I enjoyed my time at Tony and Joes on Thanksgiving Day 2024. The host, staff and manager were very pleasant and eager to see that my family and myself had enjoyed our visit. The food was well prepared and I enjoyed the view of the Potomac river. I will come back again.

Food was excellent. I had the pork chop and it was amongst the best I’ve tasted. We had a party of 7 and they all had a variety of things and they were all happy. Bread basket is not to be missed.

I’ve eaten here in the past for lunch and it was fantastic. Ate dinner last night and it was again wonderful. Management on site to make sure everything goes perfectly. The service and wait staff are impeccable. The food is delicious and well prepared with a wide range of options. Very convenient in the Georgetown area and great for people watching with the tables upfront.

We ate at Flavio twice while in Georgetown last week, and both times were so happy it was a wonderful as always. Staff is welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing. The pizza is to die for and we also love the wine. Highly recommend - and we love the child size stuffed bears (pink and blue) who are part of the welcome in.

Delicious food and friendly service. My grandchildren ages 10 and 12 ask to go to Das whenever they visit. Their parents like it too. Whenever I have guests from out of town I take them to Das for a delightful dinner.
