bistro italiano

delicious!!!

we ate here on our last night in dc and it was our best meal during the whole week. good food, great service. our party of 4 each had a different entree and we all cleaned our plates. two of us also had salads, one cesar and one house. the salads hit the spot as well. we had tiramisu and the chocolate moose cake for dessert. divine. this is a smallplaceso it may not be able to accommodate large parties but i would recommend thisplaceto anyone and everyone. just wonderful.

good food good place. food was great. good homemade italian. theplacewas recently renovated and looked very pleasant. staff was attentive. great experience.

we found this greatplaceon our last night in washington dc. it has a great atmosphere, the food is fabulous, reasonable prices and the service was fantastic as well! wish we would have found it sooner on our vacation! we would have gone there every night! will definitely eat there again if we come back to dc!

after a long day of tours. finished all day tours around capital and library of congress and we were exhausted with kids. found thisplaceon urbanspoon blocks from capital and found the food to be great and even more the full carafe of wine. also no issues with kids very laid back atmosphere.

great location. small littleplacea few blocks walk from union station. they made some fun good to eat pasta. another great urbanspoon find.

excellent italian. my wife and i ate here last night. we had the spaghetti and meatballs and the lasagna and just loved it. it's a small, romanticplacethat is family owned. they make their own sauce and it's just awesome. enjoy !!!

best food within walking distance of senate. bistro italiano is a hidden gem on capitol hill. located in a rowhouse behind schneider's liquor store, this restaurant has the complete mom and pop feel. they probably only have 30-40 seats in the wholeplaceso plan to come early.

the food is excellent. they have authentic pastas for ($6-12) from linguini to tortelli. their pizzas are also high quality and cheap ($12+). bistro even has an expansive kids menu. i've only had their table wine, but i thought it was very good, especially for the price.

at lunchtime, this restaurant is often packed with senate staffers and other dc types from federal agencies who want a sit-down meal. because of it's popularity, seating can be a problem between the hours of 11:30 and 1:30 on weekdays. it's almost always worth the wait. at dinner, i've been able to walk in and get a table without a problem.

enjoy some authentic italian food here. for the price, it simply cannot be beat.
