Michelle OlenoskiJanuary 9, 2014I'm feeling conflicted. Everyone is writing about the amazing crust. I agree...it's nice and chewy. But the burnt charred oven taste is something I've never love in pizza -- and this place has it!!
Behrad EatsMarch 23, 2014Lots of delicious dishes here but one item you must get is the Trofie alla Finanziera, it is chestnut trofie finanzieria with sweetbreads, veal brains, chicken liver and marsala.
dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionAugust 7, 2014Patio seating, candlelit, is the best on a calm almost balmy summer evening, sunset reflection on eye St 425 mass Ave Apts across the St.
Corey NicholsAugust 9, 2014It's a fairly new restaurant in the area. So there's plenty of seating inside (outside if you're early). There was a bit of a wait to get our order in, but once we did, the food and drinks kept coming- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 5, 2014Get here for hh, before 10 kitchen closes on time! Pizza after.... Wines on tap ! Prosecco rose, goes well with tge rabbit. Tonno Di coniglio and super Tuscan with birille Di carne lamb veal pork
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionAugust 7, 2014Cocktail of the day is peach side pit? Peach Stoli razberry, twist of lime....sounds delish!
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 22, 2014Tricolore if you like variety, other Martinis & cocktails are great too...HH menue & apps are great, rabbit duck & other delicacies lamb meat balls!
Emily CharltonJuly 27, 2015The bottomless brunch is a great deal. Get the veal pasta! You won't be disappointed
Daniel ShawJanuary 25, 2015Finally a bottomless brunch spot with good food! Unlimited food and drink for $35!
Ali ErtugrulJanuary 30, 2014One of the best happy hours in town... 5 dollar wines and half price pizzas from 4 to 7 PM...
Sandra RubinchikJanuary 18, 2016There are definitely better bottomless brunches in this city. But if you're forced to go, the tajarin and the pizzas are your safest options.
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionAugust 7, 2014Lingua al Verde was superb, now on to the birille de carne (fried lamb veal pork meatballs) since no more comp mortadella now
Joe LareauJanuary 18, 2014Ate during restaurant week; excellent server. Food served in interesting plates, presentation an A+. Trendy atmosphere, great food.
Trelane PatrickJanuary 4, 2014The pizza crust is amazing, so you can't go wrong ordering one of those.

Don't miss the torta gianduja, if you don't like chocolate that much go with the panna cotta
Sonja StrongarmAugust 19, 2015Amazing Italian Sunday brunch with an option for unlimited peach bellinis- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 22, 2014Double-fisting elegantly.... Prosecco & martini....thanks! @Bob bob (Neil) - missed u last week... Where u been hiding? Come hang on the boat soon!
Kelsey HarnistAugust 31, 2014Can't remember the last place where quality varied so much by individual item. Unfortunately the bottom end is basically inedible/undrinkable (based on 3 times here).- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionAugust 7, 2014Veal tongue with green sauce since the rabbit is gone... Complimentary mezzeluna bites
- Kelsey HarnistFebruary 7, 2014Confirmed on the il lago--Italian liqueurs add weird licorice/foot flavor. Gorgonzola pizza was great.
Food is acceptable, but expensive. Bar staff is fun, but the servers seem inexperienced. Sit at the bar and try the prosciutto rucola pizza.- Late night happy hour with half priced beers and pizzas from 10 PM weekends.
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 5, 2014Red Wine & Blue martini "il tricolore" cocktail with Bartender "Bob Bob"
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 22, 2014Doubke-fisting elegantly.... Prosecco & martini....thanks! @Bob bob
D LangJanuary 14, 2014The pizza was ok, slightly salty and if you're a Manhattan drinker don't try the "IL LAGO"...not great at all... Still working the kinks out at a new place atmosphere...
Diego CifuentesSeptember 14, 2014Horrible service. food takes for ever to come even though the place was empty. We got there at 8 n didn't hit our food till 9. If it wasn't because we were celebrating our bdays with some friends walk
Willie Lo LoMarch 30, 2014the bartenders cannot handle the sunday crowd. this is the worst service I've had in a very long time. as well... the food was mediocre at best. we didn't finish. I won't be back.
Amanda GreeneMarch 23, 2014DON'T get the prosciutto cocktail. It's not good. At all. Shouldn't even be on the menu it's so bad. All the other cocktails were yummy though.
Alex PopovaAugust 24, 2015Brunch is meh... There are much better places in DC for bottomless brunch.
Joe GizziApril 11, 2014Wouldn't come back. Poor service and underwhelming food. Dessert (fried apples) was nice though.
Rodrigo Alberto PerezSeptember 7, 2014El filetto está fantástico. Acompáñese con un buen vino rosso.
