The Cacio e Pepe was a bit too salty (too much Parmesan and not enough pecorino Romano). The scallop dish was okay, and not really worth $42 for four small pieces of scallops and just buttered pasta. The spaghetti was fairly good and the focaccia with ricotta and burrata were delicious. The special pizza blank was also delicious with generous black truffle. The mushroom risotto was also delicious as well. The carrot cake was okay but a generous serving. The service was great with them bringing out a candle and a mini gelato for our birthday. The drinks were good with the Sauvignon and the bullet drink being delicious.

Had my best experience at a restaurant to date. Jennifer was our server and gave top notch service. I made no special requests, but when I handed my wife a card for our anniversary, she immediately brought us champagne to toast the occasion! Not sure what kind, but it was the best we’ve had. Paid the bill via QR code on the table before this sadly or I would have tipped her even more. Unforgettable way to spend our anniversary, couldn’t possibly be more happy.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday and the food and service was excellent. A bit noisy and the DoorDash drivers were rather rude and inconsiderate of the waiting guests in the lobby (took up the chairs and smelled horrid). Excellent food and service at a good price, especially for DC.
