The food and service were exquisite. The chef/owner frequently walks through the dining room engaging with the clientele ensuring that everything is of the utmost quality. There are a number of items on the menu that will bring me back over and over.

absolutely awful. Actually the most miserable experience I’ve ever had in DC. The food was mediocre and cold. every course took forever. I literally thought the waiter forgot about our order. Everyone in my party hated their meal. There was a loud opera music playing on loop the whole time. It was empty besides 2 other tables on a Friday evening. It was a very strange experience. I came here for a special occasion with family visiting out of town, and it was sad that everyone had such an awful experience.

Shrimp cocktail and antipasto La Perla were a great way to start. Dinner was stuffed rockfish and Linguine Vittorio were amazing dishes! Another good visit there and Chef coming to all the tables is always a great touch!

The restaurant and bathrooms are gorgeous and clean. The menu is extensive and diverse. Food portions are generous and served hot. The waiters appear to be mature and longtime employees of the restaurant. Our waiter was younger and seemed inexperienced but we were patient and got through the meal.
