Amazing happy hour drinks! We had an excellent time and our server was incredibly accomplished and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and loved the waterfront views. Would definitely recommend and return.
We had a fantastic time, we sat at the bar, service was fantastic and the food was delicious! ...
Great food and atmosphere in Anacostia with nice water view. Pasta dishes were delicious as were the bomboloni like sweet donut holes though they did not have traditional cream filling. Service was a bit slow, and conversations echoed in the space.
Amazing restaurant. Polite staff and delicious food. This is a favorite of mine and my husbands. From the coffee and gelato to the homemade pasta and freshest salads. A lovely ambiance, and all around great eatery.
