Why Travelers Love Filomena Ristorante

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.6 / 5.0(5,503 reviews)

Absolutely delicious meatballs. The staff were very polite and their service was truly top notch. The bar seating was comfortable and overall atmosphere was relaxing. The free bread was quite nice. Food wise do yourselves a favor and get the meatball, they were absolutely amazing. Overall if you want great Italian food then check them out. We happen to stay in Georgetown DC and on the way to the hotel the name caught my eye, because one of our family members has the same name Filomena. We have to go eat there I told my husband. Shortly after we walked in, the restaurant is downstairs so it’s a flight down. We were greeted and seated immediately even though the place was packed on a Monday night. The atmosphere is happy and energetic. The food comes quick in huge plates. We had the vodka rigatoni with chicken. It’s the best vodka rigatoni we ever had in our entire life. Better I have to say than Italy itself. Plates are to be shared, the service was excellent. We will fly back there just to go eat at Filomena Ristorante There you have it. So if you are traveling that way, stop by. Make a reservation not sure if you will be able to claim a spot at this place. My review will most likely get lost in the sea of other 5 stars, but I just wanted to say how truly amazing this place was ! I lost my nonna two years ago, and have been trying to find somewhere even remotely close to how her food tasted ( we all know love is the secret ingredient) if I closed my eyes and savoured the bites, I felt like I was back in her kitchen as a kid in the 90’s. I know you get hundreds of reviews a month, but truly thank you for bringing me back to how my nonna’s kitchen felt and tasted like. Truly authentic! Service was also top notch :)

5/5. I will say the vibe was not what I was expecting, but if you are looking for hearty Italian food this is a great spot. We really liked all the dishes. The waiter was quick and good, but a little pushy about getting dessert and drinks, which we did not want on a Monday night. Glad we tried Filomena. O and the portions are pretty big which is nice.

We celebrated my husband's 35th birthday here on Oct 3rd! The staff was so kind and welcoming. Had looked forward to coming here as my husband is of Italian roots and this reminded him of his childhood. I deeply enjoyed everything and everyone at Filomena and you can tell how proud they are of this place! Will recommend 10/10!
