Based on good reviews we made a reservation during our stay in Washington DC. We ordered bruschetta en fried mozzarella as appetizer! Both appetizers were excellent. As main plate we ordered a spaghetti carbonara, a pasta seafood and a pasta calamares. The three plates were excellent. A few downsizes: no table clothes and a waiter who was not so polite and distant.

Great bottomless brunch, I went last week and had some great mimosas. The atmosphere was great, or at least I think it was. The drinks were so good that my judgement wasn’t the best by the end.

Had a great time and delicious food at DuPont Italian Kitchen. The food was tasty old-school Italian food, which is sometimes hard to come by these days. Just simple comfort food that tastes good. Our waiter Luis was attentive and helpful and the restaurant matched the food - just what I was looking for.

although the main menu has not changed in many, many years… The food is very good and I’ve never had an issue with anything in there. It’s also relatively inexpensive for DC. Of note, they have recently been adding weekly specials to the menu with items such as meatloaf, branzini, eggplant lasagna, etc.… All very tasty stuff. The service is quite good and there is minimal staff turnover.

Loved DuPont Italian Kitchen! This was a great, classy spot for some late night Italian cravings with friends. Though a little more on the expensive side, this place was delicious and perfect for a great end to our evening. Loved the drinks and the service at this place! Would definitely come back again!

Staff was friendly. But the food was not as good as expected. Seafood pasta was not as good, no garlic breads, we have had better seafood pasta. The greek pizza was OK, maybe our order from the menu selection was not good. However, the ambience and the drinks were great

Food was good and prices were reasonable. Service was really good, considering the 15 people in my party with ordering drinks and dinner.

I love Italian food, and this place really impressed me! As a tourist, you never know what your going to get when you pick a place. My family ordered a wide variety of appetizers, salads, and dishes, and we were All impressed!
Truly a great find in DC. It's a must if you love Italian food. I had the Chicken Francaise, and everyone thought it was amazing (we tried each others dishes)!!

Traveling alone for work so I ordered based on what would be good in a to go box in a hotel: chicken parmigiana and mozzarella sticks. Tasty choices, hit just the right pasta spot, but understandably not mind blowing. I’d still rate my meal a 5 star though because it was exactly what I needed it to be and satisfied my craving.

There are very few Italian restaurants that I enjoy in the D.C. area. I don't count any of the chain restaurants that claim to be Italian. DuPont Italian is reliable, tasty and friendly. It feels like a locals place, but has the food to back it up. We enjoyed our meal and the wine, although I wish it did have a bigger selection of wine. Not Italian gourmet, but again, reliable and tasty. And yes, we went a little heavy on the parmesan in the photos. But when in Rome! LOL. We both cleaned our plates!

I’m visiting DC for a long weekend and thought I’d try this place out for an early dinner before the crowds invaded. The pomegranate margarita happy hour special was small but powerful. I think the second was even more potent than the first. Then I had my go-to for Italian restaurants- the chicken Parmesan. It was very good, with a chunky marinara sauce on the linguini. I do wish that came with a spoon so I didn’t have sauce splashing everywhere. As I ate, I noticed regulars making their way in, as the staff was clearly familiar with them. I’ll definitely go back the next time I’m in town.

An old favorite. Food excellent although the portions not generous. Service excellent from the manager to the server. A bit run down in terms of ambiance but still a delightful choice!

I have been to this restaurant twice now and loved it more each time. The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The drinks are also strong :) there are also drag shows next door every Monday night!

I had the seafood pasta, Mozzarella cheese sticks, garlic bread and red sangria. The food tastes amazing, authentic and flavored. The customer service was impeccable. We sat out on the patio and the sever provided us with bug spray and citronella candle to fight off of the bugs. I would give this restaurant 10 stars. Must try 😋

Great place for dinner. My partner and I are visiting from Dallas, and came here on the recommendation of my Dad. We got there pretty late (around 9:20) so they definitely were not busy at all. Service was very quick and attentive throughout our visit.
I had their seafood pasta; it was excellent and I definitely recommend it. The seafood was perfectly done; the shrimp and calamari had the right amount of bite to them and were not chewy at all. The addition of salmon was a nice touch as well. Sauce was labeled as a light marinara, but in my opinion was closer to a fresh tomato/vegetable sauce. The sauce did contain Bell peppers, which I don't normally care for, but the flavor was not overpowering in this dish.
Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a pretty decent Italian place. Prices were pretty reasonable as well.

What a wonderful place!!!! I went the day after the terrible tragedy in Orlando. Everyone in there was professional, polite, and totally calm. There was a very nice gentleman watching everything and assisting customers with seating and watching everything to keep us safe. The 2 bartenders were adorable and super friendy. There was no mention of last night events and the tv screens were carefully playing things that were upbeat and cheerful. I had a great time and would recommend this place to everyone. The employees behavior was contagious because all the customers were happy and having a great time.

This neighborhood restaurant, which has been there for over 20 years, has excellent food, superior service and a relaxed ambience. Couldn't have found a better place.
Jennifer Bradshaw Kunard
My family and I stayed in DuPont Circle this summer for a family vacation and one of the activities we enjoyed most was strolling around the neighborhood for places to dine. This was one of our great finds. Good fresh food, reasonable prices, and attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely meal.
Amber Lynn Woodard
My boyfriend and I sat on the patio and had a lovely dinner. The drinks were great and the food was even better. A wonderful end to our trip in DC.
Peter Rosenstein
The food was good and the company even better. I have always enjoyed Dupont Kitchen and as the weather gets better sitting on their patio for dinner is great.

Best italian I have had. A limited menu but everything is good
Ann Kaminski
In the mood for yummy Italian bread, piping hot minestrone, tasty goat cheese salad (for those of us with a dairy allergy) and a pasta seasoned with a perfect touch of garlic and dried tomatoes? This is the place for you! My husband had a wonderful lasagna too! Friendly wait staff completed a great night out! Highly recommended!
Vandana Jones
Great food and friendly staff would recommend

Ehh.. wasn't amazing. Waited for a while between drinks and app and meal. They seemed very out of sorts, brought the wrong meal to our table at first. Ordered the salisbury steak and it wasn't very flavorful and undercooked. Soup was ok. Not many mussels for the price. Meal and experience not worth the price.
