    WOW. I went to Osteria Mozza between their lunch and dinner service for a quick bite. I ordered salad & a pasta and was absolutely blown away by the depth of flavor from the dishes. The salad was so fresh and well balanced, and the pasta was clearly made right at home. I went back again a week later, as a walk in for lunch, and also tried arancini and two pizzas. I really was again blown away by the pure deliciousness of the food! It also is such a beautiful and large restaurant, with multiple levels and different rooms. Easily in the top 2 Italian spots I've tried in DC!

    This is one of our go to places whenever we are in Georgetown, it never disappoints! The inside of the restaurant is absolutely stunning. We have ordered everything from prosciutto + melon appetizer to steaks and pasta, everything is always prepared perfectly and the service is excellent. Will be back often!

    Osteria Mozza nails the atmosphere. The place looks great, service was excellent from start to finish, and the prices are actually more reasonable than I expected for a nice restaurant in DC. That said, the food was a letdown. The mozzarella appetizer was fine but nothing special.. it's cheese and tomato. Everything after that was further disappointing. I wanted to like it because everything else about the experience was solid, but the food is ultimately what matters most. Unless they're having an off night, I don't see myself coming back.

    I had really high hopes for Osteria Mozza after hearing so many great things (since my LA years). First impressions were fantastic. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, the service was warm and attentive, and I was pleasantly surprised that the prices were actually pretty reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber in DC. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to everything else. The mozzarella appetizer was the best thing we ordered and delicious. My pasta dish was noticeably overcooked and mushy, which was disappointing for an Italian restaurant. I kept hoping each bite would get better, but it never really did. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed. I'd happily come back for drinks and the mozzarella, but I don't think I'd return expecting a memorable Italian meal.

    Steak and eggs
    Victoria S.

    Went here for a beautiful weekend brunch. Interior was spacious and immaculate, very airy and nicely decorated. Staff was as welcoming and knowledgeable as can be. We shared several dishes. I got the roasted eggplant piadini. A Margherita pizza was also ordered, as well as the steak and eggs. Everything was delicious. The piadini was a light, puffy and crispy round bread stuffed with a heaping portion of roasted eggplant with a yogurt dressing. A side salad of greens in and oil and vinegar dressing rounded out the meal. The pizza had a thin but chewy and crispy crust with a savory tomato sauce, soft mozzarella and basil. The steak was tender and slightly charred in the exterior. Great place for an intimate meal or groups!

    Tuna crudo. Delicious
    E C.

    From the hostess, Tiffany, at greeting, to the attentive service with Francesco, fresh food and atmosphere, this is a must visit place. Even if stopping in and sitting at a small table at the entrance. Food: Little Gem salad (not shown) is fresh and bite and the pepitas give a great crunch. The crudo was also fresh and delightful.

    So many great things to say about this place, best of all being its STAFF! We stumbled upon this place by chance. I insisted on going in here because they just look like they have good wine. Correct. They did. A great selection of respectable European varietals. We noshed a bit but didn't eat a meal, but I can tell you that the wines would pair incredibly with their menu. We ordered the olive bowl and grilled octopus-- which was made to perfection, btw. Really brought the wine to life. The space omg THAT SPACE! Beautiful, breathable, eclectic and yet wholly European lakeside chateau vibes. We sat at the bar but there was also a huge dining room, a wide green room (glass ceiling so it gave major outdoor vibes without actually being outside, and even a (roomy) private dining room on a mezzanine level that overlooks the dining and bar area. As mentioned, the staff were our favorite part. Special shoutout to Oja (spelling? It's pronounced Oha), Dominic (if I remember correctly), and a member of the catering/events team, who was so warm and professional. We spent most of our time with Oja, who was so delightful we proactively highjacked her time! Definitely will come back much as I can. Everything was such a smooth, professional, and obviously carefully curated operation. A stand-out place in G'town.

    Butterscotch Budino

    We joined as walk-ins for a cocktail and dessert at the bar. What a beautiful Italian restaurant right in the middle of Georgetown. The service was disengaged, but the dessert was delicious and my Negroni was perfect. Definitely try the butterscotch! I will return to try the full experience. PS they even have your favorite Italian spices, pasta, sauce, and other goods for sale as you walk out -- worth a little shopping spree!

