Etto

Enjoyed the Italian appetizer/small bites and pizza at Etto’s. A really nice selection of appys - we got a bunch. Anchovy with parsley and egg was really good. Also eggplant bruschetta and burrata. Ricotta was very fresh. Loved the pizza from the wood burning oven. It was a small space and a little on the loud side, but no big deal. Very friendly hostess and wait staff. Service was surprisingly fast for a crowded Friday night. Did not have a long wait for a table.

I wanted to like this place so badly. The food is really good, nice thin crispy pizza from a wood fired oven. Thoughtful Italian style appetizers and salads made with seasonal ingredients. The staff is very bad. They are not interested at all in providing hospitality to the guests and were chatting, drinking, and on their phones the entire time of my visit severely detracting from my experience. Coupled with the fact there was no music whatsoever I couldn’t help but hear their gossip and drama my whole meal which was annoying to say the least. Again, excellent food. Maybe takeout would be a better choice here

Fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza served in a cozy, vibey space with great service! I visited Etto for a casual Friday dinner with a friend, and we had a delightful time. They don't take reservations and are quite popular, so I was a bit worried that we'd be able to snag a table on a Friday; however, we, thankfully, managed to snag their last available table on their patio. The entire restaurant -- inside and out -- is super cozy and has a lovely, welcoming ambiance. The tables are positioned quite close together, so it can feel a little bit tight and loud, but it creates a really fun environment. My friend and I split a Sicilian eggplant pizza and the tuna belly, both of which were phenomenal. The tuna belly was super flavorful and went wonderfully with the hearty starter bread; the celery leaves were a great final touch and pop of freshness to cut through the otherwise fatty, heavy dish. It was also the perfect way to whet our appetite for the pizza. The pizza was fantastic, with a great savory, slightly tart tomato sauce and a generous helping of smoky roasted eggplant. The crust has a great char and is quite thin and almost floppy, but it's to be expected for Neapolitan-style pizza; it just means you have to dig in pretty quickly or it'll start to get a bit soggy. The pizza is finally finished with a sprinkling of fresh basil and diced kalamata olives, which give the dish a good extra hit of freshness and brininess, respectively. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Etto. It's the perfect spot for a casual dinner or happy hour, and I can't wait to visit again!

Great pizzas and appetizers! Patio seating is perfect on a nice spring/summer evening.

Cool Italian Restaurant I discovered on a walk up 14th street. I had the mixed salad and the Sicilian Pizza. The salad was okay tastewise, but was a generous portion. The Sicilian Pizza was very tasty! The crust was great too. It was more than I could finish, but I almost ate the whole things. I now have breakfast tomorrow! The service was also good. The included service charge made this a bit expensive for a meal for one. I get though why they need to do this. Still, its worth visiting here.

Cute place, great atmosphere. The brick oven pizza is AMAZING! Great find, highly recommend.

Cute spot and nice ambiance! We were a party of 5 and were seated right away once our whole group arrived. We shared 3 seasonal pizzas; the morels, puntarelle, and vongole. Nothing stood out as amazing, but the morels pizza was my favorite. We asked that our pizzas be cooked a little more crispy which helped. I also ordered the goodbye earl cocktail which was strong but balanced well with the lemon and grapefruit. For dessert we shared the affogato and chocolate custard. Chocolate custard was really good and I loved the whipped cream on top!

A Taste of Rome on 14th Street – Etto Delivers Authentic Excellence We had a truly delightful dinner at Etto on 14th Street NW, DC. The Americano and Margherita pizzas were both outstanding—expertly prepared with a thin, crispy, oven-baked dough that had just the right amount of char, adding that unmistakable Italian character you’d expect from a Roman pizzeria. Each bite was flavorful and balanced, a testament to the skill and care of the kitchen. The salad, dressed with vinocotto, stood out as a unique and memorable experience. It was our first time trying this rich, slightly sweet reduction, and it elevated the greens beautifully—both refreshing and complex. As a starter, we enjoyed the olives from the daily menu. They were impressively done—each olive had a gently crisped skin and a succulent, well-marinated center that made them both satisfying and sophisticated. Service was attentive and warm, striking the right balance between professionalism and friendliness. Though most guests understandably opted for the lovely outdoor seating on this perfect spring evening, we chose to dine indoors and were happy to find it cozy and welcoming, even during a busy hour. Etto remains a true gem for those who appreciate refined, authentic Italian flavors in a relaxed yet polished setting. Highly recommended.

