We had initially planned to to dinner at Casamara but they ended up having room in the upstairs patio so we upgraded to that. Atmosphere is just ok IMO. The view is nothing special so you're paying rooftop prices for kind of meh accommodations. We did get a glimpse of the actual restaurant on our walk to the elevator and the interior was really elegant ... the kind of place I'd love to be at on date night. The biggest disappointment though was the pared down menu. I get it but still. I had the amberjack crudo which was pleasant and the whipped feta which was good but a tad on the runny side. Service was decent .... if a bit distracted. Looking forward to trying the actual restaurant.
It was time to celebrate my good gf engagement and this place had the menu and ambiance just for that. It's cozy, with such tasteful decor--perfect for girls night, date night, or couples night. We both started off with the sun-kissed fizz. Absolutely delicious, absolutely unfortunate that sobriety is priced at $12+ dollars these days. We shared everything! We had the sardine toast and grilled cabbage salad. I could not get down with the sardine itself, and I believe it's because I'm used to eating tinned fish that's smoky or in a sauce so I couldn't get pass the plain, fishy taste. I did nibble on the sourdough bread tho, such a delicious buttery bite. The cabbage salad was incredible! I don't enjoy pomegranate often because of the seed at the end but I could not tell with this dish. Every single component of this salad was perfect, well designed and delicious. We then moved on the the branzino, steak, and potatoes. The branzino? Chef's kiss. Seasoned and cooked perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing. We asked for our steak to be cooked medium well (medical reasons) and they provided us with a very well done serving :( the mushroom and onion jus saved the day and made it edible. Moving on, the roasted potatoes were very tasty--no crispy edges but that didn't matter. Should they switch up their technique to allow such? 10000/10! We ended our meal with the cheesecake and brown butter gelato. Would we order it again? Heck yes! We had such a good time, we plan to return with our beauxs! They are supposed to start doing brunch in March/April too. Can't wait since they have a rooftop! I think our waiter was Missy? But idr, she was did her job pretty well!
My partner and I went to Casamara this evening after work. For appetizers, we tried the Potato & Mozzarella Dumpling and Crispy Calamari. The calamari was amazing, the breading was crisp. The dumplings were something I had never had before, and we really enjoyed them. They were airy, not overly cheesy, and just delightful. For our entrees, we had the Branzino and Wagyu Braised Rigatoni, with a side of Brussels sprouts. The temperature was a little off, but the dishes were still enjoyable. The branzino was light and fresh, and the pasta was hearty and filling. I wish the Brussels sprouts were a bit crispier, but the seasoning and flavors were spot on. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with a few small tweaks that could make it even better.
After having a fantastic dinner experience, I was more than happy to return for their rooftop Sunday brunch. This was a completely different experience and the dichotomy is shocking. I was seated a bit a before our reservation and waiting on my friend, who was running a bit late. I perused the menu and wanted to order an appetizer and a drink. However, a server never came to check on me. Instead, three or four servers walked by, looked in my direction, and kept walking. It wasn't until my 15 minutes after my friend had joined when we asked for service. We were waiting, hoping our server would stop by, but it was not until we asked. We should've left then. Our server was incredibly rude and dismissive. The look on their face was priceless when asked about N/A drinks. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. My friend's mocktail arrived 20 minutes later, my pan con tomate arrived 25 minutes later, and her patatas bravas arrived 30 minutes later. Our server stopped by once to check on us and then we flagged them to get the check. However, the server promptly served their other tables, with one table being seated quite a bit after us, and receiving food and drinks before us. This was an extremely upsetting experience. Our food was good and I wanted to order more, but could not fathom supporting Casamara further. I'm not sure why our server did not ask someone else to serve us, if they had some sort of issue. An email to the restaurant went unanswered.
