RPM Italian is a chic dining destination by Giuliana and Bill Rancic, known for its stellar pastas, prime steaks, and a lively atmosphere perfect for any gathering.
"The polished Mt. Vernon Triangle fixture founded by celebrity couple Bill and Giuliana Rancic famously fed superstar groups BTS and Coldplay cacio e pepe and cheesecake back in 2022. A year later, Grammy-winning rapper Drake fueled up here in between concerts at Capital One Arena. He also carved out time during his tour stop to DJ a set at Dupont’s subterranean nightclub Heist and show up at Versus sibling Ciel Social Club atop the AC Hotel." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
"Ring in the New Year at RPM Italian with a 5-course menu featuring dishes such as RPM pearl oysters, wild Alaskan halibut, and wagyu steak “grigliata.” Guests will receive a complimentary glass of Giuliana prosecco. The special dinner costs $150 per person and booking is on Open Table." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Despite being a chain, Chicago-born RPM consistently sends out superior pastas, with excellent service to match, at its glitzy location in Mt. Vernon Triangle. The best-selling Mama DePandi’s bucatini pomodoro relies on a family recipe from RPM’s co-founder Giuliana Rancic. The D.C. hotspot is also known for its cacio e pepe, short rib bolognese, and celebrity clientele like BTS and Drake." - Tierney Plumb, Mekita Rivas
"RPM prides themselves on a contemporary take to Italian fare, and they’re popular with some of Washington’s famous and those performing at Capital One Arena because they can slip in and out through an underground parking garage without the fanfare. Superstar guests have included Drake, Coldplay, and BTS." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"RPM Italian offers private dining for as little as 8 or a larger celebration of up to 500 guests. You can even create a personalized private dining experience, from menu selection and design to wine pairings and floral arrangements." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Vinciane Ngomsi
