The 15 Best Italian Restaurants In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation
"Filomena Ristorante has been serving DC pasta for 40 years, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a spot that does a better job. Which is probably why the Georgetown basement eatery is packed day and night, as folks turn everything from a simple weeknight dinner to a milestone birthday into an experience as big as Filomena’s chicken parmesan. The waiters are fresh to death in their tuxedos, while you try—and fail—to avoid dripping red sauce onto the white knit placemat under your ravioli. That mix of fancy and homey is what continues to make Filomena a spot where everyone comes to celebrate big moments, share fun nights with friends, or test their new elastic waist pants trying to down an entire plate of Pasta Mamma-made ravioli in one sitting." - omnia saed, allison robicelli, mekita rivas