Such a cozy and welcoming environment, it reminded me of home :) the wooden countertop and the prosciutto hanging on the wall behind it makes it look like a very traditional family owned place (although it's not - family owned, I mean). Service was excellent: kind, attentive and welcoming, also quick. Prosciutto and burrata were so fresh, I'd have them every time, together with some crunchy bread and olive oil is the best appetizer. Pizza was stunningly good, not necessarily in terms of dough - which was really good but not my favorite style -but for the topping. I had the seasonal one with butternut squash, rosemary and pancetta. This is a combination I rarely find outside of Italy, and I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw it on the menu but especially when I tasted it. Delicious!! Very well done job! :)

This is such a cute and casual pizza and wine bar! My friend and I went on a Saturday evening about 5:45. They do not take reservations but my friend was able to get our name on the list so when I arrived, we were seated immediately. It's not a large space with minimal seating so it does fill up. We were seated on the patio. We each ordered wine and shared the burrata, fingerling potatoes and the seating green tomato and sausage pizza. Everything was delicious! As others have pointed out, the pizza is Neapolitan style so it's thinner and wetter than NY or thicker style pizzas. I personally like this style so it didn't bother me, but get toppings do fall off as you eat a slice. The service was quick and efficient (honestly because they need to turn tables over).

Etto is absolutely my favorite new pizza in DC and perhaps a contender for my favorite pizza in the DMV! Was absolutely blown away by the awesome service, friendly and lively atmosphere (not too loud, nor too quiet) and gorgeous outdoor patio. The pizza (and bread) is AMAZING in taste and texture. I loved the seasonal vongole pizza and equally enjoyed the salami. I also loved our appetizer- we selected the octopus and gigantic bean salad which seemed odd at first but was perfectly tender and refreshing and light. The cocktails are good and strong and they have a STELLAR selection of wines, housemade limoncello, and unique Italian Amaro and other post dinner drinks and treats! I will definitely be coming back here in there future and for sure this is my new go-to spot on 14th! For reference most restaurants on 14th are overpriced and of mediocre quality but Etto did NOT disappoint!

might have ordered wrong bc our pizza just like didnt have cheese in it - just a little blob in the middle. so the food was just okay - will have to try again and re review. but! the service was so good! they were really attentive and super friendly. interior is cute too and homey.

I'm from Texas so the chances of me having a pizza from here is pretty low and that saddens me. I started with the watercress Caesar and I was not a fan.. For my main, I kept it simple and got a margherita pizza with pepperoni - 10/10. Food was hot and fresh so I'll think about this pizza for at least another month or so. The service was ok. The server didn't seem interested in taking care of us, maybe even annoyed (?). Anyway, pretty solid

I got a pepperoni pizza and lamb meatballs to share with the table and both were great. The pizza came out hot and the pepperonis were crispy. The lamb meatballs were also really flavorful and there's lots of sauce that you can dip your bread in.

Lovely environment. Great service. Annoying surcharge. We ordered a prosciutto appetizer and then a pizza. It was a nice light meal for summer Except for the 20% surcharge. It looks like they print new menus daily, so it should be easy enough for them to print menus with the full price. But the food was really good. I'll be back as soon as the surcharge goes away.

