my husband surprised me with a birthday dinner here and let me tell you, best food experience ever for the both of us. Everyone... was so nice, the chef was very accommodating with our food substitutes and everything was perfect. It felt like a party in mymouth with every bite, so delicious! Will be back. Thank you again. Read more
Start to finish, a great experience with the tasting menu. But we were not as thrilled with the wine pairing. For $150 each we... got 5 maybe 2-3 oz pours. And we were only delighted by one of the wines. But the service was outstanding. Read more
It's the best Italian restaurant in the DMV. Every dish is perfect. Definitely try the scampi, steak, Branzino, tortellini or... the risotto. Can't go wrong with any of the dessert choices. Read more
Without a doubt the best meal I've ever had. I went a couple of years ago while in DC for a conference. I had some sort of... prefixed chef's tasting menu that had 7 or 8 courses, all paired with wine. it was amazing and I can't wait to go back. Thefirst course was almost too much for me to try. I usually don't eat raw meat, and the first course was a raw oyster topped withwagyu beef tartare, then topped again with caviar. While I was not used to the texture, the flavor was absolute art. Theseafood, meat, sides, sauces, all the way to the garnish was all masterful and delicious. It took several people to create,present, and deliver the meal to the table. It was like watching a show unfold. The server was very knowledgeable abouteverything served and we were lucky he was also a sommelier. This made it even more interesting as he presented the wine thatwas served with each course. I can't recommend this place enough. It was just honored as the #2 Italian restaurant in the worldthat's outside of Italy. Do yourself a favor and go ready to spend whatever it takes to get the full experience. Read more
Dinner here was exceptional. Service staff was amazing. We did the harvest menu where you get to pick 4 items yourself and the... chef picks the others for you. We had not one complaint. Every dish was delicious. Some of our favorites were the EggplantMousse, Langoustine, Childhood(Pasta), Farmers Steak(Wagyu)& the Sweet Beginnings(Pumpkin Spice "Latte," Honeynut SquashGelato). It felt like by the end of the night we must of had 15+ dishes. Oh and the cocktails! Such an experience. Highlyrecommend ordering their specialty cocktails. It is like nothing you?ve experience before! Super creative & fun. Needless tosay, you definitely get your moneys worth and will not leave hungry or unhappy. It was an amazing experience and we can?t waitto go back next time we?re in D.C.! Read more
The yurt experience was beautiful. The design of the dishes, taste, and presentation were all creative and thoughtful. Also the... portion sizes are very generous. The food itself was good, not amazing considering the price. But consider everything it?s worththe ticket. My favorite part was the pasta, mind-blowing. Not so impressed with my pork chop entry. The chickpea part wasamazing, the pork itself was a bit boring. Read more
So far the best michelin tried in the DMV area. From making modifications to my large party to the modification for me of no... sheep's milks, which ended up modifying multiple courses, this restaurant was above accommodatable and amazing. First I'd haveto give a shout out to the management staff, Sarah S was so helpful and nice and has a great demeanor, and Giuseppe was alsoamazing and assisted us with ending our bills and making white truffle recommendations. We tried the 9 course option whicheveryone raved about. 1 felt if we went for the 5 course, maybe it would have been a different experience and a few did not likethe citrus flavor for the lobster entree meal, but every other course was so amazing. I'd recommend for sure to add on the whitetruffle and gnocchi pasta course as it was the highlight of everyone's night, as was the tiramisu. Definitely a place to visitagain (this being said by someone who doesn't normally eat Italian food either!). Thank you Fiola! Read more
