Al Volo Osteria

One of the best Italian spots in DC - truly a hidden gem. Their food is consistently delicious - I love the carbonara, but my dining companions are always happy with the variety of other dishes they make as well! The pasta is perfectly cooked every time, and the carbonara is creamy, rich, flavorful, and overall just fantastic. Service is excellent and very attentive. They’ve started taking payment at the table which is nice and speedy. Last time I went it was quiet, and the host/server actually went so far as to open & hold the door for us on our way out! The tables in the window seating area are by far the best - lots of natural light and it feels very open. The seats on the lower level do feel a bit darker and more cramped. If making a reservation for a special dinner, perhaps request one of the window tables.

Vegetarian Food Review: Found Al Volo on Google and went there to grab some dinner. Really liked the ambiance. The bread served was no good…. Soft and nor was the oil flavoured like it could have been with the stuff in it. However the Burrata Ravioli was a pleasant surprise thus the 4 star. It was simple and lovely. They did not have much option for nonalcoholic beverage so succumbed to my normal choice as Coke is the only option.

Absolutely and utterly delicious! Breathtakingly good. Never have I eaten at an Italian restaurant that had me gasp at every bite. It was clear and obvious the quality of the food and the fact that it was homemade. we ordered: See the video for yourself, the meat is actually falling off the bone. so tender, so juicy and riddled with flavor. A battle I had was continuing to eat more while realizing I was getting too full! Great portion sizes! I'm counting the days until we return. The hardest decision will be to order what we got last time or try something new! I can only believe it will all be delicious. Each dish had an incredible presentation. I just cannot get enough of the taste. Absolutely homemade. Tasted fresh! You can visibly see how hard each member works and how happy they are to be there. I'm ready to go back!
