This is a building that houses 4…read moredifferent restaurants: Aglio e Oglio (Italian), Chilango Bar & Grill (Tex-Mex), La Habicuela Guisá (Puerto Rican), and El Fogón Del Rey (steaks and burgers). This last will will join soon, from what was explained to me. Basically, these 4 restaurants share the same owner. He bought the building and decided to move them here. I guess it's easier and cheaper to manage all under one roof. What also makes this neat is that no matter which restaurant you choose to eat at, you can order from the menu of either place. No more arguing over what/where to eat. This restaurant is the first one in this District we've tried. Based on our experience, we ware willing to give the others a shot. The restaurant is nice. It has two floors. On the first you have the kitchen, few tables, and a bar. Upstairs tou have a larger dining area and bar. There is also an outdoor patio. A previous reviewer complained that the first thing you see when you walk in is the kitchen. What you really see is the pizza station, which I think is cool. You get to see the pizzaiolo preparing and cooking the pizzas. Our son loved this. Behind the pizza station is the kitchen. We started with a Provoleta Napolitana. We'd never had Provoleta before, which is a popular Argentinian dish. Think queso fundido but with Italian flavors and bread instead of chips. It seemed like a deconstructed pizza. It was interesting and good. For the main course I had the La Pesto pizza, which had pesto sauce, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and peppers. Excellent. Tasty crust that had a nice balance of crispness and chewiness. The pizza was medium sized, so it can be eaten by 1-2 people, depending g on appetite. My wife went with the ossobuco with mushroom risotto. It was also excellent, especially the risotto. If you like mushrooms you'll like this risotto. The reason I take a star away is for the service. Don't get me wrong, the servers were nice. Unfortunately, there were only two servers that night (Sunday). Talk about being short staffed. Hats off to them because they were hussling and wearing several hats: servers, bussers, and bartenders. Even though they did a good job, we did have to wait a lot for service. Hopefully, this is t a running issue because not everyone is patient. Food was worth it, though. Also, they do brunch on the weekends with unlimited mimosas.

Both lived up to the standards the rest of the meal had set. I can't wait to come back to Puerto Rico so I can enjoy their delicious food again. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

We ordered a bottle of Fiano (a wine we really enjoy and was on the menu). They didn't have it. We settled for Chardonnay. It was good. We asked for bread. They didn't have any!!! (What? An Italian restaurant with no bread?) not a great start. Having said all that, the rest for our food was amazing! The arancini and the eggplant were exquisite. I ordered the steak (yeah I know) but it was amazing. The sauce, the potatoes. Just delicious. Our guests had the lasagna and my husband ordered the pizza. They were very satisfied with their meals. The ambiance is quaint. Old Italian. Clean. I would train servers to know what's available and what's not. Prevent from ordering and being disappointed. In addition, if you don't have bread and make pizza, you have bread. You can make it out of pizza dough in a pinch for those who ask. Italian red sauce without bread... it's a big miss. If your equipment is broken, buy the bread. I think they should have given us the dessert based on the misses. Nonetheless, the entrees were very good.

I ordered the Rigatoni Amatriciana and it was perfect in flavor and cooking They do not make their own pasta as many Americanized Italian restaurants claim, but use the genuine De Cecco brand for all dishes. My research shows that it is a very recognized Italian brand. However, they do make their own gnocchi. I also ordered a glass of House Chianti Wine and they served complimentary focaccia bread with oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper. The server was extremely attentive and educational explaining why they avoid dishes with eggs because they cannot get the flavorful eggs from Italy in Puerto Rico. They are located at a somewhat unimpressive location that is very charming uncomfortable once you are inside. They do not have much parking space, but offer valet parking. Feel confident that this is one of the very few genuine Italian restaurants in the Metro area.

However this…read moreyear they have changed the menu dramatically and the portion sizes are tiny for most items now, yet the prices are higher! The original chef has left so not sure who is in charge of the kitchen now... For example the ravioli "bolognese" is 5 or 6 little raviolis with a basic red sauce. It literally looks like a child's portion and doesn't actually have a bolognese sauce. Both appetizer salads (there's a beet salad and a fruit salad) used to be a full plate but now it's about 1/3 of the plate and they've removed the pomegranate seeds. The pizza is still a normal size so if you want to enjoy the pretty ambiance just come and get pizza and the ensalada mista. Everything else isn't worth the price anymore.
