I…read moreused to have issues with it because I felt the portions were not big enough for the price, but it seems that they have evened out a bit and this last visit, the portions seemed pretty hearty. The great thing about this location is that you can pick any pasta type you want and any sauce, then they have other add on toppings as well! It's quality pasta and made to order and usually takes just a few minutes!! For the Market, it's a nice eat in or takeout option!

The portion size was large and I was able to save half of it for breakfast the next day. The staff is a small but mighty team but they move fast and efficiently. Union Market is always crowded, but the two kiosks that they use for ordering makes everything move faster. The food is flavorful and I look forward to returning soon!

Firstly, I really have to commend the staff.  They were so attentive and thoughtful.  Our server, for example, brought an extra little light to our table when she saw we were struggling to read the menu in the low light. They were great about checking with us, keeping the water glasses filled and anticipating other needs such as a bag when we wanted to take some of our meal home.  Everyone was very kind and this added so much to our meal.  We enjoyed our progressive meal which reflecting the chef's heritage from both Italy and Brazil.  Our starting mocktails of the ploughman's surprise and the fermented peach soda were good.  The peach soda had a great amount of fizz but could have used a little more peach.  Maybe the nectar just sunk to the bottom and by the time we drank that far, the ice had diluted it.  We preferred the ploughman's surprise, which, coming with no ice (yah!) stayed flavorful to the very end.  Our app of grilled peaches and burrata was tasty but we actually preferred it eaten as its separate components rather than together where the burrata seemed to overpower the other flavors.  Special shout out to the sourdough crisp on top.  Super crunchy and delicious!  The bread was also a stand out in the panzanella.  This dish had a great kick from the jalapeno and was fresh and refreshing.  For our third dish - the bread also was really good.  This time it was garlic knots which everyone looked forward to the moment that garlic aroma arrived at our table.  The summer lasagna came with a very light and slightly sweet tomato sauce which only made us wish we had even more bread!  The main entrée was the picanha steak.  It was very well cooked and though not as hot temperature wise as we would have liked, it was really good even just warmed.  The oven roasted potatoes were just right and the chimichurri sauce was very good (anther longing for more bread - can you see a theme?...)  Dessert was a soft and custardy on the inside corn cake with  mascarpone and espresso dulce de leche.  Although I couldn't taste much of the coffee flavor, the dish was another example of Reveler's Hour comfort food wheelhouse.  The food and the service at Reveler's Hour are definitely worth coming back for.  Next time, we might try to sit towards the front where there is more light from the windows.  There is a small outdoor public lot a block away.

The front bar has a nice mix of high tops and booths if you're stopping in for drinks, while the dining room in the back is filled with smaller tables. The food absolutely lives up to the atmosphere. Absolutely start with the garlic knot. You can tell the pasta is homemade. The pappardelle is my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes! Between the warm ambiance, thoughtful service, and incredible food, Reveler's Hour is a great spot in Adams Morgan.

Absolutely incredible! I ordered ahead for pickup. Although I received confirmation that the order…read morewas ready for pickup, it wasn't. They were super busy at lunch today.

Glad that I had a craving for it and decided to order out. Delivery order packaged in the cutest thermal bag which kept the food nice and hot. I ordered the Pastor Al Limone and added chicken Parmesan to it. OMG can I start by saying that I made this into 3 small meals because it was packed with pasta, meat, and flavor so there was no way that I was going to finish that lol it was heavy but soooooooo good. To conclude the meal, I tried one of their cannolis and it was amazing! Looks like they just became my must try spot whenever the lines aren't long but definitely via delivery.

Al Tiramisu in Washington DC is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. While we were…read morevisiting family in DC, while cocktailing, our cousin mentioned a fantastic Italian restaurant where the owner and head chef makes his own sweet vermouth. They said we had to go to have a Manhattan so who am I to turn down great Italian fare and house made liqueurs?? This DuPont Circle staple has been around for 30 years because owner and head chef Luigi Diotaiuti wanted to recreate his favorite dishes from his homeland in Southern Italy. I'll say I am not one for fancy Italian because I love all things casual Italian (red sauce, meatballs and sausage ), but Chef Luigi knows how to make delicious food and even better cocktails. Something I've never seen before is a restaurant that makes their own homemade sweet vermouth, limoncello (pic 4), orangecello, and Amaro. We tried them all and they were delicious including a Manhattan. The sweet vermouth provided a lovely spiced tone to my Manhattan (pic 2). I'd go back just for that and the Ragu (fettuccine). If you're in DC, you should go out of your way to visit Chef Luigi and his staff because they offer a memorable experience in every way. You won't be disappointed. Salute @thejohnnycocktail

The waiters were very attentive with waters, clean up, and following up with our dishes. Although, I could tell they were trying to upsell me every time I tried to order something, which I rather not deal with for most dining occasions. Place is cozy with some Italian decor and Italian music playing. Everything was pretty good in my opinion; can't say that I can choose which course was my favourite! We had the duck prosciutto as an appetizer, which was a special. It was delicious with the cooked duck taste, alongside the toast with very vibrant jam. My vongole pasta was good too; I do like pasta more on the firmer side, which it was. It tasted great with the calm, garlic, and olive oil - simple, yet tasty. The tiramisu itself was fine, but I believe it was enhanced even more with the sauces and cookie bit on the top; the cookie bit was too good. I definitely would like to come back to try some of their other things!

We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.
