Filomena Ristorante Washington Reviews
Outstanding
Out of all the places in the world to eat, Filomenaโs is hands down my favorite. The experience is wonderful from beginning to end. I highly recommend this establishment.
Honestly this place is very overrated.
I made reservations for my birthday to go with a group of friends. We all ordered something different and were able to try each other dish. The food wasn't that impressive. It lacked flavor and I believe that there are other better tasting Itali
Amazing amazing place!! The staff are so sweet.
Our waiter helped us navigate the menu, and weight out options!! Also the atmosphere is awesome! During Halloween they have their decorations up and it's so much fun! Absolutely love coming to this restaurant. Their food is so fresh, flavorful a
Food is good.
Loved the bread basket, arroncini, and our chicken entrees. Portions are very big. Decor and ambiance are super fun. Dessert wines at the end were a nice touch. Service was a little unfriendly thus deducting a star. I would return.
My partner and I were in D.
C. for the first time and wanted to try some of the city's best food, and heard great things about Filomena. We showed up slightly under-dressed compared to the rest of the crowd because we had been doing some tourist things prior, but we didn
Don't fall in this Tourist Trap!
Filomena may have a long-standing reputation, but my experience was nothing short of disappointing. The atmosphere felt more theatrical than authentic, complete with a โpaid Nonniโ rolling ravioli in the window โ more spectacle than substance.
The ambiance here is quirky.
Feels very upscale, with Halloween type vibes. The service was impeccable. My only complaint is the prices. I ordered one dish- gluten free pasta with marinara, sausage, peppers and onion. It was $56. It was delicious- and just as good as a neighborh

Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a shot because of the high reviews. Solid place to get your italian fix but nothing stood out. They had a person in the front, next to the main entrance making fresh pasta which was pretty cool. Por

The food is amazing-large portions and so delicious!! Unique ambiance-always quite lively. This is a long time favorite that we've been going to for over 25 years. Never disappoints.
Good atmosphere.
Really enjoyed the food I had. The shrimp and lobster pizza was great as well as the lasagna I had the time before. Service was great and had a large party that enjoyed it as well. Not sure if there's an elevator or 2nd entrance but be prepared
Don't miss this restaurant!
The best Italian restaurant I have ever experienced! The servings are large enough to share. The service is excellent. The venue is beautiful, waiters top-notch, and seating hosts/hostesses top-notch.
Experienced Filomena a few times but won't return.
We've eaten at Filomena a couple of times in the past and this experience was just ok. Even though it was a Thursday night, no Italian ladies were making tortellini in the window. The cesear salad was good and HUGE. On the other hand, the rav
Good for family dinner
Lobster linguini and mushroom tortellini were our favorites. Portions are huge; enough for two meals. Loud and packed on the night we went. They were able to accommodate our schedule change for an earlier seating.
Good but touristy
Food was good and the staff were friendly, but I think this place may be a little over hyped. I got the La Famiglia and it was good, but after hearing about this place for years, I expected better. I also tried the calamari and the strawberry pistach
Meh
It was ok. Not the amazing experience everyone claims, especially for the price. Itโs downstairs off the street and there is no way for anyone who is differently - abled to actually get to the restaurant. The highlights of the meal were the bread
Not italian, not fun
Maybe the noisiest restaurant iโve ever been in (you hardly hear the waiter when ordering) and the food is nothing spรฉcial. They failed the lasagne test (iorder the lasagnes, if theyโre not good, it is not really an italian restaurant.) Consider
Great food and family friendly
Filomena Ristorante has been a DC landmark since 1983, known for its cozy oldโworld dรฉcor, from vintage pastaโmaking windows to holiday displays that feel like Grandmaโs houseโon steroids ๏ฟผ. Upon arrival youโre greeted by a โPasta Ma

I had my birthday dinner here this past weekend and it was some of the best, most authentic Italian food I've had in a restaurant. The portions are enormous to begin with; I had enough food for two days. It was well seasoned and cooked to perfection.

