- SsherryVIPWashington, D.C. Area •133 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoOlio e Piu is hot, both in atmosphere and food. The vibe is exciting and the food is outstanding. I love spaghetti carbonara, but most places make it gooey and thick. The carbonara at Olio e Piu was terrific -- from the al dente pasta to the brilliant idea of topping it with an egg yolk to mix in yourself. Cooked by the hot spaghetti, the egg yolk made the pasta sauce outstanding. The Fritto Primavera appetizer was a wonderful, gently fried riff on the usual Fritto Misto. The calamari was particularly good, as was the fried shrimp. But by far the very best thing on my table was the incredible Limoncello sorbet topped with Limoncello. I adore lemon sorbet and this was the best I've had since my first taste at the cafe at the Louvre. I was impressed and well fed -- and I'm looking forward to going back soon.More infoOlio e Più - DCPrice: Expensive• Italian• Washington•4.3

- GgregBaltimore / Maryland •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe food and service is excellent including the front desk. The "tables for two" are nicely arranged, but larger groups are accomodated as well. The food was still hot when we received it which is great especially for fish dishes. Our server was very attentive and helpful with our requests. Try the Sea Bass!!More infoLIA'SPrice: Moderate• Italian• Chevy Chase•4.6
- PPatrickVIPWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoClaudio's Table is an Italian restaurant in the Palisades neighborhood of Washington, DC at 5441 MacArthur Blvd. It is owned by the fantastic Chef Claudio Pirollo, who also owns the French-Belgian bistro Et Voila. Claudio's Table serves great Italian cuisine, including pasta, meat, fish and pizza. I have eaten almost everything on the menu and love it all. The restaurant also has a great wine list and cocktails. Claudio's is known for its lively and cozy atmosphere. It is a very popular spot for lunch and dinner. We like sitting at the bar where you get to talk with patrons from the neighborhood and get fantastic service. Additionally at the bar, you can catch a glimpse of Chefs Claudio and Stephane preparing exquisite dishes. The staff provides excellent service with charm. The food is delicious! Claudio's is a neighborhood gem! PatrickMore infoClaudio's TablePrice: Moderate• Italian• Palisades Northwest•4.7