    I don't like judging food due to cultural reasons and how I was brought up. I was taught to appreciate food even if it is not upto my standards. That said, being on this app and criticizing food is something of an oxymoron of me. I bring some of the most strict criticism to the fine dining experiences I part take in. Osteria Mozza has been on my list for sometime but getting a reservation was challenging till last year. I finally got to visit last night and honestly, I am impressed. This might be one of my top 20 dining experiences of all time. First of all I want to thank the staff for everything they did fr adjusting my reservation because I was running late, being kind when my guest accidentally dropped a glass and helping us clean. I really appreciate the kindness of the staff. Thank you so much. The place is beautiful. The aesthetic is a mix of old industrial ceilings with retro Italian architecture. Coming to the food. Nothing disappointed me even a tad bit. Everything was just amazing. Starting with the Mozzarella bar. The bread, the dips and the cheese. I was delighted tasting everything. I would just come here again alone for the Mozz Bar. Then the blue prawns were marinated and grilled to perfection. The presentation was 10/10 but the taste was 11/10. The oxtail pasta was delicious! I usually do not go for pasta but this honestly made me fall in love with pasta again. The whole branzino was seared to perfection. It was salty, the skin was crispy, the meat was flaky and cooked simply. There was a bed of herbs under the branzino that tasted out of this world. Last but not the least, the rosemary cake. I now know that one should only eat vanilla ice cream over olive oil. Out of this world! This is an experience worth every penny! 5/5 must go for special occasions!

    10/10!! The service. The food. The ambiance. The inside is so beautiful and there is so much space to sit! There's an upstairs, a main level, a patio, it is huge!! The main attraction for me was the mozzarella bar though... so many options with different types of mozzarella and all so delicious! I did think it would be a salad bar situation with the mozzarella but it is on the menu and it prepared fresh which was even better! I went with a large group and we ordered the arancini, focaccia di recco, sun gold tomato Caprese, burrata and peach, tuna crudo, eggplant ripiene as apps. For entrees we got the pici, goat cheese ravioli, lamp chops, and then for dessert the rosemary olive oil cake and the strawberry gelato pie (so delicious, so unique, and I'd definitely get this again)!!

    dessert

    I came here with family and friends as one of the first restaurants at Georgetown. The ambiance was really nice and the lighting was grea as the sun set in. Most importantly, the server was really kind! He really knew what he was recommending and we loved everything. I especially liked the dessert and the peach salad we got at the beginning.

    We were in town visiting our daughter this weekend and she made us a reservation at this beautiful restaurant in Georgetown. There is plenty of seating in their indoor dining room, as well as in their outdoor air-condioned patio area, or the spacious bar. The menu offers about twenty delicious appetizers, ten pastas, nine entrees, and seven side dishes. Our table started with the sungold tomato caprese, the shaved Brussel sprouts, and the arancini. All three appetizers tasted great. For entrees we had the rigatoni alla carbonara, the mafaldine, the goat cheese ravioli, and the beef tagliata. We also had the sweet potato side dish which was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their entrees but the standouts were the mafaldine and the beef tagliata. Service from Daniel was outstanding.

    Complimentary birthday dessert

    Came here recently Saturday night to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends. The restaurant is nice, and has an energetic vibe! The bar was packed too. Service was great--our server Mili was friendly and attentive. We started off with the Nancy's Caesar and Shaved Brussel Sprouts--the Caesar was disappointing, just a few pieces of lettuce and oddly presented. Pastas were delicious and flavorful but were relatively small portions--we enjoyed the Mafaldine, Rigatoni, and Linguine & Clams. The 24oz. Grilled Porcini-Rubbed Ribeye was huge--well flavored, tender and cooked perfect! Whole Branzino Alla Piastra was just okay--fish was soft but it lacked flavored, would have been better more seasoned or accompanied by a sauce. For sides, highly recommend the Sweet Potatoes! Roasted Cauliflower was good but it looked like broccoli since it was green, but tasted like a cauliflower. For dessert, Mili brought out a birthday dessert (ice cream with cookie) and a lit candle for the celebration! We also tried the Tiramisu and Apple Crisp. Cocktails were on point and prices started off at $16-17 a drink. We had an awesome experience, would definitely come back!

