    BRUSSELS SPROUTS
    Victoryia G.

    I spent the weekend in DC for my birthday and no matter where I am I crave pizza! We went in the evening after a long day! We chose the outdoor seating because I had my dog. The server was so kind he brought my dog water. The service was great, our waiter was very attentive but not annoying. He was very suprised about our ranch consumption lol.. I ordered pepperoni with sausage and onions along with fries and Brussels! The Brussels were perfect. The pizza was so fresh and cheesy! And the fries... so so good. The best oven baked fries I've ever had. My friend got a "build your own pizza " and the waiter called it a random pizza 10/10 service and the food went perfectly with the vibe. I really appreciated the greenery in the patio area .Dog friendly is a plus!

    14" RANDOLPH PLACE

    I tried takeout from here last night and ordered two pizzas. We got the Crispus Attucks (vegetarian) and Randolph Place (meaty), along with Brussels sprouts and a burrata salad. What stood out to me right away was how refreshingly light the pizzas were. They are not as oily as other spots I've tried, which was perfect for my taste. The dough was fresh and airy, with a nice chew to it. Between the pizzas and sides, the portions were solid--easily enough to feed six females. Overall, it's a great option for a more balanced take on pizzas, especially if you're looking for something satisfying without the grease.

    Fantastic service. They were accommodating for myself and my service dog. The food was incredible. I got the Buffalo Wings as an appetizer and the 10" Eckington. Both were amazing and left nothing to be desired. The atmosphere of the dining room upstairs was comfortable and warm. Felt like a scene out of a movie. Especially if you get one of these balcony seats. 10/10 will be back.

    This is one of those spots I consider to be a "hidden gem" because I've never heard anyone talk about it and it's slightly tucked away in the shaw neighborhood. We stumbled upon it while looking for a dog-friendly spot to grab lunch last Saturday. They have a cute patio which is decorated in two very different ways - the covered patio is very classic, wicker chairs and simple decor (with heaters for once the weather turns colder). The open patio has a very trendy decor style, with faux flowers and a cute wall that would make for a nice photo background. The service was great - we were the first ones there for lunch but even as it got busier, our server was always around and ready to help us out. I grabbed a local Senate lager from Right Proper Brewing Co and my husband grabbed an Amber beer. We started with the French fries and Brussel sprouts, which were good. My husband felt the brusell sprouts were a little undercooked, but I liked them as-is. For pizza: he did a plain cheese and I got the Randolph Place. I loved that so many of the names were true to DC and paid homage to neighborhoods!! I would describe the pizza as similar to a dominoes pizza style - but waaayyyy elevated. They aren't on the same tier at all, but I draw the comparison when thinking of crust thickness; that style of pizza I haven't really had anywhere else. This place uses the highest quality ingredients, everything was fresh, and the pizza was cooked to the PERFECT level of done-ness. Crispy crust, beautiful bubbling of the cheese, and the sauce is JUST right. Next time I was to try one of their organic cocktails which are advertised, and maybe the mozz sticks, which look bomb! This spot, Andy's Pizza, and Della Barba hold the title as top 3 pizza joints in DC (in my mind). Go check them out!

    On a quick trip to DC, when a friend asked if there was a good pizza place in the area, I remembered Bacio's quaint patio on a side street in Shaw. I'm glad I did because on a surprisingly cool summer evening, there was little more one could ask for than sipping on an Aperol spritz here and sharing a bruschetta as the afternoon winded down. We shared a pizza with gorgonzola and caramelized roasted garlic, and a Nona option with chunks of eggplant on top, both delicious pies somewhere between Neapolitan and a NY slice pie. While perusing the menu, we noticed a white cheese filo pastry advertised that sounded suspiciously like sigara böreği. After some inquiring, we found out that the owner is in fact Turkish! We tried an order and enjoyed the unique baked variety paired with marinara sauce.

    Randolph Place

    Unfortunately like so many places that start off great, this is crumbling under terrible customer service. When a place is charging upwards of $40 for a 14" pizza, you have to excel across the board. The city is too expensive for weak excuses.

    Seating Area

    soooooo yum. the food is super good and fresh, the place is super small and cute, but very nice. i would definitely go back, and would be fun for a date night. the staff is great, great restaurant!

