    Please note that we are not offering Restaurant Week at our DC location.
    Located at 914 14th Street SE in Washington, DC.
    Caruso’s Grocery is modeled after the classic, Italian-American "red sauce" joint. You know the one: red banquettes, a killer chicken parmesan, Sinatra pouring through the speakers. If you’re looking for modern interpretations of a chef's take on the classics, you won’t find them here.

    First time here. Every dish we ordered was excellent (burrata, meatballs, cacio de Pepe, waygu lasagna). That lasagna is a must get every time, it literally melts in your mouth. Cocktails and staff were great too. Best of all, this place really is a good deal for what they offer. Especially for that level of service & fare in DC. Highly recommend!

    I chose Belga Cafe because they are famous for authentic Belgian food. I tried chicken and waffles, which consist of two Belgian waffles and four pieces of chicken thigh meats. It came out the perfect temperature and was tasty.

    An absolutely amazing experience. We had a party of 6, one of which has a glutton allergy. We all ordered the unlimited dinner experience. All of us could not have been more delighted from start to finish. The service was prompt, as well as personable and professional. The cuisine went from outstanding to out of this world. Just when you would try a dish with the thought, “this will be my favorite,” the next dish would arrived and was even better. Do not miss the opportunity to visit Ambar Capitol Hill. I guarantee you and your entire party will not be disappointed.

Discover Capitol Hill

Since Pierre L'Enfant decided to build the Congress House at the top of Jenkins Hill in 1791, the enormous Capitol Hill district of Washington, D.C., has grown to symbolize America to many citizens. However, this neighborhood houses a lot more than monuments and politicians. In between the old rowhouses and various parks, you'll find plenty of food options. You can start out by heading to brunch and ordering some buckwheat pancakes at one of the many early-morning spots. Capitol Hill also offers a number of barbecue joints for those looking to feast on tender meats. If you're a seafood lover, hit up a raw oyster bar or sushi restaurant. And of course, America's capital knows how to do a classic burger that even a president would love to sink their teeth into!
