The food was amazing. I love me an authentic Italian restaurant. Service was so personable. Celebrated my birthday and they greeted me and guest every time with our names.

Trattoria Alberto was recommend by friends who have lived on the Hill for over 3 decades. We met for dinner and enjoyed a meal together. They recommended the Avocado salad to start. It was delicious. The avocado was pleasantly soft and ripe. The dressing wasn't over bearing and just the right amount. What a nice start to a meal. The menu is extensive - I wasn't sure if I should I order pasta or a protein that's served with pasta. I decided on Chicken piccata with gluten free pasta. They offer gluten free variations and vegetarian dishes. The chicken piccata was cooked perfectly. The only issue was the side of pasta. It wasn't served with gluten free pasta. However, the server quickly noticed and replaced it. I didn't have to ask. He knew and fixed it. The service it great at Trattoria Alberto and so is their at home feeling when dining. It's not rushed.

Really loved this place. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, the service was impeccable. Our server was very friendly to our group, which included three children who'd been in the car for most of the day. She took a spilled water glass in stride and made sure we had everything we needed. When we left without one of the kids sweatshirts, they chased us outside to make sure we got it back. The food was very good overall too. I had the veal ala Boehner. It was different and delicious - 2 of 3 kids (age 10) tried some and loved it as well. All three pastas as well as the chicken piccata and the watermelon salad were excellent. Everyone enjoyed it. The atmosphere was friendly and homey - just what I'd expected. Everything was clean. It was a very hot day and a touch hot inside as well, but overall we were comfortable. Would return.

I can't say enough great things about this place. My best friend has been taking me here for my birthday for the past two years and there is nothing but great service and delicious food every time. The restaurant is cute and not too far from the Navy Yard. They have a nice variety of wines, so many entrees to choose from, and desserts that make you an offer you can't refuse. Worth a visit if you enjoy Italian food and you're in the DC area.

Visiting DC from Phoenix, AZ and this was the first stop on our trip. Amazing pasta, some of the best I've ever had. I got the fettuccine alfredo and my wife got the penne arrabbiata, both were excellent. Also we were impressed with the portion sizes. Had a good amount of leftovers. Highly recommend this place if you want some outstanding authentic Italian food!

After being welcomed by friendly staff, all went down hill. The food was below average for the pretend Italian ambiance. We both ordered the house special, catch of the day with pasta and vegetables. We first received cold aged bread with cold butter and no oil for dipping. The fish was dry with a bland taste, and they forgot to add the sauce on the pasta. They brought the sauce 5 minutes later, and didn't offer a discount. Disappointing for the money paid. This place is over priced serving plain tasting meals.

I rarely leave reviews but the food here was exceptionally terrible. The worst Italian food I've ever had. This food was so bad it hurt - my feelings and my stomach. You'll have better luck at olive garden. The garlic bread was a joke - wasn't even baked/crispy and just had garlic powder and some chopped garlic on it, the pasta with the chicken parmigiana was completely unseasoned like it went from pot to plate, the creme brûlée didn't have a hard sugar top and tasted like flan, and what was supposed to be fried calamari was completely chewy and unseasoned. It was all disgusting and I'm really sad I can't get my money back.

We were really excited to try out this place for my best friends birthday. We got there and our server was already rude and short, and acted as if he did not care in the slightest. We ordered our drinks and eventually our appetizer (when he did come over, which was like a total of 3 times and it was not busy). We ordered the antipasto meat and cheese board for two, and I was actually shocked at what came out. It was quite literally deli meats rolled up with deli sliced cheese and random vegetables. It was unlike anything I had ever seen at any Italian restaurant. Not to mention when sending it back our server was rude once again. When the table next to us came in our server read them specials, went over constantly, and ultimately gave them a great experience. He barely asked us what we wanted for dinner. The manager seemed to not care one bit about this either when we were so clearly unhappy. Not to mention, when seeing it was my friends birthday on her ID, they didn't say a word- and we saw them bring out dessert for another birthday, but this option, along with others, was not given to us. I genuinely have never had such a bad service experience in my life. The pasta was mid and the wine was good. I will never be coming back here due to the horrendous service.
