I'm from Philly and didn't think DC had any good pasta, but I stand corrected. Really great spaghetti vongole, friendly service.

We had a good time. We were looking for a place to eat close to where we were staying in DC and this restaurant was the only one open. We had the cacio e pepe and meatballs. Both dishes were good, but for my boyfriend the cacio e pepe portion was a little small. Meatballs were good, good comfort dish.

Friday evening was very disappointing. This used to be one of our favorite places. I know the owners are working hard and how difficult it is to run a restaurant. Prices are way up. There's a service fee. That's understandable. But the food isn't good anymore. My pasta dish was sour and inedible.

Our family ate here (for the fifth or sixth time over the years) on 9.8. The food was wonderful (and so were the bourbon based cocktails). We ordered two orders of meatballs, fried zucchini, a pork ragu, tagliatelle, and eggplant parmigiana. Everything was delicious (the parmigiana portion was a little on the small side, especially compared to the other dishes--but very good). Some have complained about the value here, but our meal with tax and tip and two cocktails was $185 (and we brought home leftovers). Massimo chatted with us and was his usual welcoming self. We will be back!

Down home Italian food. Simple, tasty, well made plates. Had the Polpo as an appetizer. Amazing, grilled and seasoned perfectly. Then my old standby Cacio and Pepe. You can tell how good an Italian restaurant is by this simple dish. Excellent wine and cocktails list.

Solid, fantastic neighborhood staple. We walk here with our kids regularly. It's great for families, dates, brunch/lunch/dinner. The owners are very nice. Yummy food and excellent service always. We are so happy this is our neighborhood restaurant.

We were here several years ago and loved it. This visit we didn't feel welcomed. Figured that regulars get the goods here. Tomato sauce on the pasta and meatballs was lacking spice. No bread offered. No grated cheese, salt or pepper flakes offered. Left there and still hungry. Not pleased.

Happy to leave a great review for this fun, tasty, family-run restaurant! We had two appetizers and two main dishes, and highly recommend the squid ink pasta. I will say, the dishes could have plated more carefully. With smaller portions, I was a little disappointed in how my food seemed to be "slapped" onto the plate. But the food was delicious, service was just what you'd expect from a family-run restaurant (complete with a young boy serving as the host).

BEST RESTAURANT EVER. Delicious, fabulous everything. Absolutely love this place will go back every time I want Italian!!! MY FAVORITE!!!!!

Insanely overpriced1 small piece of chicken parm and small side of spaghetti - $36!3 small meatballs and small side of spaghetti - $27!And the most egregious: 2 small pieces of garlic bread - $12!!!
