Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

Time counts at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we’ve continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ’s a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we’ve put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven’t just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it’s because of them we’re continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ’s, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    It was our anniversary and our server Lily made it very special for us. She was sweet, personable and ended our night with a personalized dessert that even included how many years we have been married, 33!

    Delicious food made from scratch - love it! The brunch has tons of options - there are even single dishes that are part of the buffet that you can order to the table - for example - I had a very yummy chia seed pudding with fresh peanut butter and berries. No-el did an awesome job as our professional customer service ambassador!

    This was only my 2nd visit, but my wife has been 4 times. We dined there for Valentine’s Day. It was full, but everything was running smoothly. We liked everything! We got the bread basket, tuna tartare/cucumber appetizer and the arugula salad with butternut squash. All were excellent! The amount of dressing was perfect and let the tastes of the squash, pomegranate and other yummy bits come through! We both had the Moist Brisket entrees with 4 different sides. Everything was good. At first I thought the brisket was too salty, but realized it was licking up the juice from the pickles cucumber and onion garnish. Separately, they were great, but the saltiness detracted the flavor of my first piece of brisket. The rest were not affected. We were stuffed and brought most of the sides home. I’d also add that the Arnold Palmer I ordered was also excellent and had an impressive presentation and clearly separate portions of tea and lemonade.

    Claudio's Table is an Italian restaurant in the Palisades neighborhood of Washington, DC at 5441 MacArthur Blvd. It is owned by the fantastic Chef Claudio Pirollo, who also owns the French-Belgian bistro Et Voila. Claudio's Table serves great Italian cuisine, including pasta, meat, fish and pizza. I have eaten almost everything on the menu and love it all. The restaurant also has a great wine list and cocktails. Claudio's is known for its lively and cozy atmosphere. It is a very popular spot for lunch and dinner. We like sitting at the bar where you get to talk with patrons from the neighborhood and get fantastic service. Additionally at the bar, you can catch a glimpse of Chefs Claudio and Stephane preparing exquisite dishes. The staff provides excellent service with charm. The food is delicious! Claudio's is a neighborhood gem! Patrick
