   The food and service were excellent. The four stars instead of five was due to the very below drink quality. An $18 Manhattan was room temperature and tasted as if it had been mixed hours ago. The $16 5 ounces of Chardonnay was not properly chilled. I do not understand why a restaurant with this quality of food can have such a disappointing bar service!

   We were there to celebrate my daughter's 33rd birthday. The Hostess was amazing, friendly, and welcoming. For starters, we had the Fritto Primavera, which was well seasoned but a little undercooked for our liking. The charcuterie board my husband ordered never came and he was a bit disappointed when he inquired if the salami was house made, the server said no. Although the clams were a tad small, I enjoyed the Spaghetti Alle Vongole's flavor. Mom had the Cavatelli Gamberi and was underwhelmed, the Broccolini was extremely salty, my husband and daughter ordered the Ribeye, they were accidentally given each other's plates (one was medium rare and the other one was medium) and said those were ok. The tiramisu, panna cotta, and drinks were delicious and I wish we had the same experience with the food.

   Woefully mediocre Italian food- I’ve had better at a cafeteria. Service was good, and the half-price wine is a nice bonus. Definitely ask to remove the indefensible 3% surcharge from your check. There’s much better Italian food to be had in DC.

   Bustling environment and very good value. Mariah was fantastic and she wasn’t even our server! She was caring, fun and went over the top to make sure everyone had a great night. Pasta was delicious, and service was fast.

   This was our first time to the restaurant and it was disappointing. To begin with, we sat at a table next to a window and it was very cold and discomfiting. We asked several times if the heat could be raised to make it more comfortable to no avail. There were four people in our party and the noise level was so high that it was difficult to hear the person sitting across from you. It was also very crowded as the tables were very close together. The food was so-so. My wife and I thought out meals were good while our friends did not. The Caesar Salad had potential, but it was overwhelmed with too much salad dressing. As for the wait, our waitress hardly paid any attention to us. Fortunately, there was an Asian woman (I dis not catch her name, but she was dressed in all black) who effectively took our orders and served us. Overall, it is at best less than 50-50 that we will return.

    I screwed up my booking for four and booked for two but despite a very crowded and busy Friday night they immediately found us a table for four. The staff was universally attentive and friendly. They even brought us desserts as a thank you. Great overall experience not normally expected from a large bustling place.
