Lavagna Washington Dc

Unfortunately we may have just gone on an off night, but my wife and I did not enjoy our meals tonight. I got the bison short rib and my wife got the lamb ragu and the food just didn’t taste fresh, and the flavors weren’t there. It was as if our meals got a quick microwave and then served to us. We were excited to go because of the great reviews, but the meal itself wasn’t to the standard we were expecting. The ambiance in the place was nice overall, but we won’t be going back.

To Grant the manager. There was no need to speak to me and my partner the way you did and i can only speculate as to why you thought we were deserving of such vitriol. We booked a reservation online and turns out when we arrived the online booincorrect and reserved a timed they weren’t open. Totally understandable. Things happen. We would have left. But Grant decided to berate, belittle, and condescend to me: telling me he already told me this (this is my first time here), assuming my name (he may have had this issue with someone before), and speak to me like a child that didn’t listen to instruction. It was just unnecessary. It was an online booking issue with the platform the restaurant utilizes but I was dressed down by this grown man to the point of near tears. I didn’t deserve that. No one deserves that. He needs anger management or something because a booking error should not result in you raising your voice. When we walked out a man passing by asked if everything was okay cause even he was concerned with how Grant spoke to me.

Chandler was wonderful. He checked in often without being overwhelming and made sure that we wanted for nothing. The portions are generous and definitely don't miss the ravioli!

LOVE this place! Really great, tasty, well-made Italian classics in a homey neighborhood atmosphere with extremely friendly service. If you’re looking for an Italian dinner in the area with reasonable prices, this is a perfect option.

Food good.we were early and not busy. Like table in the back.we had lobster bisque, Spaghetti carbonara and Rigatoni Italian sausage were excellent.