Overall: cute date spot - dim lighting, good service, and delicious food Food: i love their seasonal pizzas. The green tomato sausage was delicious! It's thin and flavorful. It's big enough to share with another person. But I would recommend getting an app. The burrata was perfect! Service: staff was very attentive. We came on a day that wasn't busy and were seated quickly. Staff also made great recommendations. Venue: small but cute and intimate. Only indoor seats.

Consistently the most intimate and charming small restaurant! The staff is outstanding in every sense of the word. Finally, the menu offers wonderful dishes that are healthy, delicious and pair well with Etto's impressive wine menu.

We love coming to DC and trying the many different places it has to offer. This weekend, we enjoyed dinner at Etto. Staff is super friendly. The servers had our glasses filled and quickly came to retreive the dirty dishes. The restaurant has a small bar and counter, a brick oven, and a seating area. No reservations were needed. We ordered the candied walnuts, termite dibitteto olives, deviled eggs, and lamb meatballs. The walnuts had the perfect crunch and sweetness. The olives were infused with garlic and had slivered pieces of pepper. The trio of deviled eggs with cornichon chives and paprika. The lamb meatballs had great flavor with a Middle Eastern flair. For the entrees, we ordered the Margarita pizza and the green tomato and sausage pizza. The pizzas were thin crust. Both had very good flavor. Cozy place. Highly recommend.

closer to a 3.5! I went for happy hour and wish there was more on the happy hour menu but was still happy! we started off with the pecorino & proscuitto - I love both of these items endlessly so I had high expectations and both were seriously perfect! I was a bit confused by the honey initially but it worked so well. deviled eggs were so good too I wish I ordered more! onto the pizza which I hoped would be the star of the show - I was kinda let down. the crust was really good so I get why this is a "good pizza" but I didn't like the toppings so maybe I just ordered the wrong one - I'll have to go back to try a different one. I wasn't a fan of the interior - it was super basic and didn't have a warm/cozy/welcoming feeling that I want from an Italian restaurant

Great service, fantastic craft cocktails, and well-prepared fresh ingredients. We tried the watercress caesar salad and it was absolutely delicious. The watercress was crisp and refreshing - not to mention this was a gorgeous salad, too. We tried two different seasonal drinks and they were perfect, not too sweet at all and very well made. We also tried the Green Tomato and Housemade Sausage pizza which I highly recommend. The tomato is fresh and sliced super thin. The dining space inside is well lit and cozy, and there's also a sizeable patio outside. We had an amazing time here with delicious food and I will definitely return.

Unbelievably cool spot. I may be gaining a reputation for only giving 5 star reviews but that's because I only eat and drink at good spots! Recommend sitting at the bar between 5 and 6pm on a week day. Sneak away from work a little early and grab a drink by yourself (it's a small bar). Great happy hour menu of $8 spritzes/negronis and a few bar bites like marinated olives and almonds. The pizza is fantastic - I had the seasonal Sicilian eggplant and it was absolutely perfect. Service was friendly, but not too attentive (in a good way). I really felt like I could enjoy my food, drink, and thoughts without a bartender asking if I was OK every 2 minutes. Highly recommend Etto. You can sit at the bar and watch them make pizzas in the wood-fired oven. What's not to like?

really nice restaurant to enjoy the nice weather or the indoors with not-so-big but delicious pizzas. we also got the potato with garlic aioli but the aioli was just garlic there was nothing aioli about it at all. but besides that it was very nice

TOP NOTCH! Coming from NYC/NJ - know pizza and Etto is cozy cool from artesian salad to the star wood fired pie and desserts with grappa digestives. A new favo

Quaint place. Walked in here on a whim and the only seating available was a small bar space facing out the front window. I wish I'd done a little digging on Yelp to look at food pictures before I ordered! Lots of things on here that people posted look awesome but I wasn't thrilled with my choices. I take part of the blame as I just wasn't familiar with some ingredients and I should have looked them up or asked questions before ordering. I started with the Ceasar salad. I didn't realize the salad would be entirely made up of watercress which is very stemmy rather than leafy. It did have a good crunch but wouldn't order again. My friend and I then split the calabrese pizza. I saw the word calabrese and was expecting something with calabrian chiles but turns out it's a type of broccoli, haha. Definitlely never would have ordered a broccoli pizza if we knew that's what it was! The crust was good and I could tell they know how to make a good pizza. I would definitely give this place it another try (and bring a dictionary!)