We have been coming here for over 12 years and always love everything we order. My favorite dish is the Linguini Cardinale (with capellini). I could eat this meal everyday. The veal parm is also amazing, as well as the Sunday sauce and cannelloni. Se

The location makes the experience truly special.
Lovely Italian spot-best in DC!
I went with a group of friends on a weekday around 3pm. Even at that time, the restaurant had a good amount of people in it. I would recommend making a reservation if you would like to go on the weekends or evenings. The complementary bread was absol

...The service is so amazing it's spooky... The place was jammed packed on a hot Saturday afternoon. Hostess and waiters were extremely nice and efficient. I was afraid due to sometimes, when you go to packed places the quality of food and portion si
Must eat in DC
The most charming atmosphere - and best American-Italian comfort food. Crazily generous servings. The lobster ravioli had so much fresh lobster in huge chunks in that it must have taken almost a whole lobster. Great for big kids. Do not miss out on t

We visited for my daughter's birthday and it was great! Plentiful portions and professional service. Had a hiccup being seated, but everything else was great!
This place was so cool to come too.
It seems like it was located in a very popular area with a lot of small shops/restaurants. There is some street parking but also a parking garage across the street which is where we parked. It was very convenient. Make sure you make reservations wee

Filomena
This place was great! I got the veal ravioli, and my friend got the pesto pasta. Drinks were great and the atmosphere was wonderful.
Excellent Homemade Italian Food
This family owned Italian restaurant has been around for almost 40 years. It is in the heart of Georgetown next to the old canal. You will see La Nona, through the sidewalk window, filling pasta with different types of fillings. The atmosphere is

Great pasta and sauces. Homemade sausage was delicious. Same for the freshly made pasta. I had the vodka pasta sauceโฆ. wished I could have purchased some - but we had two more days in DC before traveling home. Hubby had the carbonara it was also d
Best Italian Ever!
This is the Italian restaurant dreams are made of! Huge menu with lots of homemade pasta, seafood and traditional Italian options. Portions are huge, so consider sharing! Definitely leave room for desserts!

This was probably the worst restaurant experience I've had in 5 years living in DC. Hardly know where to start... It is absolutely cacophonous so impossible to have a conversation with your fellow diners, even hunched over the table. Our waiter was r
AMAZING
Make reservations in advance you normally can't just walk in and get a table. The food was amazing and well worth every penny. There is a parking garage across the street 1 block up. The staff is very friendly. We will be back next time we are in tow
Our favorite DC restaurant!
Always the best ! We love this place!!! The canolli for dessert is amazing. Wonderful service. Plus- The seasonal decor is always tons of fun, too!

This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend who lived in the area. It was Thursday afternoon around lunch time. About four or five other customers in the restaurant. I immediately noticed how dark it was in the place and the pink lighting.

A DC staple!! A must visit restaurant around literally any holiday because they decorate the heck out of their dining room! The portions are HUGE as is the menu, you really cannot go wrong with a choice here. Definitely get a dessert - the cakes and
Amazing food and service for years! Love it.
We celebrate special occasions here often. Go hungry!
The sausage cannelloni was very mid.
Stick to their more popular options! Ravioli is solid, and the gnocchi bolognese is above average. Overall kinda overpriced, more quantity than quality, but it's a reliable option most people can find something they like at.
Food was amazing!! Service was on point.
Everyone was so nice and we didn't have to wait long for drinks or food. The desserts were to die for. Will absolutely be back!
It's a reputable place.
We had a family meal, but it's Lent, so no alcohol. Three entrees and water ended up being $180. You'll hear about the portions- they just didn't impress me. And it was very loud- hard to have a conversation. If you want pasta- enjoy. Don't expec
Connect with users posting reservations for Filomena Ristorante Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Filomena Ristorante Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Filomena Ristorante Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Filomena Ristorante Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Filomena Ristorante Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Filomena Ristorante Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
