Nonna's Kitchen

Absolutely delicious!! The Chef is incredibly talented, and I highly recommend the 7 course Chef's tasting menu with wine paring. The Sommelier suggested that I try a very nice red wine from Sardinia, which is now one of my favorites. Everything is fresh and made daily...just like Italy. Make sure you're very hungry before you go because I always leave stuffed. Very small and intimate atmosphere, which would be great for a first date. Staff are very professional and friendly. Whether you live in DC or you're just visiting, Nonna's Kitchen should be on your to-do list!

A tale of two dinners. My girlfriends dinner 3 star rating for food, for value it would be a 2. My dinner 4 star for food, 2 star for value. Let me explain. I really wanted to like this place and have given them a 4 star rating because I think they will eventually figure it out. But currently I don't really get it. You can order two ways, prix fix- 2,4, or 6 course + dessert or a la carte. The website mentions no pricing for any of these options, though if you book through open table you can use the menu function to figure it out. The kinda off putting part is, no prices even appear on the restaurant menu upon sitting down, for a la carte. With a little research you will find this restaurant is priced similar to some of the top ones in the city, not wholly consistent with the meal served. My girlfriend ordered the following: burrata which had not much taste Ravioli, again not much taste Scallops, over done, chewy texture and not much taste She was quite disappointed as she loves evening star and was really looking forward to this place My meal: Polenta-really good, giving bites to my girlfriend and having her melt pretty funny,especially cause she was on the bland burrata at the time, satisfying on multiple fronts haha Gnocchi- again just really tasty, though it could have used some balance to soften the gameyness of the neck,perhaps some cinnamon but what do I know New York strip- very good as well, though for $42 I should probably receive more than a 4oz cut Overall the table was let down by the experiece. I am sure they will figure it out,and I hope they do as I plan to return. I wish they would offer some cocktail options,this is a young city,not everyone drinks wine exclusively though I do realize it's Italian fare and pairs quite well with wine. Please post your pricing structure, every restaurant does no matter their exclusivity, i.e. Marcel's, Komi, Fiola Mare etc....

One of my top restaurants in DC now. It's perfect for dates, families, or just a great meal. Very intimate, amazing staff, and mind blowing food. The wine list is exceptional (and affordable). Also, the chef prepared a popcorn flavored gelato that words do no justice. My companion and I had the gnocchi and papardelle and both were incredible. You absolutely MUST try this place.