For cocktails, my wife got a cantaloupe cobbler and I got the pornstar martini without the caviar. Both drinks were great, we ended up sharing another cantaloupe cobbler since that's a drink we've never seen before. For food, we shared the cesare salad and the famous lasagna. The cesare salad was really good with the absolute perfect amount of Parmesan cheese. We really enjoyed it but next time we come we'd try other things. Now for the lasagna. It was absolutely incredible. As we were eating it, we were joking of ordering another one just after our first bite. It was the best lasagna we've ever had and I've had some pretty great lasagna before. For dessert, we shared the vanilla and cantaloupe swirl ice cream. It was amazing. The cantaloupe was so different and just such a great idea especially for the summer. They also brought out a mini chocolate mouse cake with a candle in it and a card for our anniversary. I'm not much for cake but this was light and decadent. It was a very sweet thing for the restaurant to do. We cannot wait for our next time back in DC to come back here. It is a must try.

The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist. Since the restaurant is connected to a food hall of sorts, she recommended we grab a drink there while we wait. Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal. If you're looking for excellent Italian food in DC without breaking the bank, look no further than Caruso's grocery!

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!

I decided to try the pizza this go around and it did not disappoint. The crust was cooked perfectly and not soggy despite it being on the thin side. It was a large pizza and definitely enough for two people or to take home. I could taste the truffle which was a hit. I would definitely order this again or my old faithful fettuccine alfredo!

    We had a great first experience at Grazie Nonna. First of all - the space is so cute. We loved the…read moregothic-granny's house vibes inside. And they have a super cute patio outside that's far enough off the main street to be quiet and shaded. We started with cocktails. I especially enjoyed the Elderflower Spritz. You gotta have a spritz at an Italian place, right?? Then, we had our appetizers - the tuna tartare and buratta. Both were fresh, pretty and tasty! We loved the panzanella salad with the creamy burrata. And the tuna tartare was chopped nicely and seasoned well. The standout for us was their pizza though. Mamma mia!! The Drunken love with pepperoni and vodka sauce was to die for. Their pizza is like a mix between NY style and Neapolitan. The crust is crispy and puffy. It took a lot of will power to not eat the whole thing. The pastas fell a little short for us. The alfredo was just ok- not the best flavor. And the pesto was really soupy and a huge portion. Definitely, more Italian American than traditional Italian. We wrapped up the dinner with a cannoli brownie. A fun take on the classic Italian dessert. Overall, a delicious meal! We will be back for pizza FOR SURE.

    classy and cute italian restaurant near the convention center -- my boyfriend and i came by for a…read morelate lunch while visiting the city. we were seated pretty much immediately in a spacious round booth and were introduced to our server -- tim deserves a special shoutout, super friendly and accommodating, and great at talking up the menu and each dish we chose. between the two of us, we ordered the whipped ricotta and wild blossom honey focaccia to start, with the prosciutto tortelloni and lobster fra diavolo as our mains. the focaccia was a perfect balance of lightly creamy and slightly sweet with the bread (not too dry or hard, and easy to spread). the pasta was advertised as made in house, and certainly was delicious and bouncy enough to be believed. sauces were balanced nicely and pleasantly complimented their pastas appropriately. we finished off with the pistachio gelato -- gelato is apparently made in house as well with a machine in the back, and was soft and creamy, paired with a strawberry that was nicely gelatinous and almost a highlight of the dessert. we definitely wish we could come back a lot more often if we lived in the area.

For drinks she ordered the RMP spritz, which she loved, and I had a martini, which was great. For food, we started with the whipped ricotta, which was delicious. We then shared the Brussel sprout salad, meatballs, vodka pasta, and spicy broccolini. Everything was split in two plates, which made sharing a breeze! The service was top notch as well.
