Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a fantastic night at San Lorenzo - food was amazing, service attentive but not obtrusive with helpful recommendations, and the restaurant itself lively and warm but not loud. Highly recommend!More infoSan LorenzoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Shaw•4.6

- JJustinWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day 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•4.4
- FFloydVIPWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThe food is usually really good and tonight they're was a slight problem. My first had the steak, and she became really il. The steak was supposed to be medium, but some parts were rare. She didn't have symptoms initially, but about 30 minutes after we left, she had sharp pains in her stomach. After expelling the steak, she felt better. I like the spot and the steak needs an update.More infoModenaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.5
- NnancyVIPWashington, D.C. Area •62 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 21, 2025What a delight. This was my fourth visit to Claudio’s Table and what a fabulous experience. I initially went when they first opened was disappointed - too noisy, not what I was hoping for. Oh my, have they figured EVERYTHING out. The staff was excellent: kind, friendly, helpful, warm - really A+, the food absolutely delicious from the focaccia to the pasta to the salads and dessert. The cavatelli with sausage and rapini is to die for. The noise level is totally fine, it’s busy and energetic and you can easily carry on a conversation at your table in normal voice tones. We could not have been happier. Bravo Claudio’s Table.More infoClaudio's TablePrice: Moderate• Italian• Palisades Northwest•4.7
