Bruschetta and a cosmo.

Food was delish! Owner and chef were welcoming and friendly. Great ambiance. Owner graciously shared some live music hot spots and other great restaurants in town. I would return again.

This place was amazingly good. The server got a little tripped up (I think she's new) on putting things in to order, but that's okay, no biggie. Our drin were tasty and the food hot and delicious. I haven't seen these place when visiting down here before, so it was a nice little treat. I loved the meatballs. They were huge and had a nice subtle flavor paired with the penned pasta($4 extra ),my friends had the baked manicotti, she said it was like her mom made so injured that's a plus. My husband's shrimp parmigiana was really good he said about 5 -6 jumbo shrimp. The prices were great, the portions were good. I would love to come back when I visit down here again

Eggplant Parmigiana

Found this delightful restaurant while walking down 18th Street NW in Adam's Morgan. What a more than pleasant surprise!!! Charlie was an exceptional host and chef and we enjoyed our meal thoroughly. Everything was cooked from scratch and to perfection. The decor was elegant and cozy and the atmosphere was very inviting. We will be enjoying another wonderful dine very soon.

Meatball Parmigiana Hot Sub to go.

Very solid. Tried takeout this afternoon for lunch. Split a chicken Caesar wrap and meatball sub with fries. Phenomenal fries. I added old bay based on personal preference. Great blend of soggy / crunchy fries. Chicken Caesar wrap was very good. Might need just a little more chicken, but very solid for lunch. Meatball sub was solid. Moving forward I would probably ask they don't toast it because the sub roll was pretty hard and flaky but still good. Would love it if they added some Italian subs etc. for the lunch hour. Overall excited about having them in the neighborhood and look forward to trying the dinner items.

Bruschetta

The food was sooo good! We went as a group of 7 and our server did a great job handling everyone's order. I got the bruschetta and chicken cacciatore and was very impressed with the flavors out of each dish. Will definitely be back!

I came here with friends to catch up…read more Location was great. Right on the side of the convention center. It was clean and a the energy was great there. Customer service was great. Our service was great and the server was great. Literally not one bite of any item we ate was nothing less than 5 stars. The buffalo cauliflower and sweet potato house rolls were amazing appetizers. My double cheeseburger and fries was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. The meat was so rich in flavor. The fries were a perfect mix of outside crispiness and soft inside. My girlfriend got the pot roast rendang and the salted caramel ice cream. Both were so good. This is spot was amazing and I highly recommend this location and plan to stop here anytime I'm in the area visiting.

There is usually a line, but with seating inside, outside and at the bar, it is usually not a long wait. I opt to the sit at the bar since I was participating in a conference and needed a quick turnaround. Server acknowledged me right away as he was preparing drinks for another patron. I was extremely impressed with the menu offering which had traditional breakfast items mixed with fresh veggies, and spices from around the world. I ordered the Brussel sprouts with fried egg whites. It was delicious and extremely filling. I savored each and every bite. The only thing I would have preferred would have been more coffee offerings. The food here is truly king and I can work with that!

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not. I knew I wanted a burger but was struggling with choosing which one. Hubs knew he wanted the Cheesesteak and knew I wanted fries. I went with the Smokehouse burger. We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.
