Casamara

I had a great time at Casamara! Amazing space, great service and good food that you have to try. Casamara is a beautiful restaurant that's perfect for dinner with friends, a date night or a late night happy hour. It has a upscale modern vibe but is also cozy, warm and welcoming. There is plenty of space for dining whether you want to make reservations or have dinner at the bar. We went during the week around 6pm and it wasn't a lot of people there at first but it filled up quickly as the evening moved on. Our server was very warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave us great suggestions from the menu that were very helpful. The food was really good! The truffle bucatini cacio e pepe was delicious with plenty of flavor and the harissa roasted chicken had sooooooo much flavor and was cooked to perfection. I also really enjoyed the potato and mozzarella dumpling. It was great way to kick off the meal and you really can't go wrong with potatoes and cheese. We also had the confit lamb shoulder and the fennel and heirloom beans. The lamb shoulder was pretty good but the beans weren't for me. The service, the food and the ambiance at Casamara were great. I will definitely return to try more items on the menu and would highly recommend to others.

Loved this place! Food was very flavored and well balanced. We had the tomato dumplings, harissa chicken, boar pasta and cabbage salad. The latter being the best dish. Very sexy atmosphere. But this review is mostly for our server Louie. One of the best service I’ve had in recent years. He was so knowledgeable, thoughtful and entertaining. Very rarely do you feel this taken care of at restaurants. We will be back just for him!

Casamara was such a highlight of my stay at SIXTY DC! The entire dining experience felt thoughtful and elevated — from the warm hospitality to the beautifully curated menu. The main dining room had such a welcoming atmosphere. the decor inside is so luxe I gasped walking in! To the decor down the menus. I am a sucker for nice dinner settings. As for the food - delicious!! We had the Grilled Oysters (10/10), Otoro & Melon (10/10), Truffle Bucatini Cacio e Pepe (9/10), 16oz Aged Bone In Ribeye (10/10 - OMG), and the Summer Squash & Zucchini (8/10). My favorite cocktail on the menu was the Cote d Amour! Every detail made the experience memorable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything felt seamless. I would absolutely recommend Casamara to anyone visiting DC — it’s the perfect mix of great food, a luxe ambiance, and great service. I can’t wait to return and try more on the menu!

My sister and I made a reservation to Casamara because of the buzz about how great the place is. I took a peak at the menu and got really excited. Well, I cannot say enough about this place!! Top Tier!!! The venue, the layout, the decor and the ambiance for the spectacular dinner that we had as we settled into our table was extraordinary. Let's give our server all her flowers because she is one of a kind! Whether it is was drink recommendation or meal options described in full flavor, Olivia was the best! She is engaging, smart, beautiful and knows this restaurant! We love her. I hope to be back in the area by year end. All things menu related like the sardine toast, grilled fish, pasta, roasted potatoes and the divine cocktails were incredible!! For two frequent diner in the DC/Md area, this is by far one of the best experiences we've had.

Stumbled upon this place with my girlfriends, and we were so happy we did! We sat at the bar and were truly wined and dined from start to finish. The interior décor is beautiful, and the food was very yummy. The service deserves a special mention—everyone was so friendly and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. And the cabbage salad? Soooo good—still thinking about it! After dinner, make sure to visit Reynolds, the classy cocktail bar, for the perfect nightcap. Such a lovely experience all around—we’ll definitely be back!

The atmosphere is lovely, with a decent view of the city, very nice decor, and low music. I was there during the day but the night lighting would probably be pretty great. Reminded me of a beach restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic, I had chicken skewers that were excellently seasoned with cumin and mint, and the presentation was top notch. The menus also looked really nice!! Will definitely be making return trips in the future!!!

Opted to reserve their private dining space for my birthday celebration and the experience didn’t disappoint! We were a party of 10 but the space can easily fit 12 so we had plenty of room to mingle. The service was amazing. The staff took care of us and made us feel welcomed! The food was fresh and had unique flavors. The portions were surprisingly more than I was expecting and the semi curated, pre fixed menu had a good balance of dishes. I definitely recommend the place if you’re looking to host an event. They also have a rooftop bar with great views (opening soon) and a “hidden” bar that has a classic and tasteful setup. Casamara definitely checks all the boxes!

