Pasta Italiana, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

I never review anything because I'm too lazy but I feel a moral responsibility to the eating public to warn you all about this horrible, horrible, establishment that claims to be a restaurant. The service was so bad, as if having to fill up my water glass was some kind of afford the her civil rights. The pasta was barely edible. I literally would have preferred to eat Kraft Mac&cheese. I packed up the food to give to my kids (they wouldn't eat it either). Then, I went across the street and ate at McDonald's, but not after I had spent $58, including a tip which I was forced to pay on the credit card receipt.

Food:

This place was terrible. My shrimp scampi sauce was orangish red and tastelss. Service food and decor all are terrible

Food:

The bread was stale. The caesar salad consisted of pallid romaine bits in a dressing that could have come from a bottle. They were apparently out of croutons, at the start of a Thursday night dinner service. The pasta entree - one of the place's allegedly signature dishes - was soulless, flavorless, and showed no sign of having any house-made ingredients. I have encountered similar fare in the frozen section of the grocery store. Rarely have I seen an establishment invest so little in the quality of its fare, especially at these prices. Avoid.

Food:

I come to a convention at the Marriott every year & this place is always empty - saw several tables occupied this time, so thought I'd give it a shot. Sat down for lunch, ordered & waited for 40 minutes while we watched tables around us pick at their food & look miserable. Told the waiter that we had a meeting to get to & he said the chef had just started our order. Walked out & will never go back - no wonder the place was nearly empty despite being across from a busy convention spot.

Food:

This was truly, without any doubt, the most awful restaurant I have eaten at in my entire life. I have never posted a review before, not for one thing I've bought, eaten at, been too anything. Call me lazy, but that is the case. This restaurant was so terrible, that I will post my first ever review. To begin, good luck understanding a single word from the servers. Their accents are so thick, and voices so soft, you will struggle to even order your "food." And what are two Indians doing running an Italian restaurant? There is no authenticity in the "food." The menu had perhaps 10 items. The cheapest thing on the menu was the salad, which I ordered myself. It took 45 minutes for them to put my lettuce in a bowl, that is unacceptable. My friends and I were the only ones in the restaurant, minus two other poor souls. I would bet money that my friend's $15 spaghetti was Chef Boyardee. My caesar salad consisted of stale lettuce, a couple slices of cheap tomatoes, some mozzarella, and no caesar dressing. On to the salad was the most dry, chewy flavorless chicken I've had in my life. Good thing I didn't order the shrimp instead, because then they would have charged me $20! I sent it back after taking a bite and I refused to pay. On my friends' bill, they charged a 15% gratuity, because nobody would ever tip these two scammers. They even tried to scrimp on their change! These people label their restaurant as "organic", and I can tell you this is absolutely a lie. They play on tourists' lack of knowledge of the area, and falsely advertise their "food." These two belong in prison and should not own an Italian restaurant. I hope they go out of business soon, and are replaced by people who actually know how to cook and run a restaurant. The owners should be ashamed of themselves.
