- CColletteVIPWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoHaving been to Italy recently, I found the food to be "authentically Italian" -- not overly seasoned but very flavorful. Portions were perfect -- not too large. Pasta was al dente, which is not common here in the U.S. Will definitely go back.More infoVia Sophia Washington DCPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.3
- TTimothyVIPOrlando / Central Florida East •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat the heck. This place was quite the surprise. It blew us away. The food was surprisingly good. We ordered several different times, and each time the food came out fresh, hot, quickly, and looked like an artist put it together. The jumbo shrimp with cilantro goodness was amazing. Calamari better than it should have been. The service was amazing. The prices? Way too low. Happy hour prices are ridiculous. I mean so ridiculously low. I think maybe they just love people. I’m not sure. I’d make this my go to spot if I lived here.More infoThe Park at 14thPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
