We have come here a few times now and our favorite is the chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce and the linguine with white wine clam sauce. This is quickly becoming one of our favorites at Pike and Rose and we love to celebrate special occasions here. Exceptional service and lovely staff.

Philomena is a pillar in the DC community and for great reason. When you first walk down the, many steps, you enter your known as house. During the holiday season, the restaurant is decorated from head to toe with Christmas celebration. The staff are all extremely courteous and helpful And always dressed amazingly. The food is outstanding. All portions are large enough to share so get a few dishes and let your table enjoy old world Italian cuisine. Anything on the menu is a score in my book. But don’t forget always leave room for dessert. The cannoli are amazing!
