    First time diners. The restaurant is lovely and we had a nice seat in the window. The menus has some wonderful selections along with a list of specials and our server was very good and helped us make choices. Had a great meal with nice cocktails/wine. Will definitely return.

    Great evening. Asked for a quiet table for four, and got the quietest one in the place. Despite a bit off the beaten path, the service there was perfect. I had the Al Nero squid ink linguini and shrimp. Delicious.

    I was so pleasantly surprised eating at La Tomate. The staff were super friendly and the food was so delicious. I can't stop thinking about the spaghetti with lobster, and the caesar salad was so good. A new fav dinner spot!

    A must stop whenever we’re in DC. Meal tonight was exquisite (Pollo Alla Caccatorie). The service was great, the food awesome, and the ambiance was terrific. If you’re up near DuPont Circle do not miss this place. La Tomate Bistro (19 stars)