Nice restaurant with great food and great service! We’re not typically fans of ordering everything all at once because almost always, the restaurant will say they will course the meals but then they don’t. On a busy night at Casamara, they managed to pace our courses properly — and we ordered a lot of different food items! Hats off to the staff who made that happen. On another night, it was much more relaxed and it was nice to not have to know everything you want to eat for the evening and place the order all at once. Cocktails at the restaurant were on point and the staff seem to be quite knowledgeable with wines. We would go back!

What I ordered: The potato & mozzarella dumplings - skip Cod croquettes from the seven fishes menu- consider Branzino - consider Potatoes - skip The best thing I had was the croquette. Generally the food is salty and the potatoes were very salty. The service was great. A great place for a nice date. It doesn't really pull me to want to come back here though

The good-The Harissa Chicken was outstanding. Fennel and white beans were also good. Service was adequate, but I did not love our table. We are most comfortable at the bar. Unfortunately, they were out of feta, and I was disappointed by the Grilled Cabbage Salad. It had too much acid and was not well balanced. However, we really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to coming back time try more dishes. It's a lovely restaurant.

Went to Casamara on NYE and experienced their fixed price tasting menu. It was amazing! The service was great (despite some issues due to the crowd), the ambience was very classy and the food was phenomenal. I'd love to go back and try their regular menu.

Casamara is a see and be seen spot, and I'm here for it. It's in a hotel but honestly you can't really tell, the restaurant is such a vibe. I love the bar concepts on the property too. Reynolds is swanky, sleek and serves great cocktails. I'll have to check out Casamara's rooftop, which is open on weekends. Dinner service was a bit slow and our waiter was hard to find at times. The food came pretty quickly though and everything was delicious. The bacon wrapped dates and focaccia are must haves for the table. The potato dumplings were a super unique dish that we enjoyed but had room for improvement. The apple tart was a satisfying way to end the meal & I'll be back to try more sweets and savory dishes. Great spot for a nice date night!

After having a fantastic dinner experience, I was more than happy to return for their rooftop Sunday brunch. This was a completely different experience and the dichotomy is shocking. I was seated a bit a before our reservation and waiting on my friend, who was running a bit late. I perused the menu and wanted to order an appetizer and a drink. However, a server never came to check on me. Instead, three or four servers walked by, looked in my direction, and kept walking. It wasn't until my 15 minutes after my friend had joined when we asked for service. We were waiting, hoping our server would stop by, but it was not until we asked. We should've left then. Our server was incredibly rude and dismissive. The look on their face was priceless when asked about N/A drinks. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. My friend's mocktail arrived 20 minutes later, my pan con tomate arrived 25 minutes later, and her patatas bravas arrived 30 minutes later. Our server stopped by once to check on us and then we flagged them to get the check. However, the server promptly served their other tables, with one table being seated quite a bit after us, and receiving food and drinks before us. This was an extremely upsetting experience. Our food was good and I wanted to order more, but could not fathom supporting Casamara further. I'm not sure why our server did not ask someone else to serve us, if they had some sort of issue. An email to the restaurant went unanswered.

Casamara absolutely deserves 5 stars. The service is warm and genuine -- true hospitality. The space is beautiful, and the food and drinks are just as good. I'm a simple girl: if I see branzino, I order it. This one is excellent, and the potatoes with it are divine. The crab dish is a must. The otoro & melon was another standout. Great cocktails (I'm partial to Donatello's Kiss) and a solid wine list. I'll have to try dessert next time...and don't miss the rooftop!

Casamara was a 10/10. From the warm greeting to the attentive service and amazing food. The restaurant is beautifully designed. It feels warm, cozy, and chic all at the same time. I'll definitely be back! Côte d'Amour $16 - 5/5 if you love gin and elderflower, this light refreshing yet strong drink is for you! I'd go by the bar for one of these just because! Crab $24 - 5/5 very light and flavorful dish! It was recommended that we stuff the crab in the bread like a sandwich. Yummy! Potato & Mozzarella Dumpling $16 - 4/5 this was a nice well rounded dish. The mozzarella and potato melt in your mouth. Truffle Bucatini Cacio e Pepe $24 - 5/6 some of the best e Pepe I've ever had. Get this dish! Confit Lamb Shoulder $42 - 5/5 so yummy. The combo of flavors work well with the lamb. Harissa Roast Chicken $38 - 5/5 the chicken was the star of the show. You would literally cut it with a fork. Very juicy and moist! Fennel & Heirloom Beans $15 -3/5 nice flavor but the beans were undercooked. This side dish was not a recommendation by our server. Go with the potatoes!

