                                                Ordered scallops as an appetizer and a duck breast entree. Both meals came out great, no complaints. Service was good and attentive, but a mistake was made with overcharging for drinks. It was likely an honest error which was promptly corrected upon my request yet made me wondering as the place was not busy, hence minus one star.

                                                Overall it was a wonderful experience. Low noise level; was an ideal setting for a first date.

                                                A quaint Italian restaurant tucked away in a DC neighborhood not far from Logan circle. A great place to celebrate a special occasion, but not super suited to little kids. Both the crab and lamb ravioli were delicious and not heavy on the sauce. The tiramisu was also big enough to share and the Touch of caramel sauce on the plate elevated this traditional dessert.

                                                First of all. Pay attention with your creditcard. They don't work met pin. You've to sign. They go with your creditcard to their office, you don't see what happens, you sign the check and two days afterwards they charged two times a different amount. I(ve been only once there. I didn't know this happens in these times in a restaurant of OpenTable. I've sent two emails without any response. One side of the restaurant (the side of tourists) is very dark. Scallopino in a Italian restaurant is served with pasta and not with synthetic mashed potatoes.
