    We were celebrating the engagement of our son to a wonderful woman. I had told the restaurant why we were there and they were especially accommodating. Our server did not rush us through ordering and the food arrived in a well timed manner. The food was excellent- hot and fresh. We ordered dessert and it arrived with the word Congratulations written in chocolate sauce around the plate. It was an all around great time.

    The 3 Arancini appetizer was moist, delicious and full of meat. Lasagna was a huge portion and also very meat intense!!! It was my birthday, and since I don't drink, the server made me a delicious cocktail. A complimentary birthday dessert was well appreciated. Server was very attentive and friendly. Prices were moderate. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal with a beautiful over the water view and 5:30 fireworks. I'm coming back!!!

    We went for the happy hour, but stayed for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised at the nice ambiance, really good food, and reasonable prices. Great location one block off Dupont Circle (in the Marriott Bonvoy). We'll definiately go again.