Friday night @casamaradc feat. their Pepperoncini-tini, Crispy Artichoke, Fritto Misto, Grilled Cabbage Salad (a fan favorite), and three pastas to share: the Octopus Casarecce (a group favorite), Wild Boar Gemelli, and Truffle Bucatini Cacio e Pepe

Arrived on a Sunday evening for a dinner with friends. Ambiance was a 10/10, was promptly seated and spent a moment taking in the decor/feel of the restaurant. Our server provided the specials and made some great recommendations. Started with a bottle of wine and cocktails and ordered 3 pasta dishes and a steak to share. Food was delicious, service was spectacular, would definitely return!

I had a lovely dinner experience here. The decor is so unique and the service was great. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the sardine toast, otoro and melon, ricotta gnocchi, and octopus (fish of the day).

I went for a birthday celebration with a friend and Casamara did not disappoint...from the ambience, to the impeccable service, beautiful decor and delicious food. We started with a bottle of Billecart-Salmon, which already impressed me as most restaurants do not carry. It's one of my favs. Appetizers: homemade focaccia, Grilled cabbage salad and crispy artichokes. Highly recommend all. I do have a yogurt intolerance so they accommodated us by putting the dressing in the side. Wish they had just tahini as an option but was fine with just lemon juice. Other reviewers raved about the octopus pasta but both the pasta and entree were sold out so couldn't try it. Main: lamb rotolo - think of a pinwheel. Delicious - just wish it had a dollop of ricotta in the side in addition to what they put on top. The one piece on the bottom didn't have any ricotta. Dessert: the lemon tart & strawberry rhubarb sorbet were the perfect, refreshing combo! Service: luxury service - would give 5-stars. Glasses were never empty, finished plates cleared quickly - couldn't have asked for a better experience! Afterwards we went to Reynold's for a few more cocktails - it's located in the back of the hotel. Great place for a drink before or after.

We tried this new spot on an early Tuesday evening. It was very easy to get reservations, but we probably could have walked in. The space is gorgeous. You cannot recognize it from the previous tenant. The food was delicious. We got the gnocchi with morel mushrooms and the lamb rotolo pasta. Both were really good. We split the Basque cheesecake which was very large and delicious. The cocktails are super creative. They also have mocktails. My friend wanted one of the mocktails which they were out of, but the bartender made something off menu for her and she was very happy. I will definitely be back. I'm excited for brunch and when the rooftop space in the hotel opens.

Casamara has only been open two weeks and it's crushing the game--I would come back soon. The only thing that could make it better is if they had a happy hour menu (even bar only) for the after work crowd in the area. The appetizer menu is stacked, and I basically wanted to try them all. Our server recommended several, and we went with the stuffed dates, which were delicious. I mean, how can you go wrong with dates, cheese, bacon, and maple? With a six-piece portion size, it was perfect for splitting. But the star of the show, and what I will 100% come back for, is the Octopus Casarecce pasta. On first bite, I knew it was a winner, and immediately inhaled my dish. It was so, so good and I know I will order it again. A bit spicy in a good way! And a fair (neither overly small or large) portion. This dish alone merits a 5 star review in my book. I was the least impressed by dessert. I ordered the chocolate mousse and it was fine, even good, but not something I feel the need to order again, especially with how full I was after the pasta. I would also say I didn't love the their spin on espresso martini (from the dessert menu) as it tasted like straight espresso without any balance or nuance to the flavor. It was so coffee-forward, I didn't finish mine--and I never leave food or drink behind! However, my other drink, the Côte d'Amour, and my friend's drink, the Acqua Verde, were both delicious and I would order them again. The service was great, with two servers tag teaming to provide clean silverware, napkin folds, water refills, and food recommendations at the caliber of a luxury restaurant. I hope the service stays top tier when they get busier and have been open longer. My only complaint on the service would be that the server recommended we get three appetizers for two people which just seemed absurd and possibly like an upsell. We were only two people--how could we possibly eat 1.5 appetizers and an entree each? This isn't tapas... made for an awkward start when we only ordered one, and I genuinely could not have consumed more. The small room is also beautiful, with a gorgeous bar as the centerpiece. Shortly into dining (on a Wednesday) the lights were turned down and the bass turned up, which was an interesting choice that may have been more appropriate for a weekend. But the vibes were good and it would make a good date or girls night spot.

