Claudios Table

Finally made it here to the old Boathouse restaurant, now a great Italian restaurant. Went as a group and we were served by the owner. Lots of fun, and he and one of our group spoke a bit of Italian to each other throughout the meal. I had the Caesar salad. Solid but nothing special. But then we had the lobster special, a tiny half lobster on top of pasta, all in a rich briny sauce. Delicious and just a beautiful dish. We all split the bombolini ricotta donuts (fabulous), the panna cotta (fair), and the affogato (somewhere in between). Wine by the glass good, cocktails excellent. Service excellent with the exception of an awkward hostess who kept trying to take our plates away before we were done. Claudios Table is a great addition to the neighborhood!

I recently dined at Claudios Table (drawn there by rave reviews from friends), and was amazed at my experience. The place has an amazing ambiance with an open kitchen adjacent to the dining area. The staff are wonderful and helpful with suggestions of their favorites. We had great recommendations for our wine selection as well.We loved this place so much we came back with friends two days later.I just came back from Italy where I had the world's best pizza in Naples. The pizza at Claudios was on par with my experience in Naples. The dough was light and airy (including the crust). The cheese was creamy and silky unlike any I have had in the United States. We had several other items from the menu including the fried artichokes all of which were wonderful. So if you are seeking a trip to Italy, but can't afford the airfare, drive over to Claudios and live the experience! Gary F

What a cute spot. My bestie and I were in the neighborhood for a puzzling competition and needed to grab some lunch during break. We decided to take a walk and see what we find and we stumbled upon this cute place!We walked in and were greeted by the sweetest man. We were quickly sat and shown the specials which are written on a chalkboard on display for the entire restaurant. Even though it was relatively early, the pizza was calling my name and what a great choice! Honestly ,2 adults can share a pizza, but bestie and I like different things so we both got our own and had leftovers. It was sooooooooo good! I was so excited to even eat the leftovers the next day. The pineapple juice was also amazing and very sweet.I don't live near this place, but if I am ever back in the area I will be stooping here for sure.

It is such a cute place. A little bit difficult to park but street parking around the corner wasn't too terrible. Food-wise, I'm not too impressed by it. Vongole was too fishy, gnocchi alla sorrentina is classic so it can't be too terrible. Octopus was actually quite nice. I think this place isn't really for pasta but pizza was definitely a go-to.Server was very nice. We were group of 7 and he took care of us with amicable attitude with no-miss/mistakes on the menu. It was nice but I don't know if I would come back for the another try

Outstanding food! Calamarata with prawns, mussels, and clams was delightful. Delicious pizza and outstanding wine list. Tiramisu was soooo good!Amazing hospitality and service from all. Tables are close together but seem like the team did a great job with spacing people out. Simple decor but elegant. No complaints from us!

Definitely a nice new spot in the neighborhood. Lovely decor, although very loud inside so difficult to have a conversation when it's mostly full. Patio option is nice but will be much better when it's a real patio! I assume they have plans.... Food was excellent, the dorado/orata was outstanding, with a really nice mixed veg sautéed in olive oil and roasted garlic among other things. The lamb shank was falling off the bone, and thank you to the chef for making the entire dish dairy free. Food came out pretty fast too. I really like that they have pastas and pizza. But also really great other non-pasta dishes too. Great wine selection, and the cocktail I tried was excellent-the thyme and rosemary simple was intriguing Service was excellent, definitely recommend.

Great new Italian neighborhood spot and we can sorely use a bunch of good restaurants. Loved the Vitello tonnato which was balanced and light and fresh, though the flavors were fairly subtle. Nice beet salad and fried artichokes which were lightly battered and tender. Seafood special tubular pasta was spectacular and had all the right briny notes. Also loved another meaty casarecce with pork sausage and short and pork ribs was delicious though quite al dente. Solid cocktail game here and the tiramisu and bombolini were also really good. Friendly service. Do make a reservation as it is packed. A little loud inside but a great spot overall.

Came here specifically to try their pizza while on a #dcpizzatour and so while I have opinions on pizza, I generally write my reviews on the overall dining experience.Claudio's Table is a small neighborhood restaurant, so we made reservations for 7:15pm and rushed to get there timely. However, once there, we were encouraged to sit at the bar and wait...and wait we did. They were about 20-30 min behind schedule in seating us, and strongly encouraged we should just sit at the bar (a party of four, really?). What is the point of taking reservations if you don't actually reserve us a table in time? Poor management if you ask me.The bartender serving us drinks at the bar was not particularly friendly, helpful, or good at providing service. She took my order and then just left it at a distance on the counter. I wasn't even sure if it was for me or for a server to deliver to the table. What a rough start.Then we were finally seated around 7:45pm and by now a host of people have left. By 8pm the restaurant only had 3 tables left, which in my mind means I can finally have better service? Nope. Think again. The staff started cleaning up for the night and we struggled to waive a server, the manager was nowhere in sight, and we really ended up feeling like we were burdensome and should eat quickly and leave quickly before 9pm as the staff seemed to ready to leave by 8:30pm.Now, was the food good? Yes. It was delicious. Would I come back again? Absolutely not.

The food delicious and the service was kind and welcoming and the ambiance was cute. The eggplant sandwich was perfectly toasted and the taste marinated so well along with consistency in the texture. The texture of the salad was also perfect to experience the simple but Devine bland of shaved cheese large slices and balsamic on greens.

Hands down, Claudio's has become our favorite restaurant. We dined there lasts night and once again were impressed with every part of the experience. Service was attentive, though not hurried (did not feel like, in some restlaurants, they can't wait to get you finished and out the door). The manager was very friendly. The food continues to be excellent. We had some focaccia bread followed by two pastas: One was Pasta Calamata with clams, prawns and perhaps some other seafood. The second was the Cavatelli with sausage and rapini. Both were simply excellent and, again as opposed to some other restaurants, the pasta was cooked perfectly. Add to this a good wine list and you have an excellent restaurant with appropriately reasonable prices.Can't wait to return.
