    It took a good 15 minutes for our waiter to show up after we were seated; once he made it to our table, service was great. The holiday atmosphere was great fun and the room was beautiful. We had a tasty arugula salad but our pasta dishes were disappointing. The serving sizes were ridiculously huge and wasteful…. That always makes me feel badly. Then I tucked into my gnocchi with broccoli which was gloopy and flavorless. My husband’s rigatoni with sausage was passable but forgettable. The sausage had no flavor. Prices were sky high. The waiter did recommend an excellent wine.

    Tony at the front is awesome. So charming and charismatic. And Kevin, our server, remembered what I ordered weeks ad weeks ago! It blew my mind! This place is so special. The people are wonderful. If you have never gone, you must go! I always get the tomahawk steak and the WORLD'S BEST RISOTTO!! So so good. SO good. And listen, you've never had cannoli until you've had it Filomena's way. I've been going to this restaurant for a quarter century and the only thing I've regretted is never meeting Joanne or Filomena. What a treat that would be!

    Filomena is a culinary gem that transports diners to the heart of Italy with its inviting, cozy ambiance and exquisite flavors. The attentive and knowledgeable staff at Filomena added a personal touch to the evening. Their genuine enthusiasm while describing the menu and offering recommendations truly enhanced the dining journey. With each bite, it was evident that the kitchen spared no effort in perfecting the taste and presentation of their dishes. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. Definitively a superb culinary experience!

    The service was amazing. Really good. The food was absolutely terrible. Both of our dishes were bland and not good quality materials. I am not going back, especially since you are paying for a bunch of decorations and not for good quality food.

    Fantastic food and service. Always busy. Fantastically friendly staff who know their food, drinks how to serve so you can really enjoy your foods. The Sunday sauce is with the wonderful on a variety of dishes. The Vodka sauce is marvelous with the sausage and cannoli. The desserts are beyond words, from the eclairs to the cheesecakes are homemade and heavenly. We go twice a year on special occasions.

    Great food at an iconic restaurant. The pasta is superb. The Osso Buco melts in your mouth. Two glasses of wine, wonderful bread basket and an after dinner sambuco (on the house) made the dinner perfect. Prices are normal for the area and the quality, about $140 for 2 people. Definitely our "go-to" place for a special meal in DC.

    I must admit we went here after a performance at the Kennedy Center to see the Christmas decorations. They were great, but the food was super. Traditional Italian food that was delicious and bountiful. And getting served by tuxedoed waiters and maitre d’s who were incredibly responsive was a giant plus.

    We’ve been going to Filomena for years and have loved the over the top holiday decorations and big family style plates of food. We didn’t mind the crowds and noise as it led to the festive experience. Last night, day after Thanksgiving, we were a family of 6 and our experience was just fair. The waiter was blasé; not good nor bad and didn’t add to the experience. He brought the wrong appetizer and when we asked about it, he said that was what we ordered. My family didn’t want to be a bother so we let it go. When the rest of the food arrived, it was just ok. Mine was cold (spinach ricotta ravioli), the Caesar salad nothing special, the chicken parmesan mediocre, and the cheesecake was still frozen in the middle. We all remarked that the portions are now much smaller yet the prices stayed high (used to be able to share one dish for 2 people, justifying the $$$ price). If you haven’t been before, they don’t have any of the classics like Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara (they do have a sort of version with spinach ravioli but it’s just heavy white sauce, no flavor), Amatriciana, nor any long noodle dishes. They just have short noodles like penne so beware it’s more American Italian than authentic Italian. To be balanced in my review, my sister in law loved her seafood cannelloni, the penne with vodka sauce was good, and my husband likes the tiramisu. Go to Fiola or Centrolina instead for much better food, though they won’t have the over the top the holiday decorations!

    We went to Filomenas to celebrate my daughters 13 th Birthday. The waiter was aware and said Happy Birthday. While we were having lunch multiple people were sung happy Birthday by the waiters in the restaurant and my daughter saw this. At the end of our meal we were waiting for my daughter to be sung to… far from it… very ride waiter turned around and said… no Birthday candle for you… maybe somewhere else… I would not celebrate ANYTHING at this restaurant… this should just never happen especially for a 13 year old. Awful service… Christmas decorations are old, overdone and of the worst taste. We will never go back- waiter and manager shoukd be fired

    This was our second time to dine there. We had lunch and we were very happy with our choices. We shared a salad and then had pasta. We had cocktails and wine. Dessert was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive with a dry sense of humor. Overall a very good second experience! We will definitely be back. The food is to die for!

    The food at Filomena is untouchable. My family has been a regular visitor for about 25 years and each time, we are blown away at the quality, flavor, and standard of the food. I have been to other Italian restaurants in other cities and in DC that have dishes that could be more of a favorite but when you come to Filomena's you are coming for an old world experience. You are treated spectacularly, fed a wonderful meal, and are never rushed. You pay for this experience but I highly suggest making a reservation at this DC Staple a least once. Thank you Filomena and Happy 40th Birthday!