We were able to get a dinner reservation at Casamara over the weekend and we were incredibly impressed. First of all, the customer service from the moment you walk in, is phenomenal! The hostesses were so friendly and welcoming, helped us check in our umbrellas and basically just started the experience off on a great foot! The drinks were delicious! I had the Acqua Verde which was a cucumber/kiwi drink. Not too sweet and very refreshing. My friend tried the Pepperoncini-Tini but she wasn't a fan and that ok! Between the two of us we had the fritto misto, octopus casarecce and the lamb! All were outstanding!!!! The restaurant itself has great ambiance and is very chic whether it be for a date night or a girls night out! 10/10 would recommend!

Tasty little egg croissant sandwich with the perfect touch of chili oil. They serve Illy coffee & Espresso drinks. Convenient place for breakfast if staying at the Sixty. We came back for dessert at the end of the night and that did not disappoint. My favorite was the panna cotta, my husband had the cheesecake, we also tried the olive oil cake, all of them were delicious.

The name caught my eye *wink*. I love the decor and vibe of the rooftop. Staff were super friendly and helpful with questions regarding the menu. I enjoyed my drink and LOVED the fried olives!!! The bar bites are a bit pricey....just an FYI. It's best to reserve a table or bar seat when going. I will def go back for those olives!!!

I have visited three times within 30 days and the food is exquisite. The flavors are unmatched and I can not wait to visit again. I have tried the grilled oysters, cabbage salad, scallops, pasta, branzino and shrimp. The decor is luxurious and the service is definitely reflective of the atmosphere.

Casamara has it all - amazing food, great staff, and an upscale but fun vibe. Our server was incredibly friendly and made great recommendations. While all the food was delicious, the dumplings were the dish of the night. The cauliflower was also the perfect side to accompany the branzino. If you're looking for a new spot to add to your DC rotation, definitely give Casamara a try!

breakfast , lunch or dinner - Casamara is the spot From the decor to the taste it's amazing Customer service incredible My server Daniela was amazing and attentive. She gave me great recommendations

beautiful ambiance on the rooftop -- they've leaned into the "apres ski" theme with a DJ, themed outfits, etc. service was very fast and the drinks were incredible. despite not having a reservation we were also able to get seated at 9pm on a Friday

We stayed at Sixty DC and the hotel's restaurant, Casamara, was excellent. On our first night, we had a pasta dish that was out of this world -- it was so good we went back the next night to have it again, along with the branzino, which was absolutely amazing. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Adrian, was wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. His recommendation of the branzino made our night.

Casamara is lovely. Intimate space, gold accents, comfy chairs, a bar in the center of the room that keeps it festive. A server came right up to us to order "first sips" which I always appreciate - I'm ready to get my drink on the moment I sit down. Enjoyed the Cote d'Amour cocktail in a generous-sized glass, and later a cab sauv with my ribeye steak - a little thinner than I like but perfectly cooked with a great crust and roasted garlic on the side). Had to try the highly recommended sardine toast and it is definitely a winner. My spouse loved his octopus pasta and the melt-in-your-mouth potato and truffle dumplings. The surprising finish was a seasonal sourdough gelato, the concept of which sounded odd at first but then, damn! So delicious and I hope they keep it on the menu forever. They had a catch-of-the-day menu that included branzino, halibut, and others - I'll try next time because there will definitely be a next time. Excellent service overall (shout out to Missy), a perfect place for date night or a place to impress your family and friends.

Casamara, a new Mediterranean spot, is now accepting reservations! We made a birthday dinner reservation for our group, which was pretty seamless; we made sure to confirm with the Casamara staff and team, who were all super helpful in assisting and confirming! They were able to jot down any allergies and food restrictions, which is great that they could accommodate some of our group members' dietary needs! +easy to make reservations +friendly staff & service

Food is fine but overpriced, and the vibe seems to be trying to replicate the infamous Rocco in Lisbon. Service was good, they checked in on us a lot. Ambiance isn't too bad though, so coming here to grab a drink is not a bad idea.

Had a delicious dinner with a gf here. Great vibe and the food was very good. The cabbage salad was quite amazing, bread service was good, artichokes was tasty and the pasta was a good size. We would return to try the speakeasy upstairs. Great date spot.

