Absolutely delicious food - and that comes from two foodies who lived in Naples, Italy for half a dozen years! \Molto buono\ as they say! We had dined here the other night, as my wife had purchased a groupon for our up-coming anniversary, but then we learned that DC was making drastic changes to dining in, due to covid, so we rushed in. The inside was warm and inviting - tables were set apart and wait staff stayed well away, while wearing masks and gloves the entire time. The focaccia was served in individually wrapped portions, and was tasty, full of texture and a perfect accompaniment to our meal! We both had the scallops and mushroom appetizer, which I thought was delightful, especially as I had never before seen such a pairing. Coupled with just a few pieces of gnocchi to give it some substance, I thought it was perfect. I had the rigatoni for my main dish and it was perfect - if I closed my eye, I could have been in Tuscany! My wife had the veal milanese (a more northern italian dish - akin to german weiner schnitzel) and really enjoyed it, complaining that they had given her too much food! For dessert, I had the house specialty, cheesecake, which was crusted with nuts and very tasty, yet unlike any other cheesecake I've ever had. My wife had the semifreddo and raved about the wonderfully delicate layers of strawberry goodness the entire ride home. I almost forgot to mention, our waiter has worked at THIS SAME restaurant for 14 years. Suffice it to say, he knew the menu and his recommendations were spot-on! ALSO, this was the best (maybe the only?) place that we have been and not treated like second class citizens for using a groupon!! If you like great Italian food - this is your place! We'll certainly be back!!

Phenomenal - every time! The flavors, the pasta, the creativity in the meals - I would eat here every day if I could afford the calories. We joined the Food Club and had a total of 6 meals to include the wine pairing. It's so good and highly recommended. The food is packaged nicely and you'll receive a pamphlet on the background of the food, to include a little story about the chef and her experiences in that particular region of Italy. It's a great way to spend a covid-Friday night.
Great outdoor seating! We were able to get a coupon on a deal site for 2 appetizers and 2 entrees for about half price. The pasta, like the pictured squid ink pasta with house made sausage, was lovely. If you like mushrooms, dont pass up the fungi appetizer.
Great food, fantastic staff. I highly recommend I Ricchi, great place for a date also ;-)
Their food made me feel like I was back in Italy again. Best Italian food in Washington DC. Really recommend if you love Italian food and it was the perfect price. Definitely go during the Cherry Blossom Festival because they have the cherry picks menu which is what I got and it was amazing.