Casamara was a 10/10. From the warm greeting to the attentive service and amazing food. The restaurant is beautifully designed. It feels warm, cozy, and chic all at the same time. I'll definitely be back! Côte d'Amour $16 - 5/5 if you love gin and elderflower, this light refreshing yet strong drink is for you! I'd go by the bar for one of these just because! Crab $24 - 5/5 very light and flavorful dish! It was recommended that we stuff the crab in the bread like a sandwich. Yummy! Potato & Mozzarella Dumpling $16 - 4/5 this was a nice well rounded dish. The mozzarella and potato melt in your mouth. Truffle Bucatini Cacio e Pepe $24 - 5/6 some of the best e Pepe I've ever had. Get this dish! Confit Lamb Shoulder $42 - 5/5 so yummy. The combo of flavors work well with the lamb. Harissa Roast Chicken $38 - 5/5 the chicken was the star of the show. You would literally cut it with a fork. Very juicy and moist! Fennel & Heirloom Beans $15 -3/5 nice flavor but the beans were undercooked. This side dish was not a recommendation by our server. Go with the potatoes!
I had a great time at Casamara! Amazing space, great service and good food that you have to try. Casamara is a beautiful restaurant that's perfect for dinner with friends, a date night or a late night happy hour. It has a upscale modern vibe but is also cozy, warm and welcoming. There is plenty of space for dining whether you want to make reservations or have dinner at the bar. We went during the week around 6pm and it wasn't a lot of people there at first but it filled up quickly as the evening moved on. Our server was very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave us great suggestions from the menu that were very helpful. The food was really good! The truffle bucatini cacio e pepe was delicious with plenty of flavor and the harissa roasted chicken had sooooooo much flavor and was cooked to perfection. I also really enjoyed the potato and mozzarella dumpling. It was great way to kick off the meal and you really can't go wrong with potatoes and cheese. We also had the confit lamb shoulder and the fennel and heirloom beans. The lamb shoulder was pretty good but the beans weren't for me. The service, the food and the ambiance at Casamara were great. I will definitely return to try more items on the menu and would highly recommend to others.
Casamara absolutely deserves 5 stars. The service is warm and genuine -- true hospitality. The space is beautiful, and the food and drinks are just as good. I'm a simple girl: if I see branzino, I order it. This one is excellent, and the potatoes with it are divine. The crab dish is a must. The otoro & melon was another standout. Great cocktails (I'm partial to Donatello's Kiss) and a solid wine list. I'll have to try dessert next time...and don't miss the rooftop!
Casamara is a see and be seen spot, and I'm here for it. It's in a hotel but honestly you can't really tell, the restaurant is such a vibe. I love the bar concepts on the property too. Reynolds is swanky, sleek and serves great cocktails. I'll have to check out Casamara's rooftop, which is open on weekends. Dinner service was a bit slow and our waiter was hard to find at times. The food came pretty quickly though and everything was delicious. The bacon wrapped dates and focaccia are must haves for the table. The potato dumplings were a super unique dish that we enjoyed but had room for improvement. The apple tart was a satisfying way to end the meal & I'll be back to try more sweets and savory dishes. Great spot for a nice date night!
I went for a birthday celebration with a friend and Casamara did not disappoint...from the ambience, to the impeccable service, beautiful decor and delicious food. We started with a bottle of Billecart-Salmon, which already impressed me as most restaurants do not carry. It's one of my favs. Appetizers: homemade focaccia, Grilled cabbage salad and crispy artichokes. Highly recommend all. I do have a yogurt intolerance so they accommodated us by putting the dressing in the side. Wish they had just tahini as an option but was fine with just lemon juice. Other reviewers raved about the octopus pasta but both the pasta and entree were sold out so couldn't try it. Main: lamb rotolo - think of a pinwheel. Delicious - just wish it had a dollop of ricotta in the side in addition to what they put on top. The one piece on the bottom didn't have any ricotta. Dessert: the lemon tart & strawberry rhubarb sorbet were the perfect, refreshing combo! Service: luxury service - would give 5-stars. Glasses were never empty, finished plates cleared quickly - couldn't have asked for a better experience! Afterwards we went to Reynold's for a few more cocktails - it's located in the back of the hotel. Great place for a drink before or after.
