Best Mediterranean Restaurants in NoMa

A Dining Experience to Remember! From the moment we walked into Limani, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort, but it was the staff and service that truly elevated our experience to another level. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly and professional. Carlos had an impressive knowledge of the menu and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations. His passion and dedication to our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity. But what made the meal truly special was how effortlessly the staff anticipated our needs. They refilled drinks without being asked, timed each course perfectly, and even surprised us with a small complimentary treat when they learned we were celebrating a special occasion. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and service excel at such a high level, but Limani has mastered the art of hospitality. By the end of the evening, we were already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

Impeccable! Cannot wait to go again to try some more of the menu. We had baba ghannouge, fries with labneh, smoked beet salad, mujadara, imam bayildi, garides me anitho, lamb baharat and lamb kelftiko. Every single dish had a perfectly- balanced complexity of flavors that made want to sing. The food has inspired me to attempt some of these dishes at home.

Great food. Really good service. A little noisy, like any popular restaurant in the city usually is. We dine here every time we’re in DC.

Service was friendly and helpful , and the portions were ample. The menu was interesting and rewarding.

Staff were attentive and welcoming. Food was very delicious. We ordered small plates and a side: Burrata, raw bar (half dozen), chickpea tortilla tacos, tuna meatballs, grilled octopus, grilled carrots. Our favorite was the tuna meatballs - definitely ordering that again! The only dish that was slightly off was the octopus - was a little overcooked. The staff graciously gave us our dessert to go (so we could properly thank the grandparent sitters). We’d gladly come back for cocktails and full entrees in the future!
