Siroc Restaurant, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

3.5 stars - it felt as if we traveled to a small town in Italy for authentic local pastas. The menu offered half a dozen of seasonal pastas and allowed for half portions if ordering two. Each person in my group selected his/her own combo and as a group sampled the entire pasta menu. I personally went with lamb ragu gnocchi and butternut squash cappallacci while my husband went with their pork belly carbonara and seafood tagliatelle.

While we waited for our pastas, we were given a complimentary arancini to start and also shared an order of their house made eggplant burrata. Both the starters were beyond scrumptious. Along with their complimentary bread basket, I was already stuffed from appetizers + bread alone. Then came the pastas - first impression - the portion was twice the size as we had anticipated; we would had been more than satisfied by one half portion alone - oops. But the pastas were too good to "save" for later, the gnocchi was pillowy soft + melt in my mouth good, the butternut squash cappallacci - although a bit cold and undercooked, I couldn't say no to anything made with butternut squash. I somehow found myself polishing the bowls and plates. Goodbye summer beach body, we'll try again next year.

Even though my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service left much to desire. The wait staffs were extremely pushy especially when it came to clearing the table and serving the next course. We had to ask multiple times to please don't take the plate of unfinished food away. It was clear we were still working on our first course. I understand that they didn't want the freshly made pastas to sit and get cold, but I wished they would tone down their aggressive approach/time management. We all felt rushed and uncomfortable.

Overall - a great option for yummy Italian food!

Well being from NJ and being around good italian food.. I was ready for the challenge... 1st nice atmosphere... waitress service was very attentive... looking at menu it was completely different from up north, but trying with open mind... For starters veal shortbreat delicious, and the cesear salad was to die for... With a touch of cesear dressing in there unique way preparing the salad was delicious... Entre of beef tenerloin cooked to perfection and the veal & eggplant lasanga was awesome...
Making room for the warm almond cake with a side of vanilla ice cream completed the meal..... Best of luck on your restaurant was a different awesome experience,,, Will be back for sure... thanks to others for your good reviews, that is the only reason i went...

Food:

I always love my times at Siroc. Low key neighborhood in the weekend so there is usually room. Food is always lovely, and the people are charming. The food has its own fusions or flavors that I do not encounter elsewhere - so it is a real treat and I love bringing other folks there for fun or business.

Food:

Local favorite. Always a good meal lunch or dinner. There is bar seating as well.

Food:

I've never intentionally dined at one restaurant three times in one week until I went to Siroc Restaurant!
This intimate spot in McPherson Square can be missed if you're not paying attention, however, once you experience their offerings you'll never forget and you'll want to take a friend.
If you're looking for perfect bolognese, you've found it. The Fettuccine Bolognese is by far the best in DC.
Everything on their menu is made from scratch--including the pasta.
Normally, the chef prepares a complimentary tasting option at the start of your dinner service. Be open to the presentation.
Don't skip the house-made spicy lamb sausages to start.
If you want to push your experience into a new realm, try the house Lemoncello. That's a great party/convo starter!
The wine selection is superb too.

Food:

Although conveniently located Downtown, this charming Italian may be not well known yet is much enjoyed for traditional cooking with a bit of flair for a reasonable price; fans feel it must have a magic formula for turning out such consistently good food, and sidewalk seats facing McPherson Square ice the cake.
