Pleasant place to have lunch, close to the water.
There was not much fish on the menu, it was mostly Italian.
You don't have to wait long for your food. The portions were large and tasted good.
We found the staff pushy when paying. Otherwise ok service.
I would recommend it if you like to eat Italian.

I made a reservation and was quickly seated. Overall the Chicken Parmesan was not good. The chicken was dried out and not tasteful. There was not enough sauce on the chicken also. The pasta that they used was okay but very thick. The stone fire pizza was delicious and perfectly cooked. Finally the tiramisu was not moist and very dry. The prices are in line with the high prices in DC. Also, parking is all paid and very expensive. I would not come here again.
Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant! Was at the huge Jazz festival at The Wharf and all restaurants were packed. Decided to leave but then found this quaint, small restaurant on a side street on the way out. What a gem! Both times we’ve eaten here, we had the brick oven pizza, and it is great. We like to sit at the bar, where we can watch the pizza being made, and the other restaurant employees busily filling other orders. All of their custom pizza recipes are unique, and the pizza tastes great. Highly recommended.
This place is the perfect place for authentic Italian fare! The ingredients are high quality, the service is remarkably fast (we were served and almost finished with dinner within a half hour!), and the drinks were fantastic. I had the Norcia pizza, with added ricotta, and their red sangria! Lupo Marino made our last dinner in D.C. one to savor 🤩 Aracely was a very kind, efficient, and fantastic server!
Update: ordered tiramisu after posting this review and oh. my. god. This is the best dessert you could get here, and you can tell its made by hand. The vanilla cream has real vanilla bean in it 😭❤️

The place is cozy and the design interior is really beautiful. The server Dmitry was polite and helpful, and in a good mood 👌🏼 I had Chicken Parmesan Pasta, it was tasty but too much of breading on the chicken.
Unfortunately we were not impressed with the flavors of the food and felt they were very highly priced for the quality. Our waitress wasn’t attentive, but the manager noticed and stepped in a few times to care for us. We appreciated that.
It is a bit congested for sitting, we had to wait over 5 minutes just for someone to come talk to us to give a table. Food was good but really less quantity for high price. Drinks were good.
Meh. Service was great, but food was just okay. Lasagna was pretty bland, and came without bread or anything, which for $25 is unacceptable. $12 salad was basically a pile of arugula. Many local Italian restaurants in my midwest hometown of 44k are far better.
