Another excellent dinner. Daisy the sommelier helped us with our wine, and food was excellent - especially the Bisteccq Fiorentina which we shared. The crab linguini was also very good - nicely al dente. The service from the wait staff was friendly & attentive. Overall a great evening at this very classy & polished restaurant.

In town for a conference. Wow, what an evening! First visit to an RPM restaurant and it was amazing. Our server Axel and our sommelier (?) were the outstanding. The food and wine recommendations were superb . . . the Piemonte Barolo we enjoyed was perfect in every way. Our party of 4 enjoyed the prosciutto with pappardelle peppers and fried roman artichokes appetizers and the chicken parmesan, Dungeness crab with squid ink pasta, the short rib and the Atlantic swordfish entrees. All beautifully prepared. Magnificent dining experience at RPM Italian, experiencing RPM Seafood this evening . . . can't wait!

RPM was awesome as usual. We’ve been there so many times. This time we were there for happy hour and the bucatini was a little spicer than usual but still delicious. Can’t wait to go back