    CALZONE (CUSTOMIZED)
    Boobie D.

    uber eats delivered but the calzone was huge && worth every dollar because im sure you cant finish the entire thing in one sitting! all the food was fresh except the mozz sticks were okay as they seems not to be fried enough (thank goodness for a airfryer reheat)! i would for sure order from here again the next time im craving a calzone! might try the pizza next too. its the ninja turtle in me?

    Restaurant was amazing! All the food tasted delicious and came out quickly on Valentine's Day. Can't wait to come back again soon

    Oh how I want to give this place more stars! But, let me share my experience. I was introduced to this place over the weekend and thought I'd give them a personal try. I walk up and there it is a quaint little restaurant. Who would have known! We decide to eat in since they have their patio. The Flies were like vultures and it was hard to eat in peace. I strongly recommend taking out. As we are enjoying the meal, I hear a man start mumbling to himself. He goes in the establishment and comes out with all the employees. He is now scolding all of them, for what I could gather he was upset about trash and dirt on the sidewalk. Personally I didn't notice any of that, the big concern for me were the DC flies that were flying around the pizza. The issue for me was having to watch the employees get in trouble for something so meaningless. It was unprofessional and arrogant. I really love this place but I also love kind people and the owner was a tyrant. I hope he sees this and realizes how his actions made a repeat customer not ever want to come back. Did we receive a hello? Nope! Did he say thanks to us? Nope! Did he ask how are meal was? Nope! Yeah, How logical is that?

From the time I arrived they made me feel special and wasn't even wearing anything that said it was my birthday. I brought a cake with me and I was going to ask how much they charge for storage and they told me "Nothing, it's free of charge". They relieved me so much. Now for the atmosphere, it was so so elegant in there even thinking about it now makes me want to go back just to stare at those wax candles that creates mountains of dripped wax which is its own kind of art. Next, let's take about the mouthwatering and delicious food we had. I ordered the Vodka Sauce Pasta and it was the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I also got a side of garlic bread and it was so crispy, light, buttery, and garlicky, just like I like it. My husband ordered the Drunken Love Pizza and of course I had to try a slice and WOWWWW. That one slice of pizza had me drooling it was so yummy!! Everyone enjoyed their food and it was great time. Now, on to my cake, I'd brought candles, plates, and even a knife with me to cut the cake. To my surprise, they brought the cake out with lit candles and everyone sung Happy Birthday to me. They even cut and served the cake to us. Keep in mind, there was not a charge on the bill for this either. It truly made my birthday even more special. Grazie Nonna, you don't understand how happy you made me feel that day. Thank you so much for the love shown on my special day. I will forever tell people this story. Thank you!

Found it to be a bit louder than I would've liked but I think it was because of the spacing between tables. Came toward the end of the night and got seated and welcomed right away. I ordered the polpette, meatballs to start. They were quite tasty, but the sauce was a bit watery. Think that's just because the meatballs themselves were pretty juicy. Heard the focaccia was a hit, so asked for some of that. I was told they didn't have any left. Which was weird, because then another server came and asked if I wanted bread. I'm glad I said yes because the focaccia is very fresh and was a great addition to the meal. For my main, I ordered the vodka pasta, which was very flavorful and very saucy. I love a good, thick vodka sauce and that's what you'll get here. The one part of the pasta I didn't really enjoy was the chicken inside the pasta. I think I would've preferred a grilled chicken option instead of the chicken that comes in the pasta. That being said, this place is a gem. The prices are great and the portions are hearty. The pasta is thick, you're really coming here for fresh noodles and ingredients. If you want to top your meal off just right, you'll get the chocolate lava cake. Very delicious! Service was good and staff was very attentive!

Now for dinner - we knew this spot was known for its appetizers so we started with the yellow tail crudi (ricciola), the focaccia with the side burrata, and the broccolini. Each appetizer complemented each other so well - the crudo was fresh with bright flavors, the bread was airy and light and was great with the small burrata, and the broccolini was the star of the show - spicy, charred, and exquisite. I could have easily ordered just more apps but we wanted to try some pastas as well. I appreciate that they have both small and large portions of pasta. We tried the small gramigna and the larger portion of the cappelletti. I am usually a fan of red sauces but both white sauce based pastas were some of the best I ever had. Forget some of the other Italian spots in the area, this pasta was hands down amazing. Light, easy, understandable - the flavors were there without doing too much. Both portions were fantastic and a good amount for the $$. No dessert for us - I think the apps and pastas were quite enough. Service was great, we both had a glass of wine with dinner which was tasty, and the vibes were great. Will definitely be back!
