Graffiato

I experienced a full 3-course meal here and left very happy. The price to portion ratio wasn't great, but it's really not that type of restaurant. Their dishes are meant to be a little edgy by incorporating flavors outside the norm of traditional Italian. I was impressed by their antipasto salad, but the main dish (chicken thighs) were just okay. Service was great and timely on the plus side. All in all, this place makes for a nice "fancy" Italian dinner outing, but I'd be just as happy to go to any other good Italian place with traditional dish recipes.

An interesting restaurant near Capital One Arena and Chinatown. Chef Mike Isabella has an interesting take on Italian food. We went during the summer so his menu was "Jersey Shore". Seafood boils of different types with a great sauce and peel & eat. When we arrived we were taken to our booth which was upstairs. My wife had the spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti was more like angel hair. And the tomatoes that were in the sauce were fresh and cooked into meal. They had a few beers on draft. A couple more in bottles and cans. We ordered the zeppoles for dessert. They were exquisite since they were warm and had a side of Bavarian cream.

Incredible! The Chef's special with wine pairings was absolutely devine. The courses kept building upon each other, culminating with an inspired desert selection.

The service and food are worth returning and why I recommend this restaurant. My favorite dishes are the gnocchi and the rigatoni. The flavors of these dishes are abundant. The size of the dish is enough to "hit the spot" though I wish I could have so much more! Price range per plate of this restaurant is between $15 and $25.

Nice setting, great view from second floor and very polite staff...bar servers included! The food was delicious... highly reccomend and I will be enjoying another meal there again soon. The location is perfect for shopping,movies,even bowling LOL (who knew?) and much much more.

Got the agnolotti, hanger steak, and the "The Countryman" Pizza. The food came out promptly, and the agnolotti and hanger steak were tremendous. Two of the best dishes I've had in DC. For dessert we ordered the zeppole and cannoli. Both were amazing and I'd highly recommend them. The plates are very small, but I'd recommend 2 per person, which should leave you with just enough room to try their amazing desserts.

My wife and I came back here for the cream cheese filled croutons in their Caesar salad. Sadly we learned that they no longer have croutons or salads. All that remains are highly priced pizzas and pasta. Only a person who just spent $12.25 for a beer at Capital One Arena would think that $4.00 is a reasonable price for a fountain drink. The best thing about my dining experience was that I got to eat most of my wife's meal since she found it unappetizing. There are better options in the area.

Came in while waiting for a table at the ramen place next door. Service was quick so we we're able to run back for our table when necessary. We we're here for spritz hour on Sunday night. Got the 24k magic which was perfect in every way. It looks like they extend happy hour on Sunday so we ended up getting great deals all night. Highly recommend!
