This restaurant was recommended by a friend. The ambiance wasn't too bad. Reviews are overrated. I had linguini with clams (very few,bland,dry and microscopic) mom lobster ravioli (lobster nonexistent). I was not given a menu and had to try to read the chalkboard in the distance-and was never given a wine list. The waiter recommended a very nice chianti which he said three times was 19.95. When the bill came the bill included water (we didnt get) and a $5 corkage fee - which no one told us about. Tell me price up front-dont tack on $5 on the price quoted. Its a pet peeve and makes the place seem sneaky. If its 19.95 - that should be on the bill - if the corkage is there - tell me its $24.95 including corkage and charge me that. Servers are good. Owner is arrogant. Definitely better Italian out there-this aint it.
This is a very low key place that is not done up all fancy but always has good food. The menu has not changed in over a year but there are many options that have all been great! It is a sure thing! Very good price and a great wine list. It has a wine room attached with wine "on tap". The best time to eat is in the summer. It has a great patio overlooking all the fun in Adams Morgan! Great for people watching. The service is great and you will get to know the people who work there.
