    We had an excellent meal at Il Piatto. The meatball appetizer was very good and both of the pasta dishes were well-prepared and served piping hot. It was Restaurant Week and ended up being a great value. The restaurant is very popular, was crowded and a little loud but the noise level would not stop us from returniing.

    Excellent food and service! The beet salad was delicious. I also had the branzino entree with roasted carrots and it was also delicious. Even the table bread was fresh and crispy and the drinks were cold and satisfying.

    Food and service were good but the 20% fee “to cover operational costs” (doesn’t cover tip for wait staff) is a subterfuge, a bait and switch. Menu prices seem reasonable but as a customer you need to add the 20% to get the real price. Customers are smart enough to understand what they are doing. Won’t be coming back.

    The service and food are amazing. The environment is very conducive to a nice celebration or business lunch. The location is easy to find for visitors and convenient for the DC office crowd.

    My friends and I came for brunch and had a great time. The food was outstanding and such a great value to get an app, entree, dessert, and bottomless mimosas for just $40/pp.
