Sette Osteria

Amazing food and service! We got penne alla Rusa, ravioli alla nonna, and tagliatelle pesto. It was super yummy. We even got free Limencello shots by checking in on the app. Highly recommend this spot for some good authentic Italian food!

Service was good, but everything else was pretty mediocre. The wine glasses were very dirty and no bread included which I feel is a must at any self-respecting Italian restaurant. The Burrata Caprese was fine. If bread had been a part of it I think that would've justified the price. I ordered a seafood pasta (forget the name) which was pretty basic and the shrimp / clams were a bit overcooked. I'm not an expert chef by any means, but I feel like I could do better at home. Overall, I was disappointed by the food quality and dirty wine glasses. I think there are plenty of other better options within the same price range.

Honest review, just choose a different place....Although the ambiance was nice, the service was extremely slow for a night that wasn't too busy. The drinks were good. I went with a group of people and we all got different things. The pappardelle with the bolognese sauce was so over cooked I legitimately only ate the sauce. The sauce with on the Alfredo pappardelle pasta was not a nice consistency and the noodles were under cooked. The calamari was fantastic, especially with those sauce pairings. The rigatoni was delicious!Yes, I try everyone's food lmao

We came for Sunday brunch and it was packed so a reservation is recommended. I got the smoked salmon omelette and the italiana. The omelette was decent, and was a little broken when it came to the table. The breakfast potatoes were good though, with the perfect crispy ratio. The Italiana was good, and you do get that slight taste of lychee which I enjoyed.Service was quite slow, and it took awhile to get a server's attention just because of how busy it was. Our server was sweet and friendly though. There is a Yelp-check in offer of a free limoncello shot for the table; our server wasn't sure if the restaurant was still honoring it but she gave it to us anyways. It wasn't a good limoncello shot but I appreciated our server for putting it for us.They offer a daily happy hour 4-7pm at the bar, and a all night happy hour Sunday and Monday 4-10pm at the bar. I would rate it a 3.75/4, rounding up to a 4/5.

Delicious. The place has a nice atmospheric vibe to it. Kinda looks like a spot you would find in Europe. My daughter and I wanted some lunch before my afternoon meetings so we decided to stop in to eat. She ordered the linguine pancetta and I ordered a beet salad. Simple enough right? So yummy!! I expected a chopped salad to be honest but it came out very authoritatively. The goat cheese was delicious in the salad. Her linguine was divine! Huge flavorful shrimp, pancetta and crab in a tomato sauce with linguine. Perfection. I loved it and we together devoured all of it. Happy hour started at 4 so we moved to the patio so that I could partake. I had three aperol sprintz and ended up calling it a night at 5:39 pm. LOL Definitely try this place.

We came here with a group for brunch on a Sunday. It was not too crowded but regardless probably best to make a reservation. We all decided to do the bottomless brunch and the waiter would just be around with a pitcher filling everyone's glasses up. I also got the eggs benedict which was all good. The place was lowkey but also a nice place to eat. I would go back for the brunch again.

Came through here seeking Italian food by Dupont Circle on a rainy Saturday. The restaurant ambiance is very pretty, and the service is fantastic! Our server had the most hospitable personality and a cheerful smile, and made sure our waters were always filled up.We got the following:Spaghetti Alle Vongole (Spaghetti with Clams)Bucatini alla CarbonaraLasagnaThe Spaghetti with Clams was a nice seafood pasta, the sauce was garlicy and had a slight salty brine-y flavor from the clams, mixed with the pasta and the clam meat was pretty tasty. I do wish that the sauce was a bit more saltier, and that the pasta was cooked a bit more al dente, as it was on the softer side for me. The Bucatini alla Carbonara was tasty, nice pecorino cheese flavor and a salty cured flavor from the guanciale, noodles were cooked better here than on my Spaghetti with clams. Lastly the lasagna had a delicious meat Bolognese sauce, very tasty dish! Sette Osteria is a solid option for Italian food in Dupont, and I definitely want to come back and try their happy hour deals for pizza!

I was so excited to try this place after having it on my list for years. I decided to go to the DuPont location because it was the closest to me. We decided to split a $82 lobster spaghetti. I was highly disappointed with the small portion size for the price. I know it was a holiday weekend but the food lacked flavor and small portion size for the price. Also, for a limited menu the food took forever. We also had the calamari which was also very small size. Only real positive was my skinny margarita as great. The bartender Luis was great.

Disappointing to say the least. Made Valentine's Day reservations about a month in advance. We arrive to the restaurant and check in with the host. She tells us it will be 15 minutes and to wait at the unstaffed bar (with no barstools). It's Valentine's and Friday night, I understand. 15 minutes go by and I go back and check in. She tells me it'll be another 15 minutes because she doesn't have a table for us. (Is that not what a reservation for?). We go back and wait and watching others check-in for their reservation and getting the same treatment. It got to a point watching her - it was clear she wasn't checking in parties and was forgetting about people she directed to the bar. When people would get upset she would have them wait near the host stand.At this point, I've been standing for 45 minutes, 6 months pregnant. I go back up for the third time and the host ends up seating us at what isn't a table in service - next to door, which ended up being freezing.My dish (linguine with shrimp, crab and pancetta) was good but not worth the trouble. My husband's chicken parm was dry.

Great service, and dinner was on my table amazingly fast. Food of course was great. Loved the open dining area which was well lit and clean.
