Italian trattoria with rooftop views and specialty market
"The Wharf’s tri-level Italian restaurant kicked off a DJ-driven drag brunch series on its stylish rooftop two years ago. The $25 ticket, complete with a welcome cocktail and a la carte menu, pops off every third Thursday of the month." - Tierney Plumb
"The glass-enclosed pinnacle of chef Nick Stefanelli’s tri-level Italian complex is the spot to soak up sights of the bustling Municipal Fish Market below and the Washington Monument in the distance. The spacious setup is framed with fire pits and stylish lounge seating." - Tierney Plumb
"Michelin-starred chef Nicholas Stefanelli’s tri-level Italian complex greets visitors with an airy, European-styled cafe and bar drenched in sunlight. That’s followed by a second-level restaurant serving casual Southern Italian fare and stellar Negronis. Its prized rooftop terrace, dressed with sleek furniture, fire pits, and greenery, woos diners with aperitivos, seasonal cocktails, small bites, and an expansive Champagne list." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"On the Wharf, Nicholas Stefanelli’s classic Italian trattoria offers rooftop views overlooking the Potomac River. The terrace is modeled after a restaurant and cafe in Rome, and it can hold 100 to 150 standing guests for a cocktail reception. Meanwhile, a full restaurant buyout is possible for an extra-large wedding (combined, the three stories can host 500 people). Large-scale buyouts range from $20,000 to $25,000. Stefanelli’s downtown Greek showpiece Philotimo and NoMa’s Michelin-rated Masseria also offer full buyouts for weddings." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The three-level complex at the Wharf has plenty of options for private events, from the 12-seat private dining room overlooking the water to a very chic rooftop events space complete with fire pits and stellar views that can accommodate up to 60 people." - Tierney Plumb
