    Every pasta dish is fantastic. You can't go wrong. The tiramisu is the best tiramisu in DC. The service is great. What's not to like?

    #DIT is very non-commercial. It is Very Unique. The food was GREAT & our waitstaff were friendly! My friend & I had the brussel sprouts and calamari for our appetizers; they were FANTASTIC! My friend enjoyed the lasagna which I hear is HIGHLY recommended. I had the linguine (add shrimp) for my entree which was AMAZING! We had a GREAT experience! We’re looking forward to enjoying more experiences at #dit

    This is a real neighborhood gem. The service is good, the food is great--every pasta dish is great--and the it's never too crowded but has enough diners to keep it interesting.
