I entered feeling under dress based on the ambiance , but as we got in we saw that it was mix vibes & crowd. We stoped in before going to the concert so only got drinks from happy hour & dessert. Everyone got a different item I highly recommend the pumpkin cheesecake. The prices weren’t to bad same average for DC & the area. I also tried this delicious ice cream cake which they light on fire table side. It was sooo good.

Michael was EVERYTHING. Ask for him. We could have listened to him speak about the menu all evening. Like dinner and a show, he's that epic of a server! Food was second only to his service, everything was a hit. We had a family party of 8 here and it was spectacular. Cocktails were fantastic. Try the veal special, squid ink pasta, and you must get the pistachio gelato!!! The private room is truly private for parties with young children.

So yummy! The service is a bit slow, but the atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious! I definitely want to come back. Two minor complaints: would have preferred to not have the fried lemon in the frito misto - I was expecting calamari and it was a lemon, lol. And the Cesar, I wish they asked before peppering it. But other than that, amazing,

I had half cut filet and mashed potato, beef was very very nice, cheesecake was kinda eh but pistachio ice cream was soooo good as well. Highly recommended!

Sam was our waitress and she was amazing. From start to finish she noticed all the small details to enhance our experience. We never had to ask for a refill or wait to have our plates cleared. I highly recommend RPM and ask for Sam!

Best Italian experience you can have in Washington! We are amazed by RPM, best Italian food you can have here and best service ever. From the beginning, Kat was amazing! She is so kind and so professional, she speak even a perfect Italian so if you want some explanation about the food she will very happy to help you. About the food, we tried different plates and everyone was absolutely perfect! I really suggest you to try the truffle pizza and the ribeye, FENOMENAL. The pasta is also fresh made and perfectly cooked and you can also feel the freshness of the ingredients! RPM is one of the place where you have to stop if you visit Washington or if you live here, you for sure will come back again!

We went during restaurant week and absolutely loved this place. This is lovely Italian, not Italian American. The wine list is extensive with massive range of prices. We sat outside and it was perfect. inside is cool and has a good vibe. We will definitely go back.

My wife and I went here for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were treated like royalty. The vibes were incredible. The staff were true professionals, we were more than taken care of during our time spent here. Food was delicious and portions were plentiful - neither of us left hungry. But leave space for dessert - the flaming ice cream cake was outstanding. Cocktails were extraordinary - definitely get an espresso martini (or 2). Can’t recommend enough, our time at RPM was a night to remember.

Server was on point and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. I went here to eat dinner with my family for my graduation dinner and it was delicious. The only complain was the pasta was a tad bit under. Other than that all dishes were excellent. Potato puree, side of mushrooms, and ceaser salad were amazing. The dessert was easily my favorite part. I was treated to a Bomboloni as the server was attentive knowing I graduated. Again this was top service. Lastly, the Salted Caramel Meringata was one of the best desserts I’ve had and it looked similar to the famous Baked Alaskan dessert in terms of presentation. Highly recommend.

RPM Italian deserves five stars across the board — from the atmosphere and ambiance to the outstanding customer service, attentive wait staff, and exceptional food. Our large party was treated to more than just a meal; we were given a true dining experience. Our waitress was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also shared interesting insights into Italian customs, which added a special touch to our evening. The food was excellent — flavorful, well-balanced in texture, and offered a great variety from appetizers to main courses. One suggestion for improvement: it would be helpful if the host staff inquired about food allergies upon seating. I only discovered the availability of a gluten-free menu after the appetizers had already been served and had to request it myself. Despite that minor hiccup, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we’re in the DC area. Highly recommend!

From the cozy lighting to the soft Italian music, RPM feels like the perfect spot for a romantic meal. But what really blew me away was the service—super friendly, attentive, and smooth from start to finish. The food came out at just the right pace, and as soon as I finished a dish, my plate was whisked away like magic. And the food? Incredible—fresh pasta, perfectly cooked steak, and the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Everything felt effortless and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a special place to enjoy amazing Italian food, this is it!

I took my mom and grandmother to RPM for Mother’s Day, and overall the experience was very good. The atmosphere is upscale and well suited for special occasions. The food was flavorful, well presented, and met expectations for a celebratory meal. There was an issue with our receipt that was not handled smoothly at first. Our waitress made an error, and the initial interaction regarding the correction could have been more professional. However, once the manager became involved, the matter was addressed promptly and resolved appropriately. While the service misstep was disappointing — especially during a holiday celebration — management handled the recovery well. With more consistent front-line execution, this would have easily been a five-star experience.

Food was amazing!! Great gluten free options. We lost our waiter a few times throughout dinner, but the rest of the staff was very helpful when we needed something.

Jeffrey Bowles

It was very good. My meal was good, I had the bolognese. Portions were on the smaller side. Desserts were also very tasty. I really enjoyed the carrot cake. But just like many upper end restaurants, I don't think it was quite worth the cost - judgement call, of course. There was valet parking.

Jordan Hammond

Great food but somewhat small portions. Appetizers we got were whipped ricotta (so good), artichoke (really unique and yummy) and the Italian salad, which had a slight kick. All were great for four of us to share! Short rib Pasta, spicy crab and prosciutto tortellini were all delicious! The drinks and service for wine options were amazing. Someone saw us trying to decide and came right over and offered us a taste and with that we decided on two bottles - white and red. Great experience overall.

Thought the food was pricier than the taste to back it up. The squid ink pasta just tasted like normal pasta, just with black dye and the seafood risotto just tasted like rice with a prawn on it. Didn't get desiccant flavors like I thought I would. Drinks were solid, cheesecake was great, and service was great as well. I would come back because of the potential.

We had a birthday dinner here for a group of 12, and it was super easy to coordinate. We were seated in the bar area, which was lively. The overall vibe is really nice—definitely a good spot for a date night, girls’ night out, or even a group celebration. As for the food... it was just okay. Nothing really stood out as amazing, but nothing was bad either. It feels like one of those places that’s more about the atmosphere than the food itself.