As many restaurants have come and gone in Logan Circle, Etto remains, after nearly a decade, one of our favorite spots for casual but sophisticated drinks and dinner. The menu remains small post-pandemic (there unfortunately aren't as many veggie and fish options as there once were), but you can still always count on interesting, unusual, and intense flavors, served with style and respect for the ingredients. Neopolitan-style pizzas are reliable. Pair one with a few small savory plates and a fresh salad and you've got a lovely, sophisticated meal that won't break the bank.

Mediocre food, horrific service. Bartender was extremely rude and clearly did not want to help my female friend and I. I look younger than I am- this is a key piece of information. My friend and colleague, a Egyptian male a bit older than us, came to join us at the bar. He was profiled when he came in, almost wasn't let in, and was subsequently followed around the restaurant at his every move. He was extremely uncomfortable, as was my friend and I in regard to the bartender's behavior. One week later, we continue to talk about this very bad experience. There are better "cozy" Italian spots with better food and service in DC proper. Just google it.

Overall tasty, might come back if I'm craving thin pizza w/lots of flavor but a little soggy. The pizza tastes great, but it was so hard to eat it without it slumping. The thin crust did not hold up the pizza at all. The meatballs were ok, I could've done without. Nothing special about them, just meatballs with a red sauce. The ambiance is great inside! Cute place for a first date.

Hostess was rude from the get go. We waited an hour and a half and parties the same size as us were seated before us. They seated unfull parties before us as well.

This lil spot is solid! Popped in for a post pride parade bite and got seated within 7 mins - imagine our luck. We were greeted by our waiter Alan and waters and menus immediately brought over to us - SCORE! We perused the menu and picked out a few items. We ordered the anchovy with soft egg, prosciutto and half burrata and the arugula and prosciutto pizza. All were excellent items. The chimichurri type sauce was divine and the egg, Perfectly soft. The burrata was some of the best I have ever had-it was so soft and creamy, and the prosciutto was the perfect temperature and they paired so well. The arugula and prosciutto pizza was also exceptionally good. I also got a chance to have a slice of the americana pizza, which was absolutely delicious. This small and intimate spot is definitely a place I could see myself coming back to.

We love this place for the pizza and the ambiance! If we want good pizza, we come here! Our server was very good as well. We also enjoyed a Prosecco, forget the name was it was so crisp and good! Def check this place out

Adds a 20% service fee and expects additional tip on top. Raise your prices you clowns.

I came to Etto for a weekday dinner with a friend. We ordered the Alla Romana pizza and the Caesar salad to share, and each got a glass of orange wine. The salad was absolutely incredible - just the right amount of dressing and parmesan. Our pizza was delicious as well, and I particularly was impressed by the crust. I was really pleased by my wine, which was a nice sized pour as well. I liked sitting inside, as it had a great wine bar vibe, but the patio looked nice as well. Our waitress was very helpful and sweet. I've already recommended this spot to a few friends!

Quick points: - food and wine were fine; will satisfy a craving - they will add 20% tip to the bill automatically - setting is casual - service seemed fine except for our server in particular Main issue: While the service of other customers seemed fine for the most part, I can't say the same regarding our server in particular. We were seated and had our drink orders taken quickly and we never saw the server again after that. We had to wave down a different server for food and our check after finishing our meal. During majority of our time there we saw our original server at the bar flirting/preoccupied with someone at the bar. They seemed to be drawing on each other or something? But anyways it wasn't possible to get the server's attention to place further orders. I'm assuming because the tip is already included, the server felt like the job was done already. Come for pizza and drinks but don't expect much service.