We tried this new spot on an early Tuesday evening. It was very easy to get reservations, but we probably could have walked in. The space is gorgeous. You cannot recognize it from the previous tenant. The food was delicious. We got the gnocchi with morel mushrooms and the lamb rotolo pasta. Both were really good. We split the Basque cheesecake which was very large and delicious. The cocktails are super creative. They also have mocktails. My friend wanted one of the mocktails which they were out of, but the bartender made something off menu for her and she was very happy. I will definitely be back. I'm excited for brunch and when the rooftop space in the hotel opens.
Casamara has only been open two weeks and it's crushing the game--I would come back soon. The only thing that could make it better is if they had a happy hour menu (even bar only) for the after work crowd in the area. The appetizer menu is stacked, and I basically wanted to try them all. Our server recommended several, and we went with the stuffed dates, which were delicious. I mean, how can you go wrong with dates, cheese, bacon, and maple? With a six-piece portion size, it was perfect for splitting. But the star of the show, and what I will 100% come back for, is the Octopus Casarecce pasta. On first bite, I knew it was a winner, and immediately inhaled my dish. It was so, so good and I know I will order it again. A bit spicy in a good way! And a fair (neither overly small or large) portion. This dish alone merits a 5 star review in my book. I was the least impressed by dessert. I ordered the chocolate mousse and it was fine, even good, but not something I feel the need to order again, especially with how full I was after the pasta. I would also say I didn't love the their spin on espresso martini (from the dessert menu) as it tasted like straight espresso without any balance or nuance to the flavor. It was so coffee-forward, I didn't finish mine--and I never leave food or drink behind! However, my other drink, the Côte d'Amour, and my friend's drink, the Acqua Verde, were both delicious and I would order them again. The service was great, with two servers tag teaming to provide clean silverware, napkin folds, water refills, and food recommendations at the caliber of a luxury restaurant. I hope the service stays top tier when they get busier and have been open longer. My only complaint on the service would be that the server recommended we get three appetizers for two people which just seemed absurd and possibly like an upsell. We were only two people--how could we possibly eat 1.5 appetizers and an entree each? This isn't tapas... made for an awkward start when we only ordered one, and I genuinely could not have consumed more. The small room is also beautiful, with a gorgeous bar as the centerpiece. Shortly into dining (on a Wednesday) the lights were turned down and the bass turned up, which was an interesting choice that may have been more appropriate for a weekend. But the vibes were good and it would make a good date or girls night spot.
What a night in DC! Barrett & Whitney (representing the locals), Andy & Alisa (in from Birmingham), Spencer & Phoebe (holding it down from NYC), and I (representing hometown Dallas) set out in search of a spot for a family dinner that felt special but not stuffy. Ivy pulled baby duty with Warner--she was definitely missed--but the rest of us rallied. After scrolling through options, the description of Casamara on Yelp sealed the deal, and wow, did it deliver. Whit had the genius idea to do everything family-style, which turned out to be perfect for our crew of seven. Once drinks were in hand and the menus ogled over, I teamed up with our stellar waiter, Louis, to orchestrate the feast: - Two NY Strips, perfectly cooked and pre-sliced for easy sharing - Two butterflied whole Branzinos, meaty and crisp-skinned - One Harissa Chicken with just the right kick - Plus a lineup of sides and starters: Wild Boar Gemelli Pasta, Roasted Beets, Roasted Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, and plenty of warm Focaccia Every dish hit the mark--beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and portioned just right. Service was spot-on, too--Louis and the team had us covered without a hitch. Our only tiny gripe? The volume! The energy was great, but the noise level made conversation a bit of a challenge. Still, minor quibble aside, it was another picture-perfect evening for the Gold-Sokol-Lewis crew. read more

