And thanks to the staff for their hospitality and friendly service!More infoClaudio's TablePrice: Moderate• Italian• Palisades Northwest•4.7
- KKathyWashington, D.C. Area •40 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was the best of our Restaurant Week choices in the years we have taken advantage of RW. We were seated in an area that allowed easy conversation. The staff was very gracious and chef Jonathan Spence stopped by and chatted. We have been to Modena a number of times previously, but each dish this evening was a winner. We especially loved the pork coppa with truffle risotto, and hope this makes it on to the regular menu. We would go back soon for that dish alone. We were thoughtfully reminded at the time the check was presented, that a 20% service charge was already included, and a tip was not necessary. We felt that the wonderful service we received, warranted an additional tip. Thank you Modena staff for a wonderful evening. It felt like an early Valentine's Day.More infoModenaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.5

- JJustinWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoDecided to check out this new place for Restaurant Week - totally worth it! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for Italian food. I don’t know exactly what was in the olive oil with the bread but simply amazing. The melanzana and lobster diavola simply divine. Chafik was a super attentive and friendly server. Definitely sit in his area.More infoTalea Italian RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Cleveland Park•4.5
