We were walking around #Georgetown tonight and stopped by and took a look at the menu. The manager greeted us and asked us if we have eaten here before. We replied with a big ole Midwestern ‘nope’. Then mentioned we did not have reservations. He said for you. You do not have to worry. He sat us immediately. The staff and food were amazing. We will definitely be back!!

Saw a review that talked about the food not having any flavor, not sure if the chef at the time had a bad day or what, but I can’t agree with any of the statements‼️

Seriously the best Italian food I’ve had in ages. I got the rigatoni Gorgonzola, and it had the most incredible rich flavor. The blood orange Italian soda was great, too. One member of my party didn’t get his order, and our server was so apologetic. He gave us a fresh pasta dish to take home, two desserts, and comped the drinks. I would have given five stars for the food alone and five more stars for the customer service.

Stopped in for a late lunch without a reservation, was seated immediately. The brunch prix fixe menu looked perhaps too abundant so we went with lighter options with no regrets. Great bruschetta and the eggplant appetizer was excellent. Pizza margherita was very good – particularly the mozzarella.

I went with a girlfriend of mine for a leisurely splurge day about Georgetown. Decided on Ristorante Piccolo for dinner on a Friday, walk-in was available as it was just before the dinner rush, and had our pick of the free table in the nook by the window, underneath the stairs. Very cute and intimate restaurant, and the rest of it–downstairs or upstairs–was no less attractive. Fireplace on both floors, with a cute balcony to eat on when it gets warmer.

Such a delightful place! We lucked out in getting seats without reservation on a Saturday evening (thank you, Achmed) and had the most wonderful dinner experience. Accompanied by fine wine, excellent food and live violin music the last of which was most unexpected.

Really enjoyed brunch before a matinee at the Kennedy center. 2 course and a drink for $32 plus an option for bottomless. The service was attentive and the food delicious- especially the lamb stufato.

I don’t know how we found this little gem, tucked away off 31st in Georgetown, but I am glad we did! Our server Ylli was amazing. Good service is usually enough to bring us back… but in this case, the service AND the food was simply outstanding. Cyrus, the manager was so welcoming, and we felt like we had been patrons for years. This restaurant is now our go to… if you’re looking for a great Italian restaurant, with a homey vibe. This is it. We ordered 6 different entrees, and each one were stellar. My personal favorite is the seafood risotto. Absolutely phenomenal!
