Dupont Italian Kitchen

Last night marked our third visit, and we loved it just as much as the first! As always, the food and drinks were excellent--perfectly portioned and reasonably priced. The staff was fantastic, and the tiramisu, as usual, was simply divine.I had the Carbonara, my go-to dish, while my partner tried the Chicken Francaise over pasta for the first time--both were flawless! We used to have a favorite Italian spot closer to us that, unfortunately, closed down, but last night's visit may have just secured this as our new go-to!(I would love to share photos of our entrées, but we ate them too fast for me to take photos lol)

The food was amazing! My friend and I had the Cheese Tortellini Vodka Pasta and the Caprese Pizza. The tortellini was AMAZING, very filling and warm. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lively and cozy on what was a warm and windy Saturday in DC.

Solid food but nothing spectacular. Staff is extremely nice but the food is somewhat disappointing. A decent spot but quite experience for mediocre Italian food

We went for dinner with the party of eight and had an average experience. We got a bunch of starters and they were nothing to rave about and then the main courses are OK at best - for example, my salmon was extra dry and the vegetables were undercooked although I did hear decent things about the eggplant and chicken Parmesan and steak dishes that others in my party ordered. To summarize that we had an average non memorable experience

Dupont Italian Kitchen has been a staple on our list of local restaurants for a very long time. It never disappoints! Sometimes, the service can be spotty but, most often, it is very good. The food is solid, always tasty! And you can never complain about the size of the portions! This place serves a good purpose and I hope it continues to maintain its level of service and food quality.I do wish, however, that the kitchen and the bathroom situation could be a bit nicer. They never look quite clean enough. The floor is slippery with grease. And the bathroom is really sub-par for any place in our city. But to sit outside on a warm day, with the sun shining on my face, and a nice big bowl of pasta & meat sauce in front of me, is heavenly!I recommend Dupont Italian Kitchen for any casual meal when you just don't want to cook for yourself. It will suit you to a T!

Amazing drinks and food not to mention the fantastic service! Stop by and say hello to their sweet bartender, Kelsey! And try the mussels and Asia Daisy 10/10

The bartender was rude, the drinks were bad, and she let customers make their own drinks. She was not fair at all. Drinking as wellHer name was Maria she needs to quits

I absolutely INHALED the chicken parm. SO good. Very charming neighborhood spot with great service. The caprese was small (and rather dry) and the garlic bread was underwhelming.Saddened to bring my 4 down to a 3. I reviewed too soon. For dessert, I ordered an espresso martini and received an absolutely undrinkable mix of Bailey's and Kahlua. This was the first time I have ever sent a drink back. The staff was very nice about it and took the drink off our check, but I was very disappointed.

Wow!!!! This was truly an experience, boyyy, the food here was straight out of Italy. The flavors, the seasoning, the portions. Everything hit! Brunch at DIK has become my new obsession. The drinks were truly unlimited and I was left very satisfied. Our server was really friendly and she made sure we had everything we needed.

Came here many many times over the years, cannot believe I am finally leaving a review for this place, and not earlier. Great, great atmosphere , friendly service like I always, food wise, it's not the best, also, depending on what you order. But they are not bad just do not expect fine dining. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CroZdczgmqY/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Plenty outdoor seating area , very pet friendly, even the customers are super friendly every time we visited.The four-star is for the taste of the food , there is definitely room for improvement. Don't get me wrong. The taste of the food is aside from the ingredients used inside the food. The ingredients used were very good., especially the seafood is always fresh. Its the seasoning for some of the dishes can use some improvement. There is no parking just like the rest of DC, good luck to find a street parking.