Fantastic. Would reorder everything we ate next time we go. The lamb confit doesn't look super appetizing in my picture but was the best dish we had. Please order it and enjoy. Shout out to the bartenders --Dimitri and Dimitri -- for taking care of us.

Wow - we just had a great dinner at Casamara and will definitely be going back! This restaurant is a Dupont gem that, I hope, stays open for a long time. Our dinner at Casamara was a business dinner with 6 people. The staff was very accommodating. The dining room was beautiful, seriously beautiful! It is the sort of decor that I have not come to expect in Washington DC. But, whoever designed this interior, was a master. All 6 of us commented on how gorgeous the dining room was. Likewise, the food was outstanding and - at least some of it - surprising and inventive! The stuffed date appetizer was 5 stars all by itself! But all 6 of us cleaned our plates and talked about how very good the food was! My spouse had the chicken and it was so moist that you could see the juices running each time he cut it. My lamb was tangy and tender and perfectly cooked; it came with some peas that freshened up the lamb flavor beautifully. My one caution for Casamara is with the service - not that it was bad because it was not. But, the server spoke too fast for any of us to understand him or - even worse - remember what he had said. To be honest, his entire introduction was just recommending everything on the menu. To be a restaurant that lasts for a long time, the server will have to do better than that. Do I recommend Casamara? Oh yes! I will be back for sure!

Trying out new restaurants can be a roll of the dice, in this case it paid off! From the moment we stepped into the establishment, we were greeted with excellent hospitality and a tasteful, contemporary midtown ambiance. For an appetizer we tried the Mussels On Toast, which was a simple and elegant blend of traditional and new. The briny, delicate taste of the mussels is complemented by the sweet and acidic notes of paprika, red pepper, butter, sherry, garlic aioli and French parsley soaked into the fresh deep-dish bread that it rests atop. For our main course we enjoyed the panini pressed Bronzino and Ricotta Gnocchi which were both proportionately plated and properly prepared. The combination of the gnocchi's pillowy texture and the acidic sorrel pesto, purple broccoli, hazelnuts, and pangrattato was savory. Add this restaurant to your evening out list! Cheers

The food and cocktails are amazing! Definitely one of the best restaurants in DC! The decor is also top tier. The service is ok.

Amazing! Can't wait to visit again. Everything was exceptional!! Beautiful restaurant, fabulous food and wonderful service. Go!

Casamara was AMAZING! The service was wonderful, our waitress was so kind and helpful, and the ambiance was perfect for a special celebratory meal. For apps, we had the branzino crudo, the crispy artichoke, the bacon wrapped stuffed dates, the mozzarella potato dumplings, the mouthwatering house made focaccia (which came with a delicious sun dried tomato butter), and the cabbage salad. All were truly amazing -- I would order everything again. The cabbage salad is a must get - it was so unique, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing! For the main course, the cacio e pepe was delicious, and the branzino was the best we had ever had. Definitely check out Casamara for an all-around amazing Mediterranean meal!

Pretentious, overpriced, limited menu, deafening music. Staff wander around as if clueless. And what kind of restaurant doesn't have some form of simple green salad?!

Absolutely loved our dining and drinks experience here! Our server, Olivia, was an absolute doll. She was friendly, detailed and super helpful. She sent the sommelier, Juan, over to recommend a wonderful bottle of Sicilian wine and it was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the cabbage salad (a must!), oysters, two pastas and the branzino. It was a lot for two, but we loved trying it all. Olivia and Juan were also able to secure us a table at the speakeasy upstairs which was super sweet of them and we were able to continue our night there. It's rare to find a spot in DC that nails the aesthetic, food, service AND entertainment - I'll def be back!

If only we didn't have to pay the bill... Everything was amazing from the martini with the feta stuffed pepperocini to the grilled oysters, harissa chicken and the cauliflower. The iberico was absolutely incredible- almost tasted like a super flavorful steak, and the chocolate mousse was not necessary after I was too full, but absolutely amazing as well. Must try.

Such a cute spot in Dupont. Great vibes, the service was amazing (shoutout to Brayan for great recommendations). We loved the grilled cabbage salad and spaghetti pomodoro.

Casamara is a fantastic spot! The cabbage salad was super fresh and flavorful, but you have to try the potato dumplings, our server Brayan recommended them. They're absolutely amazing. Intimate atmosphere and great food all around!
