Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Southwest Waterfront

Rustico had a great atmosphere but the food was just ok. Nothing was bad and they got our order correct, so I can't complain. But for the cost, we were disappointed about how ordinary everything was and how small the portions were.

This restaurant was amazing! The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner or a small group celebration.

Visited with my family before a Wizzards game at Capital One arena. Nice ambiance, casual, low key. Service was attentive. Nice selection of pizza, calzones, and pasta. Close to Metro. Would recommend if you're in Penn Quarter

Absolutely fantastic! Service from the bar was slow, but they came over & updated us that a few ppl called out that evening. So, in that case, I do not hold the restaurant responsible because they had the courtesy of letting us know. We met the owner who sent over complimentary cookies. Everything was fantastic, A++++ Keep in mind this was also the same evening that the military helicopter crashed into the plane with Olympic Ice Skaters on the Potomac, which literally right there. 🙏 🤲 Rip to all that passed.

There was a slight mix up at our table, but our servers were super kind and courteous about it. Good food if you’re looking for Italian cuisine in Arlington outside of Sfoglina.
