Testimonials

OLD SCHOOL!!! I’ve never been to a restaurant that made me feel more at home, or like I was having dinner at Grandma’s house for a fancy holiday dinner. Everything I had was phenomenal and so was the service. It’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere close to this where the customer is truly treated like family. Everything from the atmosphere right when you walk in, to the homemade pasta and complimentary sambuca and amaretto truly sets this place apart from any other restaurant. If you are in the area, you need to give this place a try!

Had some family members tell me about this place and it lived up to its expectation. Awesome service and even better food. Big portions so come hungry. You won’t be disappointed.

The second you walk into Filomena, you can smell how good the food is. The bread, rigatoni, and strawberry cheesecake were absolutely delicious. The food is definitely worth the cost; I want to go back and try everything on the menu.

– Melanie Martinez

Filomena is more than a restaurant – it’s a full-service adventure. The staff is incredible, the food is excellent, and it’s best just to make yourself comfortable and experience all they have to offer. One of my favorite special places in DC.

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in the US. We were warmly greeted and seated within a minute. The interior made me feel that I am in a five-star Italian restaurant. Our server Fabiano was fantastic, he was polite, gave amazing recommendations and was very attentive to our table. He deserves to be recognized for his efforts. He made us feel like a million dollars. Now let’s talk about the food…we started our meal with calamari, followed with the famous gnocchi and pasta and to end our meal we tried their strawberry cheesecake. When you visit Washington D.C. on business or on leisure this place is a must visit. Prices are great and portions are big, we had enough food for dinner the following day.

The portions here are enormous! The service here was fantastic and the food was the best Italian I’ve ever had. If you are in the area I would 100% recommend this place. It is worth every bit of the price!

– Matt Holthe

Hands down the best Italian food I’ve had. Took a group of 11 there the other day and every person raved about their meal. Try the cannoli for dessert – amazing.

– Cerise Clarke

Whenever we are here in town, this place is a must. Being Italian myself I don’t usually like eating Italian meals out but this place is so good. The service has always been stellar too. If you want outstanding classic Italian dishes, come here — you won’t be disappointed.

– Sue Utter

IMHO, the best restaurant in DC! Impeccable service and the freshest, most delicious pasta dishes you’ll ever have. And, a complimentary offering of Sambuca and Amaretto after dinner. You’ll need reservations, but this place is SO worth it. I loved it!!!

– Robert Nielsen

Outstanding is the best word to describe the food, service and atmosphere. Never a bad meal. Oysters are the best I’ve had. Cheese ravioli with shrimp and scallops in the famous pink sauce is to die for!

– Sherrie L Miller

Absolutely delightful. If there was an option for 6 stars I would give it. Top notch food and service. Best Italian in DC

Filomena’s is a staple of Georgetown and a great Italian restaurant to visit when in DC. It’s always busy and reservations are recommended. Food and service get 5 stars! Great spot for large groups!

– Bill Flagg

My favorite in DC, so many great memories with friends here. The food never disappoints and neither does the service. Everything is homemade and so good. Portions are huge, desserts are wonderful if you have any room left to enjoy them.

– Linda Larkin

OMG…I’ve decided that this is my FAVORITE Italian in the country! The Gnocchi are like little pillows of LOVE! All the sauces are decadently delicious…but the Sunday Sauce is AMAZING!

– John Frels

Fantastic food if you like authentic Italian. Service is nice also. I would give them 6 stars if I could. The atmosphere deserves a solid 6 as well.
