    The best dish to order is definitely the Port-braised Lamb Ragu with tagliatelle, arbequina olives, tomatoes, & parmigiano reggiano. You won't be disappointed!

    The Grilled Spanish Octopus has a great charred flavor and it's served with cannellini beans, red onion, & pimenton de la vera.

    So many great things to say about Maple! Food is out of this world, cocktails and wine selections are fab. Sign up for a wine class and have fun while learning something. The owners are fantastic!

    The Bitches Say: A-. Maple offers delicious cuisine in a charming little Italian spot, but we’d love a bottomless option! Winner of the Best New Brunch Trend and Best Brunch Cocktail awards of 2013!

    Best Pasta in Columbia Heights! A bit pricey for the area, but has a great wine selection. Be sure to check out brunch too

    Lamb ragu is awesome. Short rib panini is just as good. Vanilla Gelato is the best I've ever had.

    $4 wines all night on Monday's. Opens at 5:30. Its my first time here, will try the bruschetta. Roasted garlic, arugula and olive oil sounds delish!

    The name is entirely misleading. I ordered spaghetti, eggs Benedict, and a side of Fresca, and none of it came smothered in maple syrup. Excellent brunch specials though.

    Enjoyed a nice dinner for 2. Quiet atmosphere, nice service. Try a bruschetta (pick two and share). Solid wines by the glass.

    Great brunch option when the wait at the Coupe is too long. Good atmosphere, good food, super friendly service.

    Maple is excellent. Modern Italian food in a small, relaxed / classy space. Lamb ragu is a go-to dish.

    The linguine puttanesca is a bit on the heavy side. But the mozzarella and pesto panini is a Badabing.

    I ordered the brunch special prosciutto hash with fried eggs. It took forever for my food to come out and when it did it was cold. Bread was great but overall not impressed.
