Best Italian Restaurants in Friendship Heights

the food here is great. large portions and pleasant staff

We have gone to RPM Italian in DC several times over the past few years and every time the food and service are amazing. Tonight, our server was Paula and she was exceptional. Thanks for another great evening!

Griffin was so helpful and recommended wine pairings and courses for us to try. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and answered all our questions. He wrote us a personal note congratulating us on our anniversary and engagement and really made the whole night very special. The food was very tasty and well worth the price. We both left stuffed and happy! Thanks for ringing in this new chapter with us.

The management of Olio e Piu gave us a complementary meal after a good but less than stellar review for a dinner we had there during Restaurant Week. We took them up on the offer and had lunch there on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was busy (a surprise to us for a downtown DC location) and the vibe was happy. We both had the delicious Farfalla Rossa cocktail. We had the Burrata Mediterraneo and Vitello Tonnato appetizers, Fusilli Cinghiale e Funghi pasta and Bronzino del Marinaio for entrees, and Tiramisu and pear and chocolate desserts. The food was excellent! Our server, Ximena, was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, as was the rest of the staff. Thank you, Hospitality Team of Olio e Piu, for offering us this second chance at your restaurant. It tells us that you care about your patrons and the food and hospitality you provide. That's much appreciated these days.

The food and service is excellent including the front desk. The "tables for two" are nicely arranged, but larger groups are accomodated as well. The food was still hot when we received it which is great especially for fish dishes. Our server was very attentive and helpful with our requests. Try the Sea Bass!!
