Love Filomena Ristorante! It is our “go-to” for special occasion dinners. They offer more than just a meal—they deliver an experience steeped in tradition, warmth, and culinary excellence. From the moment you step inside, the old-world charm envelops you. The Christmas décor is beautiful and sets a nice festive ambiance for the holidays. We started our meal with the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, the Crab Purse and Meatballs (a must have on each visit). All were delicious and we would not hesitate to order again. The main courses were equally spectacular—the Linguini Cardinale, loaded with fresh seafood and a decadent cream sauce, is a masterpiece, the Veal Chop, which melts in your mouth, and the Tortelloni Di Michele, a luscious brisket stuffed pillow with a wonderful mushroom sauce. We highly recommend all three of these dishes. The perfect end to such a delicious meal is any of their exceptional desserts.The Filomena Cannoli is a showstopper, as is any of their cheesecakes or the Tres Leches cake. Pair it with a robust espresso or enjoy with the provided Sambuca or Amaretto. The service at Filomena is second to none. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest feels like family. Whether it’s a romantic evening, a celebratory dinner, or just a casual night out, they make every moment special.

Wonderful evening at “Ivanka & Jared’s” table ..too bad a biz dinner and not with my wife who happens to be a Georgetown grad!

Reuniting with a former colleague, I felt satisfied that the menu (gluten-free, etc.) would please her—and it did. The thoughtful wait staff members were attentive but not hovering. We both enjoyed the soups and salads and even lingered over cups of cappuccino. The week prior, I enjoyed a similar experience with another out of town friend. Well done!

Fitzgerald’s has an excellent ambience for sharing good times while enjoying excellent food and well-curated beverages. It’s one of DC’s great spots for a nice date or mingling with good friends.

Five star service and amazing seafood. Highly recommend the boiled/steam lobster, crab, mussels, and shrimp.