I would say this is the best pizza I've ever had. Crust was super thin and tasty. Service was great!!!!

The pizza was very delicious (I got classic margherita), and the lamb meatballs were so good, I would return just for those, they tasted South Asian-spiced, almost. I don't have a picture of them because I ate them too fast. Cute and cozy vibes, would go back. Tasted rustic and warmed my soul.

3.5 stars. Came to Etto on a Friday night for dinner and overall had a good experience. Not sure if they take reservations but we walked in around 5:30 without a wait. It's very small and missing some decor/ambience but it's nice and casual. Their drink menu is fairly limited but they have a decent wine list. To eat we had the farro kale salad which was absolutely delicious! Came with a small plate of bread that was good but would have been better if warm and with butter or olive oil. We also shared the butternut squash pancetta pizza. Overall a yummy fall pizza and perfect size to share for 2 people. The pizza is wood fired and more of a neopolitan style. A little wet for me, I like pizza with a bit more structure but that's just my preference and I enjoyed what we got. It was a white pizza so we asked for a side of sauce which was a good addition. Both our servers were friendly and engaging. Overall I had a good experience, and prices are super reasonable so I wouldn't mind coming back.

Amazing pizzas and apps. Pies are larger than sister restaurant 2Amys. Great atmosphere.

Ok, I don't normally give a 5 star on the first visit but this was so definitely not 4 star. Great experience! First, great service. Definitely 5 star service. Antonio and the rest of the team ensured the experience was wonderful. The Blood Orange Salad was tasty with olive oil dressing. I was surprised at how well they complimented each other. The Americano pizza was so incredibly good. So good that after the last bite I didn't want to take a drink. I didn't want to lose the amazing flavors in my mouth. Loved the tiny pepperoni and cheese blobs. The crust was great for dipping in olive oil after. Each bite was better than the last. The decor was pleasant and enjoyable. I love a brick oven pizza place but they had lots to choose from on the menu. Give them a try!

Charming setup, open kitchen, freshly cut prosciutto, fantastic Marcona almond appetizer. Cocktails are well blended but quite weak. An automatic astounding 20% 'service charge' that is claimed to not be gratuity is offensive so my company and I won't be back.

Nice little space with decent pizza. More of a wine and beer focus with a few specialty cocktails. Kinda pricey for the size of the pizzas but I can only imagine the rent they have to cover at this location.

Great server and good pizzas. Their dark bread was delicious! The pizzas had the perfect balance of blistering although I would've preferred a slightly more crispy bottom on the pizza. Overall, it's a solid choice.

I ate there this past Saturday night and the food was delicious as usual. However, the service has to change. We were rushed to order, told the kitchen was closing, told the espresso machine would close soon and then told the patio was closing in 15 minutes. All before 10:30 a.m. It seems they don't want customers to stay and order. The wait staff needs to take a course in customer service.

Drinks and food were good but the bartender, Chris, should be more mindful of the comments he makes to customers. We are patrons, not friends. He insulted a member of our party last night, she went outside to compose herself before returning to the table after what he said to her. It really put a damper on the evening. Stop making jokes at the expense of others.

Delicious authentic Neapolitan pizza - my top pick in DC! While there are no reservations, it's well worth the wait! From the cozy brick exposed walls to wood-burning oven and in-house mill, Etto is truly authentic and reminiscent of Naples. The classic Margherita pizza hits the spot with a pillowy chewy crust from the fresh in-house flour and dollops of buffalo mozzarella cheese and tomato puree. While the special Eggplant pizza was fun to try, the roasted eggplant and herbs overpowered the pizza. I preferred the simple Margherita pizza - less is more! My hubby enjoyed the tender and thinly sliced Prosciutto, shaped in a delightful rose petals! The cocktails pack a punch! The Wintry Mix Punch with Bourbon, Vermouth, and Amaro Sfumato was quite potent, the Blood Orange was subtle and hardly masked the alcohol. I enjoyed a glass of Lambrusco. Cozy spot for date night and small groups, be prepared to wait and grab a drink at the bar! On Valentine's Day, we waited for 45 minutes. There were no specials tailored to V-Day. The Tiramisu was sold out - next time! The daily specials are generally the same with a couple of new dishes popping up. Etto is a bright spot on U Street. Definitely prefer Etto to the overhyped Ghibellina the next block over.

