MIA'S ITALIAN KITCHEN REVIEWS
Very good Italian restaurant in the heart of Old Town. You can tell the food is made in house and is very enjoyable, especially the tiramisu. The staff is hard working and willing to give you their recommendations which definitely helped steer us in the right direction. While the space is well done and it’s somewhat cramped. Overall, we would recommend.
The atmosphere is lovely. The food was amazing. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it. I highly recommend the pizza! The prices are what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant. Street parking can be hard to find but there are plenty of parking garages nearby.
Very good Italian and good service, got the Sundays Nonna’s gravy, meatball Benedict for an appetizer which were both good. Wife got the fig and prosciutto pizza which she also loved. If my Nonna’s house for Sunday dinner is 5 stars this is a close 4+.

OSTERIA MARZANO REVIEWS
Easily the BEST Italian restaurant in the Washington Metro area. Not only is the food excellent, but the ambiance and the service make for an exceptionally classy experience with a family vibe. From Chef Carmine making his rounds with all the guests, to all the servers, hosts and bartenders greeting you with the biggest smiles, this is the place to be from happy hour, to date night, to private events, I’ve been lucky enough to experience them all at this amazing place. 10/10 highly recommend.
We enjoyed this restaurant a few weeks ago. We were surprised of the location and why we never knew it was there. Plenty of free parking available in the nearby garage. We made reservations and specifically went for The Cheese Wheel Experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, light but hearty. It’s the ingredients! When the ingredients are simple, the taste follows effortlessly. I surprisingly enjoyed the Ricotta Cheesecake. It’s not very sweet and the texture slightly crumbled in my mouth.
Best dinner we have had in a while! Service was great, food was incredible. We are already planning our next trip. Pictured- calamari, mussels (happy hour menu) tuna and butternut squash soup.

IL PORTO RISTORANTE REVIEWS
My husband and I made a reservation this Friday evening & had a lovely dinner! Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. Our server Jesus was attentive, and his knowledge of the menu was impressive. He made excellent recommendations, enhancing our dining experience even further. We will definitely be back for our next date night.
Delicious food and fantastic service. The hardest thing about eating here is finding parking because it’s in a touristy area. But if you can find parking, go. The setting is slightly upscale with very relaxing music, and very attentive staff. We started off with bruschetta which was delicious, and had pollo siciliano and saltimbucca alla Romano. Everything was so good.
Nice, touristy place, and a good venue to people-watch. Food was good, and portions were ample. Price was a little steep, bit given the location, expected.
