The experience here was phenomenal. The hospitality was excellent and the food was even more divine. Best pasta I’ve ever put in my mouth, and the price was very reasonable and comparable to a lot of other places. I would HIGHLY recommend!

Everything was superb. Greeted immediately, and received great recommendations. Order fried calamari and zucchini which was perfectly fried, along with clams that were in a delicious sauce. The table ordered a shrimp and scallop dish, chicken piccata, and a kids pasta and meatball. I would post pictures but everything was devoured. We finish the evening with their pistachio cake which so good had to take a piece home. If you’re looking for great eating make sure to pay them a visit.

This place was great! I got the pesto pasta, and it was amazing! The flavor of the pesto with the pasta and chicken tasted delicious! The server was super nice and very friendly! And the atmosphere was great. Trust me, the photos do not capture the greatness of this food.

Pines of Florence was worth the walk! Visiting for a few days and was craving Italian and this place was top notch! Ordered the Tortellini A La Panna and ate every last bite. Desert was delicious as well :) Server was incredible and so nice! Would recommend 12/10!

My husband and I went in tonight out of curiosity since we are vacation. I really wanted Italian food, and everywhere else was loud, busy, or didn’t have availability for us. Thank goodness we missed out because let me tell you this place did NOT disappoint. The staff was SO friendly and recommended the white beans for the appetizer, it was simply amazing. I had the chicken fettuccine alfredo and it was so buttery and delicious. 10/10 would come back here again with my husband. It was quiet, clean, and overall a cute little place to dine into. My husband and I already said when we are back in DC we would definitely make our way back to this restaurant. I would highly suggest coming here!!

very cozy place to enjoy tasty food in a great family environment. Definitely a place to go if you are in the area craving for Italian flavors. I’d add more pictures but was too good to wait for digging in.

I was craving Italian for days and this place did more than hit the spot. My husband and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary and this place was absolutely superb. From the delicious pasta to the incredible service, we were so impressed. The best place we have eaten in Washington DC by far. Shaw and Haamad were extremely friendly and provided phenomenal and timely service. The pesto linguini and Florence linguini were our favorites. we will definitely be back and will recommend this to anyone we know visiting.

This quaint restaurant was the perfect end to the day. The spinach ravioli was so good, I scraped the bowl with the toasted bread. And the cannoli....holy cow, it was amazing. If you haven’t been there yet, add it to your list. You won’t be disappointed.
