    a variety of chocolates
    Sarah E.

    A fun activity for our group to do together, we booked a chocolate tasting at the Chocolate House. We were guided through the history of the cacoa plant, how it came to be chocolate, and how it is processed. Our group very much enjoyed the tasting and the interaction with the staff, we kept comparing our notes. It was a great experience and highly recommend for something different! We spent a little time after shopping the chocolate in the shop and walked away with some goodies!

    I may have found my new favorite gourmet chocolate shop in DC. I wanted to get my SO some quality chocolates for Valentines Day, which is how I stumbled across the Chocolate House. I ordered the Christopher Elbow Valentine's Day Collection chocolates through their website and selected a local pick-up. The staff is extremely friendly and had no problem with me picking up the item a day late. My SO and I really enjoyed the unique flavors and hope to try more of their original chocolate. Overall, they have a ton of great selection and I highly recommend this spot to all my chocolate lovers!

    What a lovely surprise. I didn't personally go to the store, so I can't really rate the service or ambiance. However, these pretty pieces of chocolates were delicious. I'm so grateful to have received some as a gift. They are well decorated and flavorful. Each piece was unique, light, smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. Definitely recommended.

    Very pleased with an online order. I'm not local but wanted to do something small for a friend in the area who was having a stressful week. I placed an online order for 15 truffles with a note that my friend prefers white and milk chocolates. She received a beautiful box, pictured, within the same week, even though it's close to the holidays.m, and said she really enjoyed them.

    Over brunch with this morning, I explained to my companions that we simply had to stop into Biagio after our meal. Apparently we were not the only ones with this idea on the eve of Valentine's Day - the store was packed. Still, this didn't stop staff members from spending quality time to help answer questions (mine, of course, revolved around the Recchiuti selection.) The woman who helped me even went in back to give me a catalog so I could be well-informed of the Valentine box's content. After some internal debate I decided to get an eight piece assorted box - peanut butter caramel, raspberry tea, fleur de sel caramel, yuzu, fleur de sel, salted butter caramel, earl grey, strawberry balsamic - from the case. A special touch that delighted me was discovering that each of my selections were handwritten on a legend so when I open it up I'll know exactly what I'm eating! My fabulous friends also surprised me with Michel Cluizel hot chocolate mix in an irresistible milk-churn tin. The only French hot chocolate mix available at Biagio, I'm keen to see how it measures up to recent chocolat chaud samplings in Paris! Absolutely awesome to see this little chocolate store going strong more than two years after I first set foot inside. A definite Dupont Circle gem!

    I'm in chocolate heaven! What an awesome chocolate shop in the Adam's Morgan/DuPont Circle area. A chocolate tasting this past weekend brought me there and I was really impressed with their selection of international gourmet chocolates. They serve everything from 100% dark chocolate (umm, bitterness anyone?!) to goat's milk chocolate with sea salt, drinking chocolate, local chocolate, fair trade, organic, and everything in between. Perfect place to grab a gift for that picky chocolate lover. What really impressed me was the level of customer service. The staff takes chocolate seriously and they know their stuff. Very friendly staff and super helpful. Note: This is a very small shop (with a back room for tastings, etc.); however, they aren't short on selection and charm. Definitely check it out. You will be in chocolate heaven too.

    ***500th Review!*** This is by far one of the cutest boutiques I have been to in DC, with a wide variety of locally made products and free chocolate samples all around the store. They also have fantastic truffle making class; the 50% off Yelp coupon makes it really worthwhile. My friend and I signed up together and over the course of 1.5 hours ended up making twenty delicious spicy truffles. In between steps, we chatted with the super friendly employees about tasting chocolate, and browsed in the front of the store. In short, if you are ever in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, I would highly recommend checking this place out!

    I went with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. Very cute, but small. If I didn't have my friend who went here before, show me where it was, I wouldn't have found it. Chocolate filled from top to bottom. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and nice. Very knowledgeable about all the chocolates that were there. This is a great place for a cute chocolate gift for that chocolate lover in your life.

We asked our friendly waiter, and they stated the chef was from Spain, but they had schnitzel on the menu right next to lamb meatballs, and octopus. It was middle-eastern, Mediterranean, American, and anything else you could imagine. Also, amazingly, the menu was small, and, in my opinion, this is the mark of a great restaurant. Give me a menu where I want EVERYTHING on the menu. Make me regret filling up on the spectacular lamb shank and not have any room left for the 3 things I couldn't possibly try without returning. We had an amazing time. The bar is lively and, if you're dining in the "outside" portion, do not fear the cold. The patio is encapsulated in glass and the heat lamps are turbo-charged. It's difficult to stand out for amazing food in Dupont Circle, with the literally dozens of top-notch choices, and constant emergence of new possibilities. Go to Residents. You'll have zero regrets and vow to return.

Ordered the bottle of cava ($45 or $13 per glass) which was nice and dry and not at all sour/acidic. We also enjoyed the burrata dish, which came with peas, snapped peas, and green beans and strawberries. I'm used to a summer burrata salad but this was very refreshing and very nice. Loved the ambiance of the covered patio which features cherry blossoms. So cute! Service was really attentive, we loved our waitress Sarah.

The staff was incredibly welcoming, and our server was attentive without being overbearing. We weren't in the mood for anything too heavy, so we ordered two flatbreads - the prosciutto and the grilled chicken - and they honestly exceeded expectations. They're served on a thin lavash-style base, which made them feel light but still really satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. They start you off with soft bread and olive oil, which was such a nice touch. We were way too full for dessert, but definitely saving that for next time. Also, no exaggeration - one of the best espresso martinis I've had. I tried a limoncello spritz for the first time too, and I don't even like Aperol spritz, but this was completely different - light, refreshing, and really enjoyable. Honestly, it felt like such a hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn't more crowded - maybe because it was a Thursday - but it definitely deserves more attention. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

My hubby and I really enjoyed it! We arrived 20 mins early and the guy checking us in said that the tour may start early, but looking at his check in list, it seemed like it was bc almost everyone had arrived. There were 2 separate grps & only 20 ppl in ea grp. At 1st I was bummed that the 6 stops weren't places that were only choc, but it ended up being a great experience, getting a taste of other things with chocolate in it, like bread, cupcakes, caramels, and fudge, as well as chocolate bars and bon bons. We also enjoyed our guide, Linda. She was bubbly (but not sickingly), knowledgeable about the area and our stops, careful about getting us to our destination safely, and good about moving us along but not rushing us. Only complaint....1 of our stops was closed for the thanksgiving weekend. Great Food Tour should've either checked with each stop bc if the holiday, and the closed stop should've notified the tour company. We weren't made aware of the closure until near the end.
