San Lorenzo

I feel like this is such a hidden gem in DC. The food here is delicious! The grilled calamari was packed with flavor and was very tender. The buratta caprese salad was very light and refreshing. I wound up getting the seafood linguine and it was very yummy and loaded with seafood. My friend like the parpadelle but also said there were very minimal noodle sheets.The bar service was excellent and the team was super attentive.Although it's a small restaurant, it felt authentic and welcoming.

Had multiple courses here and it was all quite yummy! Bit overpriced for the food though. nothing was "wow amazing!!" but the pasta. I would definitely return for the ravioli. The soup was nice.My server was kind and was descriptive of each dish.We took our friend here and it was very small, intimate and thankfully not crowded. We did not wait. So that was a bonus. I'm unsure if I'd take a guest here again though but I'd definitely take someone I see on a weekly/monthly basis here again.

I dined here for the first time with a group of six friends and left disappointed. The interior of the restaurant is nice enough - sleek but also homey, albeit a bit crowded - and the service was just fine. My main gripe is the price-to-value ratio. My negroni was overly bitter and not well balanced. All six of us ordered the famed rabbit ragu, and though the pasta was indeed delicious, it came with like eight noodle strands - a bit jarring, given the $26 price point. I also ordered the chocolate cake for dessert, which I found dry. I left the restaurant still quite hungry -- a bit of a travesty, since the bill came out to almost $400 for six people (no appetizers, six entrees, three drinks, two desserts). And though this is a smaller nit, I did flag on the reservation that we were here to celebrate an 11-year college reunion, but at no point was there any acknowledgment that this was a special occasion dinner. A bummer, particularly given the high price point. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

Met up with two friends for dinner. This spot used to be Thally (for those of us who have been in DC for over 10 years). It's still a cute spot. It had a good crowd for 7;30 on Wednesday night. The hostess was friendly and so were they wait staff. The food and wine/cocktails were delicious as well. We ordered a little bit of everything. The risotto, branzino, halibut and pappardelle are enough reason for us to return. They are fairly new and looking for more business. .

I dined there recently with a group of 6. Inside it's decorated in creamy shades of beige and off white. At the bar is a covered leg of prosciutto that they slice to order. They offer a small menu with Tuscan inspired dishes. However, I had the grilled branzino with sautéed spinach. The fish was lightly grilled but still tender and moist. The cocktails are surprisingly priced lower by a few dollars than a glass of wine. The server was efficient with separating checks.

Attended a semi-private event and was so impressed with the attentiveness of the staff behind the bar and waiting the room! The drinks were perfect, and every single tasting was delicious. Notable favorites for me were: Tonno, Bruschetta, Bistecca, Linguini, Pappardelle, Ravioli. Most definitely need to come back.

Anything less than 5 stars here would be a travesty! We live locally and have come here 3-4 times. Each time we come the food we try outdoes the last time. The tenderness of the seafood, the quality of the pasta, and the flavors on every dish are just exquisite. COCKTAILS and wine don't disappoint! Any time we have family or colleagues in town, this is where we will go. Oh!!!! And the service??? Amazing!

We went here for our anniversary lunch. The staff were very friendly. They told us about future event and even shared their contact information to book future reservations. We made a reservation for our lunch but it was fairly open. It think lunch time has less of a crowd. It was such a calm location. We really enjoyed the pasta. It was so fresh. Our only gripe is that the portions are on the small side. The bread was very good. We were given extra because we commented on how good it was. At the end of the date we were give a free dessert for our anniversary. The location is smaller than expected. This made it a bit intimate for us. The back of the restaurant has nice space for bigger parties. We will be back.

Update after a recent visit, a solid 3.5 stars which I'll round up. It's a fine meal, but more like a weekday don't have plans type of place for me. Cocktails we had this time were bad, I'd stick to wine. Bread service is fine (they'll bring you more if you finish which is nice). Prosciutto appetizer was ok, the star was the cheese though. We had four pastas ranked from tortelli - pappardelle - risotto - linguine. Tortelli had a nice flavorful truffle and cream filling, but the pasta wasn't cooked perfectly with some of the bites underdone. Pappardelle has a pretty tasty sauce but would've loved a bit more texture on the pappardelle. Risotto was nice with a few good chunks of lobster claw. Linguine was fine but not worth ordering out, nothing special about the flavors or ingredients. Overall it's how I remember, not a bad meal but with so many options around we won't regularly visit.

Certainly edible, but nothing that great. Pastas arrived overcooked, grilled calamari was undercooked, drinks are fine but nothing special. It's surprisingly packed for being mediocre; the space is attractive so hopefully the food improves.
