We went here because it was close enough to where we're staying and had good reviews. It truly didn't disappoint. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. The olive oil for the bread was perfect and tasty. The spicy sauce with the aricini had a bit of heat but not enough to deter anyone but still plenty of flavor. The Berry the Mule drink is one of the best cocktails I've had. If you like gin and a bit of tart, you need it in your life. I stuck with a favorite of fettuccine Alfredo and it didn't disappoint. It was flavorful and rich without being overwhelming. My companion got the Rosemarino and it was cooked perfectly. Again, the sauce was perfect. The texture of the pasta was great, bite and chew without being under or over cooked. We would definitely recommend and would go back if in the area.

I ordered the Nostra carbonara for take out and added sausage to it. I was very happy with my order as it was delicious!! I would say the portion of sausage didn’t seem worth the cost of the add-on, as not much was included (as you can see in the picture), but it was tasty, and I was glad to have it. The Caesar salad wasn’t anything special, and was a bit smaller than I expected, but as I was traveling for work, I appreciated the greens! I’d order from here again!

Service was slow in the beginning ..the veal was tough in the veal Parmesan. No oil dipping plate for the bread .wrong dishes .. though must say we asked substitutions , ie no marinara,

There are great restaurants on every block and street corner in the Washington DC area. Some are better than others, but I was pleased to be able to get a reservation on Saturday night at this intimate little spot north of Dupont Circle. We were sat right away and greeted by our very kind and courteous server. We were surprised at what we would consider low prices for being in DC, and also considering the pasta was made in-house. The chicken, marsala and pasta carbonara came out within 10 minutes, and was very fresh, colorful, a sizable portion, and absolutely delicious. We even ordered some of their garlic bread which worked out well in cleaning the sauce off our plates. We enjoyed our food, and were out within an hour. Thank you for the fine service and food.

Spent the weekend in the neighborhood and stumbled upon Rosemarino for a Friday night dinner. The place was packed and we didn’t have reservations so we sat at the bar, which was perfect. I had the Berry the Mule drink which was delicious. We ate chicken piccata and some of the most delicious Alfredo ever (added calamari—excellent combo!). Ended with their fabulous tiramisu.
