As an authentic trattoria, its cuisine is based on classic Italian dishes, with a focus on house-made pasta, hand-stretched pizza, and entrees like Branzino and Steak Fiorentina.

The open dining area, traditional wood-fired oven, rustic interior, thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizza, and carefully selected wine and cocktail list bring a piece of old-world Italy to Washington D.C .
