Can’t really go wrong with a $10 pizza at happy hour. Went on a Sunday at like 4 so was kinda dead but was just there for the affordable eats.

Al dente was a great experience from start to finish! The ambience in there is lovely! Nice and romantic so great for a date night! I was able to park with ease. Food- I cannot complain! I got the lasagna and cauliflower, and my friend got one of the pasta and I believe fried zucchini. I forget the cocktails we got both both were fantastic! I would definitely go back again! Server was kind as well and they were always clearing off the dirty dishes. I also love a place that comes with bread :)

Really tasty - couldn’t decide so we ended up with the Italian family feast. We got the fettuccine bolognese, Cesar salad, cacio e peppe, pepperoni and sausage and broccoli rabe pizza. The fettuccine bolognese was delicious. Massive portions of everything, the rigatoni was rich and creamy smothered in cheese. Pizza was solid - had to tap out after the pepperoni slice since so much food. Overall delivery was solid and we will hopefully be able to go in person.

Not bad! The venue is really nice (plenty of indoor seating along with some outdoor tables) and clean. Food took a bit too long to arrive, though. The zucchini blossoms were excellent and the salads looked good. I ordered homemade pasta that was good, texture wise, but quite salty.

Ordered takeout for restaurant week and it was a great deal for some really delicious dishes. For pastas, we tried the bolognese and cacio e pepe. The cacio e pepe was ever so slightly over salted but the bolgonese was creamy, cheesy, and delicious. For pizzas, we tried the pepperoni and the salsiccia e rapini - both were great and we’ll definitely order again!

Amazing food! Really great service, and good vibes. Parking is also free after 5pm, and I believe they discount it before that. Happy hour is AMAZING!

Northern Italian cuisine. Roberto Dona is a true talent and a gift to DC cuisine. The original celebrity chef.

Very professional, attending, and DELICIOUS. Great place for fine dinning. They really tried to make an effort in offering fine dining experiences to their take-out customers.

Came here for restaurant week and it did not disappoint. Obviously only a handful of customers so great service. And delicious food.

Love their food and service! Authentic Italian food. Dishes with less common meats like wild boar, duck, and oxtail are on the menu. They are all very tasty and not gamey as I would have thought. Dine in indoors and outdoors, take out, and delivery are all available. Great wine selections too!

I picked this restaurant after finding it online, it was further away then expected but overall still great!! We came specifically for happy hour, their food was VERY reasonably priced, very delicious, and very filling. The drinks were flavorful and worth it! The manager was out and about trying to help and all the staff was very nice and respectful! We had a great time!
