- CChaveliFort Lauderdale •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe LOVED LOVED this place! You can tell people love eating there. As soon as we walked in, it was extremely booked with people even waiting outside. We were lucky enough to find an open table for that evening. If you do consider eating here PLEASE MAKE RESERVATIONS! The plates are HUGE!! They can feed 2 people and you will still have enough to take home. Our waitress Nadia, was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, attentive, and sweet. We were visiting D.C for the weekend, but I sure wish they had a restaurant down in FL! The 4 cheese pasta was beyond words! So much creaminess, the perfect amount of cheese, and you can tell it was made with love! And the zuppa di mussels (to die for!) such abundance of different flavors coming together! Truly loved this place, will definitely eat here again the day we return. Great job to everyone who works at the restaurant, you can truly tell everyone loves what they do. Chef, youre food is amazing!!!More infoCarmine's - Washington DCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.5

- NNitaWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything was wonderful. It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Our servicer was wonderful and the manager helped my mom who is on a walker to get our of her chair. I felt so good taking my mom here and the food was so clean and tasty. The ingredients was perfect, not too much seasoning and too little just perfect. I will definitely go back again.More infoToscaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9

All the staff, from the host on down, were cordial and helpful, and our server, Adriana was delightful. We look forward to joining you again in the near future.More infoCentrolinaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.7
- JJohnWashington, D.C. Area •16 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 8, 2025The pork bao, anarizushi, and octopus were excellent. The monster pasta was delicious. The pizza crust is thick but very light and very tasty. Great place to eat before an event at Capital One. There were two kids ages 10 and 14 in our party and they enjoyed the food.More infoTonariPrice: Expensive• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.5
