From the moment I walked in, I felt warmly welcomed and happy in such an elegant environment. We did the 9-course tasting menu and we were so full. Now I want to fly to Sicily. The most creative dishes Ive tried in DC. The chef played with different food and flavors. My favorite one is the duck ravioli. The desserts are exquisitely delicious and pretty. An unforgettable experience.
I had an incredible time at Fiola DC last night for date night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with an elegant and refined ambiance. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff made sure every detail of our experience was perfect. The food was truly outstanding. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The seasonal ingredients were fresh and expertly prepared, showcasing the creativity and skill of the kitchen. The pasta was a standout, perfectly cooked and balanced in flavor. Overall, Fiola DC exceeded my expectations, making for a memorable and delightful evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience in the city.
Excellent food and service. We did the five course dinner and it was fun. The presentation was fun and felt like an experience. The food was very high quality. Service was A++. 10/10.
It was a beautiful evening with delicious food. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and we either liked or loved every course. The decadent duck main was a particular standout for me, which they customized to my cheese preferences, and the touch of picking out my own knife was clever. Having the delicious bites at the bar with a drink before dinner began was also a fun and unique way to be welcomed! Our server was warm and well-informed yet professional - the service and atmosphere were classy without feeling stuffy. There was not a sommelier informing us of the wines (at least not introduced as such), but our server was knowledgeable and it did not detract from our experience. We would absolutely return and recommend to others!
