Absolutely amazing food. Every review mentioned the duck hunt and lasagna and boy did they not disappoint. I'd honestly say the best thing we ordered was the duck hunt. The papardelle was deliciously spicy and flavorful while the lasagna was heavy, rich, and decadent. The chicken was honestly fine and the 1 thing I could do without. The focaccia was also delicious and helped sop up the rest of the duck hunt sauce. It was extremely expensive but I'd say it was totally worth it. Was around $350 for 4 people.

An absolutely incredible experience. I joined two colleagues for dinner here, and we opted to try and share multiple dishes. The food is phenomenal across the board, and the drinks were also delicious. Service was excellent and our server helped us select numerous dishes. The sommelier helped us select the perfect wine to go with our meal. Highly recommend for a delicious meal in DC!

Our lunch and desserts were PHENOMENAL. The drinks were very strong through. I was a tad disappointed since I had to wait because the slush wasn’t ready. Our service overall was excellent and the pasta reminded me of my trip to Florence, Italy over 15 years ago. The pesto and spaghetti were incredibly fresh and flavorful.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at L’Ardente with my girlfriend, and it was a wonderful experience. We were able to sit at the Chef’s counter, which provided a nice glimpse into the culinary artistry and preparation of our meals. We started with cocktails, choosing the Fig Cobbler and the Arania Rossa Margarita. Both were delicious, perfectly complementing the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. For my main course, I indulged in their renowned 40 layer lasagna. Each layer was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The ambiance at L’Ardente is wonderful, with a balance between chic and cozy, making it an ideal spot for a memorable dining experience. The service was also outstanding—timely, attentive, and genuinely warm, enhancing our overall enjoyment. I look forward to returning for their brunch and exploring more of what L’Ardente has to offer. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in the area.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. We sat at the bar since we could did not have a reservation but the bartender did a great job at filling us in on the menu. We ordered an artichoke appetizer, Caesar salad, 40 layer lasagna, and a rigatoni lobster pasta (those weren’t the exact names of the dishes but general ideas). Everything was great and well portioned. Loved the experience here and I am still thinking about the amazing food.
