My guy and I went at 8:30pm on a Saturday night and was seated right away. This place is wonderful and intimate, perfect date spot or really great catch up time when a friend. The dim lighting set the mood and the music selection was excellent, the best I’ve ever heard at a restaurant to be honest. I ordered the shrimp and crab rosé, which is a tomato creamed penne dish. The tomato taste is definitely there, I needed to add salt which made it taste better. I would say it was 7/10 the day of, leftovers were 8/10 at the house when I added more crushed red pepper. My boyfriend got FETTUCCINE ALFREDO and added grilled chicken and a shrimp and he literally cleaned his plate. I’ve literally NEVER seen him he all his food at a restaurant like this and we’ve been together for 3 years. He absolutely loved it. Alfredo is one of his favorite dishes and he gave it at 9.8/10. The chicken was thinly sliced just like he likes it. I recommend this place hands down. We will be back and I plan to try something different. This place is a few notches above Olive Garden of course.
Overall, my experience was great. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant and staff were nice. Fried calamari was cooked well and crispy. Not much seasoning in the batter and the marinara is a touch on the plain side (read no zestiness/spiciness). I really enjoyed my entree, Chicken Cardinale. The sauce was delicious. I was too full to try any dessert. Maybe next time I'm in D.C. Oh, there is a parking garage right around the corner so it's easy to park and walk 2 minutes to the restaurant.
Olazzo was a great experience. We sat at the bar while we waited for a table. The bartender was quick to greet us and get our drink order. Once we were seated, our waiter was just as quick to bring us waters, take an additional drink order and out appetizer order. You cannot go wrong with the Arancini for an appetizer!! Our apps and meals came out HOT!! Everything was perfect! They have a dessert menu as well- we had the warm brownie with grlato and the tirarmisu. Both were too die for! Highly recommend!
Fried calamari cooked and season well diddnt need the dipping sauce. The arancini was so cheesy. I had never had this before and definitely would get again. The penne alla checca was nice dish very light for pasta. My cousin had the shrimp and crab rose, which he enjoyed. Only issue nothing came out hot
I have been here twice now. Both during brunch service. I have ordered the avocado toast which was a well balanced flavor combination of creamy, salty, and cheesy. Like a party in my mouth and not too heavy for early morning but enough to help soak up the DELICIOUS mimosas which they offer for just $5 dollars on brunch happy hour. The second dish I’ve tried is the wild mushroom gnocchi with Milanese chicken added. Absolutely divine. I’m in heaven. And my wallet was not crying when I left so.. def 1000% recommend from a very picky, food industry professional…
