The Italians Kitchen - Washington

Good simple. Paninis are large and pizza crust and sauce is tasty. Their happy hour drink specials are pretty good. I really liked the Italian pizza. There was no wait and service was fair.

In our one week trip to DC we came here two times! The Stromboli and the Prima Pizza+chicken tasted so good. The place is really pretty and the service is great! Also, they had all day happy hour with beers at $3

Excellent tasting pizza. Came during lunch and got excellent service and they were playing great 80s music (bonus)!

PERMANENTLY CLOSED. The pizza from this place was my favorite in the city! The cheese is real, the crust is flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and fresh. The owner is a very nice woman, as is everyone who works there. Their patio is lovely for patio dining.

We had just checked into our hotel and we were looking for a place to grab dinner. Luckily, there are several restaurants in Woodley Park within walking distance of the Omni Shoreham Hotel. We saw this one and decided to give it a try.<br/ <br/ The inside of the dining room was packed full. It's a typical urban restaurant that doesn't lease a big enough space to accommodate their customers. For some reason, city dwellers don't seem to care that they're packed in like sardines at every restaurant they eat at. Myself, I love my personal space. Additionally, the inside of the restaurant was warm and humid. It was an unseasonably hot week in DC anyway, but the second we walked into the restaurant and saw how full it was and how hot and stuffy it was we decided to sit outside. Even though it was a muggy day it was nicer outside than inside. They might want to get their A/C upgraded and replaced or, if it does work, start using it.<br/ <br/ I had the Spaghetti with Meatballs, my wife got the Eggplant Parmesan Panini, and my daughter had a thing crust cheese pizza. The spaghetti was good not great. Their marinara sauce is very heavy on the straight tomato flavor and I prefer mine a little heavier on the herbs. My wife thought her panini was just okay. My daughter's pizza was the real star of the show. It was very tasty with a great crust.<br/ <br/ Service was great. They could have been a bit more attentive, but I think they were a little overwhelmed with customers. Our waitress was extremely nice.
