Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

    We had an amazing experience at Hell’s Kitchen D.C. from the incredibly delicious food, exceptional service, and breathtaking views! Our young adult son, a three time brain tumor survivor, is a Gordan Ramsay super fan. After hearing about his story, the HK Team went above and beyond to make his experience incredibly special and memorable. We were so moved by the staff’s efforts and watching our son, who has been through so much, beam with happiness. We would be remiss without a special shout out to Tonya, who engaged our son in friendly conversation and treated him with kindness, dignity, and respect. We can’t thank you all enough - you are next level professionals and amazing human beings!

    I’m a regular at Jaleo and have been enjoying the food there since they opened years ago. Food remains delish. And they’re always adding new dishes to the menu. Today I tried 4 selections I’ve never had before and they were all wonderful: tuna tartar with trout roe cone, fish soup, fried eggplant with honey and Andalusian cheesecake. Sooooooo good.

    Jônt delivers an unforgettable dining experience with meticulous attention to detail and outstanding customer service. 🌟 Their Valentine’s Day menu was spectacular, filled with lively surprises during the desserts that made the evening truly special. 🍰✨ Every bite was absolutely delicious, and I loved receiving a commemorative menu as a thoughtful keepsake. That said, a couple of things stood out: 🎶 The music choices were… puzzling. Some songs felt completely out of place for such an upscale experience. Not sure what vibe they were aiming for, but it didn’t quite fit the ambiance. 🍽️ The menu size was a struggle. I knew it would be a lot of food, but I was completely full halfway through. I can’t imagine how some guests opt for extra bites—I couldn’t even enjoy dessert properly. A shorter menu option would be a fantastic addition. Honestly, if the menu remains this extensive, I wouldn’t return despite how amazing the food was. It’s just too much, even for a tasting experience. But if you’re ready for an epic culinary journey and can handle the volume, Jônt is truly top-tier. 🥂