I visited this rooftop and was pushed by this white woman bartender/waitress. I also was with my fiance. And the bouncer carded him and my friends, saw me with him holding his hand, and chose to let in the group of white people next to us and made me wait to be carded even tho we told them we were a group of 10 and we were all together. read more

The combo of flavors work well with the lamb. Harissa Roast Chicken $38 - 5/5 the chicken was the star of the show. You would literally cut it with a fork. Very juicy and moist! Fennel & Heirloom Beans $15 -3/5 nice flavor but the beans were undercooked. This side dish was not a recommendation by our server. Go with the potatoes! read more

We were able to get a dinner reservation at Casamara over the weekend and we were incredibly impressed. First of all, the customer service from the moment you walk in, is phenomenal! The hostesses were so friendly and welcoming, helped us check in our umbrellas and basically just started the experience off on a great foot! The drinks were delicious! I had the Acqua Verde which was a cucumber/kiwi drink. Not too sweet and very refreshing. My friend tried the Pepperoncini-Tini but she wasn't a fan and that ok! Between the two of us we had the fritto misto, octopus casarecce and the lamb! All were outstanding!!!! The restaurant itself has great ambiance and is very chic whether it be for a date night or a girls night out! 10/10 would recommend! read more

What I ordered: The potato & mozzarella dumplings - skip Cod croquettes from the seven fishes menu- consider Branzino - consider Potatoes - skip The best thing I had was the croquette. Generally the food is salty and the potatoes were very salty. The service was great. A great place for a nice date. It doesn't really pull me to want to come back here though read more

The name caught my eye *wink*. I love the decor and vibe of the rooftop. Staff were super friendly and helpful with questions regarding the menu. I enjoyed my drink and LOVED the fried olives!!! The bar bites are a bit pricey....just an FYI. It's best to reserve a table or bar seat when going. I will def go back for those olives!!! read more
I have visited three times within 30 days and the food is exquisite. The flavors are unmatched and I can not wait to visit again. I have tried the grilled oysters, cabbage salad, scallops, pasta, branzino and shrimp. The decor is luxurious and the service is definitely reflective of the atmosphere. read more

Tasty little egg croissant sandwich with the perfect touch of chili oil. They serve Illy coffee & Espresso drinks. Convenient place for breakfast if staying at the Sixty. We came back for dessert at the end of the night and that did not disappoint. My favorite was the panna cotta, my husband had the cheesecake, we also tried the olive oil cake, all of them were delicious. read more

Fantastic. Would reorder everything we ate next time we go. The lamb confit doesn't look super appetizing in my picture but was the best dish we had. Please order it and enjoy. Shout out to the bartenders --Dimitri and Dimitri -- for taking care of us. read more
Casamara is lovely. Intimate space, gold accents, comfy chairs, a bar in the center of the room that keeps it festive. A server came right up to us to order "first sips" which I always appreciate - I'm ready to get my drink on the moment I sit down. Enjoyed the Cote d'Amour cocktail in a generous-sized glass, and later a cab sauv with my ribeye steak - a little thinner than I like but perfectly cooked with a great crust and roasted garlic on the side). Had to try the highly recommended sardine toast and it is definitely a winner. My spouse loved his octopus pasta and the melt-in-your-mouth potato and truffle dumplings. The surprising finish was a seasonal sourdough gelato, the concept of which sounded odd at first but then, damn! So delicious and I hope they keep it on the menu forever. They had a catch-of-the-day menu that included branzino, halibut, and others - I'll try next time because there will definitely be a next time. Excellent service overall (shout out to Missy), a perfect place for date night or a place to impress your family and friends. read more

Casamara has it all - amazing food, great staff, and an upscale but fun vibe. Our server was incredibly friendly and made great recommendations. While all the food was delicious, the dumplings were the dish of the night. The cauliflower was also the perfect side to accompany the branzino. If you're looking for a new spot to add to your DC rotation, definitely give Casamara a try! read more

We stayed at Sixty DC and the hotel's restaurant, Casamara, was excellent. On our first night, we had a pasta dish that was out of this world -- it was so good we went back the next night to have it again, along with the branzino, which was absolutely amazing. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Adrian, was wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. His recommendation of the branzino made our night. read more

Trying out new restaurants can be a roll of the dice, in this case it paid off! From the moment we stepped into the establishment, we were greeted with excellent hospitality and a tasteful, contemporary midtown ambiance. For an appetizer we tried the Mussels On Toast, which was a simple and elegant blend of traditional and new. The briny, delicate taste of the mussels is complemented by the sweet and acidic notes of paprika, red pepper, butter, sherry, garlic aioli and French parsley soaked into the fresh deep-dish bread that it rests atop. For our main course we enjoyed the panini pressed Bronzino and Ricotta Gnocchi which were both proportionately plated and properly prepared. The combination of the gnocchi's pillowy texture and the acidic sorrel pesto, purple broccoli, hazelnuts, and pangrattato was savory. Add this restaurant to your evening out list! Cheers read more

For apps, we had the branzino crudo, the crispy artichoke, the bacon wrapped stuffed dates, the mozzarella potato dumplings, the mouthwatering house made focaccia (which came with a delicious sun dried tomato butter), and the cabbage salad. All were truly amazing -- I would order everything again. The cabbage salad is a must get - it was so unique, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing! For the main course, the cacio e pepe was delicious, and the branzino was the best we had ever had. Definitely check out Casamara for an all-around amazing Mediterranean meal! read more
