Food in my meal.
Service TERRIBLE

Great food, amazing service, nice ambience. Definitely coming back!

Fantastic service, drinks and food. Can’t wait to go back!

Had a great dinner! The service was spot on and everything we ordered was delicious. I would recommend eating here and will go back when I get the chance.

Wonderful experience! Our server was fantastic and the sommelier was very helpful. Amazing food!

RPM was incredible as always. I've been here more times than I can count and have never been disappointed. The servers are always so knowledgable and professional. We got the ricotta and bread, meatballs, shrimp scampi, bolognese, tortellini, short ribs, and donuts with nutella. I love how they always bring the mini ice cream cones complementary! Overall - just once again a great meal and wonderful place to go for any occasion!

A beautiful venue with absolutely delicious eats. We dined at the bar and our bartender was completely knowledgeable of the entire menu and pairings and made great recommendations on all. Pretty expensive but if you want fabulous, RPM can provide.

Beautiful place with wonderful food. Quick turnaround and enjoyable atmosphere

Matt was amazing - we gave him total control to order wine and some of our food selections.

It was another amazing meal and experience from RPM.

The food was delicious, and the portions were a good size. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave great answers to help us make the perfect choices for our meals.

Our waiter made th experience amazing!

Really good food, my husband had the lunch menu and loved everything except the dessert (ice cream) was amazing
I ordered from the regular menu and really like it. I really recommend the spicy crab and the cheesecake

Amazing!! I’m an Italian food snob and ever thing was fantastic. No a bad word to say about my meal. Our server Sean was great and very attentive. Can’t wait to go back