Stopped by this establishment on our way to dinner for a pre dinner drink. I got a Hugo's boss at the bar and it tasted and smelled like a wet sock (mildew-y). Was very confused? Anyways, it was disgusting. There was a lemon peel garnish in my drink so I am assuming it was because the lemon or maybe the glass had not been washed properly? However, I did drink my partners drink and there was not the same mildew scent / taste. We proceeded to drink our drinks and chatted for a few moments before the bartender comes up to my partner and asks if he would like another drink, and did not even acknowledge my presence. Even though I had just about the same amount left of my drink as him. This was extremely odd and rude. Unfortunately, a 20% auto grat is included in the bill. I would not have tipped 20% if I had the choice.

The food is ok but I just can't get over the takeout portion size. Lol I really paid nearly $16 for some celery. The celery salad comes in a tiny container that isn't even the size of my hand!! It's ridiculous, for $16!? Never again.

They charge 20% on top of you bill to pay staff wages. It's not a gratuity and does not go to your server. It goes to thier payroll. Food is very over priced and you have to pay 20% payroll fee PLUS a 20% tip. A pizza, salad and w wines ended up costing about $100. Yikes

I just experienced Etto for the first time last night with a friend and it was such a nice meal! We each enjoyed one of their signature cocktails (mine was the Torno Subito) and then shared the olives, corn salad (was so good), and split the Americano and Pesto/Cherry Tomato pizzas. Was just the right amount of food and also allowed us to take a couple of slices home as leftovers. Will definitely be returning!

Delicious and cute restaurant with a nice outdoor seating. The pizza oven is woodfired, which just at a different level to the flavor of their pizza.

My husband and I decided to check this place out for date night and we were so happy with it! We were surprised how quickly we got a table given that it was a Saturday evening on 14th. Our biggest issue was deciding which pizza to order because the entire menu is appealing. We ended up with a sausage and artichoke pizza and it was so delicious. The ambiance is cute and casual.

Wonderful place with great people, great cocktails, and an astounding amaro list! We loved Etto!

BEST PIZZA OF MY LIFE! Very cute rustic Chic place. Service is amazing. Dropped in for a solo date. Sat by the window. Definitely recommend stopping by.

I'm on a constant debate with an acquaintance about whether or not DC has good pizza. In my mind, I am winning in favor of a good pizza scene and can add Etto to my list of arguments. Etto serves good pizza to Washington, D.C. It's a small, no reservation Italian restaurant in the heart of 14th Street NW with bar seating and an outdoor patio. Simple candles grace each table with the glow of the brick oven in the back baking Italian thin crust pizza. Their menu changes daily including their pizza, meats, and cocktail selection. When I went, I ordered a sausage and green tomato pizza with a fried egg on the top. It cost $17, but it was large and filling. If you love pizza, you MUST pop into Etto!

we walked in and loved the vibe. food was great. service was good. we got seated and gave up another reservation . when the menu came at the bottom it was noted then the resto would add a 20% surcharge so staff would have a ' living wage'. what kind of management does not pay a living wage. shame. and we have to tip on top of this not knowing if the first 20% is filtering down to staff. so I go into you resto and theoretically pay an additional 35 to 40% more? just adjust prices like the other restos on your block and be proud you pay a living wage. raise your prices accordingly. I am confident customers would come back.

It's hard to come by good pizza in DC but this restaurant met the expectations!! Really great pizza and apps!
