   Not quite worth all the hype! Limited menu, but food options were very good and well presented. Service, other than the very attentive busboy, was best described as very rough around the edges. Definitely doesn't rate near the top for Italian fine dining.

   The food and service was amazing. I went for bottomless brunch with 10 ppl and the servers were super attentive and even got us 3 extra bottles of champagne. The food was tasty, the ravioli was a slightly smaller portion size but the dessert tiramisu and panna cotta was amazing and made up for it

   The ambience is cozy and approachable and the service was friendly an efficient. The dishes were appropriately sized for lunch and flavorful. The exotic panna cotta is must-have.

   The management of Olio e Piu gave us a complementary meal after a good but less than stellar review for a dinner we had there during Restaurant Week. We took them up on the offer and had lunch there on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was busy (a surprise to us for a downtown DC location) and the vibe was happy. We both had the delicious Farfalla Rossa cocktail. We had the Burrata Mediterraneo and Vitello Tonnato appetizers, Fusilli Cinghiale e Funghi pasta and Bronzino del Marinaio for entrees, and Tiramisu and pear and chocolate desserts. The food was excellent! Our server, Ximena, was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, as was the rest of the staff. Thank you, Hospitality Team of Olio e Piu, for offering us this second chance at your restaurant. It tells us that you care about your patrons and the food and hospitality you provide. That's much appreciated these days.

   Went for Valentines Day and had a very average experience. The food was nothing special, carbonara was very watery and made with a ramen noodle-like texture. The waitstaff was very nonchalant and were gossiping around the restaurant while on their phones throughout the night. Had much higher expectations for this restaurant. Not on my list to come back to.

   My wife and I went for Valentine's dinner. They had a special menu for the day along with their regular menu, with pretty much all the dishes described in Italian. We tried to use Google Translate to understand what the choices were. We asked about one of the specials, and was told it was "beef liver". My wife likes liver, so she ordered that. Turns out it was a beef steak with a goose liver on top of it, and we were not asked how we liked the steak cooked. My wife likes steaks cooked well done, and it was medium by default. She liked the goose liver, she shared the steak with me, but we should have been asked how to cook the steak and that it was goose liver on a beef steak not beef liver. I had lobster ravioli, it was good, but only 4 heart shaped raviolis. I suggest the staff becomes more familiar with details of the specials.

   The ambiance was fun, low light with good younger crowd energy. 50% off bottles of Italian wine was a great value. The bar service was very good. All the food was made well. The wild boar sauce was nice. Nice apps. Overall it works for a nice night out with comfort easy Italian food.
