We were in from out of town, just were looking for a place close to the metro that had reservations available. Stumbled upon Mazaro and were not disappointed at all! Amazing service and outstanding food! Was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. Also was a really neat area of town! Would absolutely come back next time I’m back in the d.c. area

Server was spot on with his recommendations, asked us if we were going to the show and made sure we left on time! Food was delicious! Noise level perfect, we could easily talk to our friends without raising our voice!

This is our 2nd time at RPM. The first time was in Las Vegas and this time was in Washington DC. Both restaurants displayed excellent service and delicious meals. I had the meatball meal, superb and wife had the seafood prawns 🍤. Garlic bread was exceptionally tasty. This is one of favorite restaurants.
