Very cozy, affordable family-friendly w/impeccable service and ample kids menu. Kids are charged by their age. Eggplant parmigiana and cioppino are tasty choices for adults. Good deals on wine too.

This cozy enoteca in Cleveland Park is your quintessential neighborhood restaurant. It also just so happens to have one of the best wine lists in town. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Dino is something rare in DC: an honest good dining experience. There is too much high-priced, superficially "foodie" joints. Dino brings a solid menu with an eye on the unique, a just folks appeal.

They knock 33 percent off wines priced $50 or higher on Sunday and Monday, and allow patrons to bring in their own wine, free of corkage fees, on Tuesday and Thursday. Read more

Had the three courses for $27 and it was so worth it! Excellent cheese selection, wonderfully creamy Risotto with mushrooms and perfect tiramisu. Best of all,they serve local food. Get a reservation.

Must have the great burger prepared with anchovy & sriracha aioli on a ciabatta bun, add on pepper bacon and caramelized onions!

Definitely try the gelato. The cinnamon has hints of cardamom and is absolutely amazing.
Dana FlynnJanuary 13, 2014
Absolutely delicious. Had the fried roman artichokes, fettuccini chantarelle, and tiramisu, loved it all!

The Burger & Brew deal at the bar is one of the best in town! Enjoy the fantastic wine selection while you're there as well.

Be sure to subscribe to their mailing list--their menu is seasonal and changes by the week, and their sourcing is sustainable. Dean's emails could be a 101 class on sustainable, seasonal purveying.

Endless mimosas and Sunday brunch! (But ask to get topped off with more champagne... The first one I had was pretty weak)
Tammy GordonJune 5, 2011
Menu is seasonal & locally sourced so changes often. Ask owner Dean Gold what to order for dinner & trust in Andrew Shapiro at the bar...

The three course deal is crazy affordable and they've got a great wine list. Try the lasagnette; it's outstanding!

Meh. ladies room reeks of urine and the garbage can obviously hadn't been emptied in days. Server forgot to place one order. Food took ages to arrive and was very average. Maybe chef off on Sunday?
Liz SesslerJune 26, 2011
The polenta and mushrooms is consistently a table pleaser.
