Great Italian restaurant in the heart of DC. Service and atmosphere was great - it's a smaller, intimate place perfect for a date night or gathering with some close friends. Food was all impeccable, from the focaccia to the salad, to the entree, to the dessert. Waiter was fantastic and even scraped the table crumbs in between servings.
Note that this is not an inexpensive restaurant by any means so he prepared for that menu shock! Probably not something you could do every week, but maybe every once and a while for a special occasion.

We were here for a special event the White Dinner. A really fun yearly affair. Great selection of appetizers, white pizza, meatballs, mortadella. Main course was served family style. Delicious pasta, pork ribs, fried chicken, oven potatoes, coleslaw. And then dessert. Considering it was probably over 100 people the service was good.

The waiter was the nicest guy. What we ordered was so great. The scallops, mushrooms, and gnocchi appetizer was phenomenal. My filet was cooked to perfection, and my wifey's pasta was scrumptious. We felt like the most important diner's in the place. Candle lit table in the corner was romantic. We had been here years ago, on our last trip to D.C., and we are so glad we went again. Probably too much provided, and too posh of a place, for the Groupon price. Don't tell them.

First had reservation at 7:30 was not seated until 8 with very empty restaurant. The place was not busy at all. Our server didn’t know any of the details about our meal. We didn’t get the full presentation and didn’t know any of the dishes. Also half way through our meal a group of people sat down next to us with a dog that was not a service animal. I am highly allergic to dogs so the remainder of my dinner I was miserable. My friend was served the wrong dish and was made to feel bad about sending it back because the incorrect dish they gave her had shellfish in it that she is highly allergic too. Once we did receive our food it was great but the service and management was not the expectation I was expecting.

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Miss Ricchi came to our table to welcome us into her culinary home and what a joy it was. We was on “Daddy Daughter Date Night” and not one person disappointed. In a town and area that is filled with “stuffy suits,” i Ricchi read their customer. The food was outstanding; authentic Italian. My 2.5 year old interacted with the staff, but more importantly finished her entire adult size pasta and dessert. Highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven’t been. We will definitely be back!
