We’ve never had REAL Italian food, we’ve always had “spaghetti” or “chicken Alfredo” from places.. one of my goals while visiting the east coast was to try amazing Italian food… I’m proud to say I ACCOMPLISHED this goal. When I called I explained I never had this type of food before and the guy that answered was very helpful and patient with me. Gosh… we LOVED IT!! 10/10 recommend!!! we definitely recommend this place to anyone! This is the 12th state we’ve visited in 3 weeks on our “food adventure” and I must say I think it’s our favorite so far!!!
Visiting from out of town, found this place randomly. Delicious! Great service too…authentic Italian. Pictured is the linguine with white wine sauce. My partner had the lamb ravioli, also delicious. Will definitely return.
WOW. This place is incredible. From the drinks to the food to the delicious deserts it is unmatched. Ingris took care of us tonight and she was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and gave great food reccomendations. I highly reccomend you check this place out. We had the linguini seafood pasta, crab ravioli and the proscutto chocolate desert (I think that's what it's called). For drinks we had summer margarita (pineapple and cranberry marg). 10/10!
I'm almost glad we found this restaurant at the end of our trip to DC because otherwise I would not have given any other restaurant a chance. EVERYTHING we had was amazing! We started with the roasted beets and the scallops. Then we had the pappardelle pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce, the crab ravioli and the NY strip. All of it was so, so good. Then we finished with tiramisu (wow) and chocolate cake. We tried to talk our daughter into something different than chocolate cake (like chocolate salami) but it was still really good too. I highly recommend eating here!
Brilliant food with a good but not overwhelming selection. Well presented, fantastic taste, perfect quantity.
Service was excellent, could not ask for any more.
I’d come back here any time I was visiting the city,
This Italian restaurant was a fortunate find yesterday. We were looking for somewhere for lunch….. we had the beef carpaccio and fried calamari as starters. Everything was well seasoned. We shared the lunch special spinach risotto with shrimp. The rice was perfectly al dente and the shrimp were so crisp! Dessert was tiramisu and fruit panacotta. I have nothing to complain about. Service was prompt and attentive as well.
Outstanding Service . All of friends in Washington DC recommend this restaurant but you have to reserve because is very popular . The hostess is very organize and I had a birthday day Italian dinner in Tortino . The service , food, and champagne make my birthday the best . We reserve a 8 people table and all the personal were very organize. I like the bread with butter too! Recommend for parties , dates and profesional dinners . Highly recommend.
Amazing.....Amazing....Amazing. This place is a gem. They were very accommodating to my family of five. Service was amazing and food was delicious. For appetizers we tried mushroom soup and grilled octopus. Perfect flavor and temperature. For dinner we tried a variety of pastas and a Salmon dish. Again delicious and food temperature was perfect. Did not have to wait very long for food to come to the table. By far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to.
Delightful neighborhood northern Italian fine dining restaurant. We early arrived a bit before 6pm and we're seated as first for the evening. Then it got BUSY but they managed to do a fantastic job anyway. We loved the meal and the service was very good. Risotto and gnocchi and grilled portobello and cheesecake. What could be more Italian? And all was extraordinary.
Highly underrated Italian Restaurant. The ambiance could seem a little dull when you first walk in, but the dining room and the paintings will change your mind. The host was very welcoming and friendly, she offered to take our pictures and made a very good impression. The service was excellent, our server recommended the daily specials and he gave us plenty of time to decide on what to get. The food was superb, every dish looked beautiful and tested even better, the Lobster ravioli was the highlight! Overall had a great experience will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
