I'll admit, I was surprised. I undersold this place from the unassuming exterior and no prior mentions of it from an Italian friend in the area - but suffice it to say, I'll be mentioning it to them. I ordered the boar pasta, which was perfectly spiced and cooked, and had such great flavor. The red wine paired really nicely (the white wine I tasted was also delicious). Our server was friendly (despite the complicated and demanding set of diners at a nearby table) and attentive, and the dining room was cozy in, again, a surprising way (who'd have thought dorm room string lights were a nice companion for exposed brick and misc photographic prints). I want to come back some time and try more.

Went for happy hour on a Wednesday and it was pretty good. Enjoyed the cocktails but honestly they were nothing special considering it was "speakeasy night". Food was decent but the tacos were the best part which is odd considering it's an Italian restaurant. Bartender was attentive but not overly pleasant. Overall a 4 star experience mostly because of the solid prices for DC.

The food here is really good, honestly. Best lobster pasta I've ever had. You're gonna pay for it, but it's worth it. Shaw is home to a fantastic Italian place.

Unpretentiously great.
I took the family here on New year's Eve for dinner while we were visiting on vacation. They had a better selection for a gluten-free person, like myself, then I would have expected. The service was good,and the owner was often nearby checking on us. He was friendly and understated how good the place was. It was a fixed priced evening, as New year's often is, but he offered our special needs daughter a child's menu to save us money.
Several of the items surprised me. The wagyu sirloin steak was truly exceptional. It may be the best sirloin steak I've ever had. It was tender and juicy with a great beef flavor. My wife and son had pasta dishes and raved about them as well. I am unable to have gluten or dairy, but the owner made sure that I had some glazed pears for dessert, which were a good choice.
I ordered Kay's Manhattan, which is a dry vermouth version. It was well crafted, and I was encouraged to try a boulevardier, which is difficult to make, as it usually comes out a too bitter. I was, once again, pleasantly surprised and how well-balanced it was. It had that perfect balance of bitter and sweet with rich flavor that a good whiskey drink should have.
For last-minute recommendation, in a town that gets a lot of foodie tourism, I was amazed to find that this last minute reservation yielded such an exceptional experience. If I were local, this would be a regular stop for me.

Food here was good and the service was friendly and attentive. It was quiet on a Tuesday night, but I think it could pick up a bit toward weekends. Didn't have an opportunity to check out the bar downstairs, but the wine selection was nice and the meal was overall quite pleasant.

Always a pleasure: fine food, interesting wines, laid-back feeling. Last night's truffle dinner was delightful, with plenty of black and white truffles shaved over everything (measured with a gram scale!). The Wine Madness half-off deal allowed us to try an intriguing frizzante "orange" wine that went well with dinner.

Went here (the downstairs level) on a casual first date and it was a good choice. The wine was lovely and the tapas were good (though not too much in the way of veggie options). The decor was unpretentious, and the bartender was friendly and provided good service. I would happily go again.

One of my favorite local spots! The happy hour can't be beat--includes great deals on cocktails and food (try the deviled eggs!) I also appreciate Dino's because it is very family-friendly. They offer a very sophisticated kid's menu. We had a great mother's day dinner there and they were very accommodating with a large group of us.
