I've been coming here for a few years and this was one of the best (all visits have been wonderful) experience I've had. Nicholas was such a delight, tentative and helpful during our dine in. We were celebrating a birthday and he made sure she felt special! Food was wonderful, as always!!
Great service, relaxed atmosphere, and quality food. Wine selection is mostly from Italy but there are a few Washington choices. Delicious herbed salty focaccia as soon as I was seated, and the accompanying oil had a tantalizing flavor profile. Rigatoni bologanise had just the right amount of meat and cheese, noodles were perfectly al dente, and it was served piping hot. Mango sorbet wasn't an overpowering flavor, which is probably a good thing but it could have just been me after several glasses of wine by that point. Overall a nice meal, albeit somewhat noisy inside.
Stumbled upon Barolo since it was near our hotel and was pleasantly surprised! They have an amazing late night happy hour after 9:00pm, where all their bar food is 50% off! We got some complimentary bread to start off and it came with an amazing olive dip. We ordered some happy hour white wine, which was a Pinot Grigio that day. Tasted great and was $7.50. We ordered a few items to share - the beef carpaccio, calamari, and the rigatoni pasta . Beef carpaccio tasted great and had lots of arugula and shaved cheese on top. We were pleasantly surprised by the calamari since it wasn’t fried, and the tomato sauce was so good we asked for extra bread. The pasta was also hearty and delicious. Overall lovely night, though it’s quite dark in the restaurant and service was slower in the end.
