RPM Italian Washington Reviews
Disappointing, never to return!
There for first time in years, hoping for an experience like we remembered. It was a specially anniversary, and they noted it when we got to the table. The table was tiny and uncomfortable. Practically sitting on top of tables on either side of us th

This is probably my highest profile review yet for a type of food I love the most. In my eyes this place can do no wrong. We were greeted at the door promptly and sat within 5 minutes. We had the luxury of having the reservation metal plate which was

Logan the restaurant manager has no idea how to run a restaurant. Awful food , service and management. Unfortunately it has changed.
Excellent experience, an oasis after a long day in the heat
Excellent experience, an oasis after a long day in the heat and sun. Fantastic food and professionally courteous service in a warm and welcoming environment.
RPM Italian is my go-to for client lunches.
The location off New York Avenue is convenient, and the lunch menu is always excellent with great options. Service and atmosphere are consistently top-notch perfect spot for both business and dining.

To preface, I rarely write bad reviews because it's so much better to celebrate the great/hope for the best! I have been coming to RPM for over two years now, and have always sat on the patio with my puppy for happy hour or dinner- they have bee

I've been to RPM Italian at least four times since it first opened. For someone who eaten all over the city in my nearly two decades in DC, it has always been a consistent, go-to spot. I've never been disappointed in any of my visits and ha
Excellent Italian in DC
We had a family dinner here to celebrate a milestone birthday. The host welcomed us and acknowledged the special occasion as he checked us in. We were promptly taken back to a wonderful table where our waiter Josh was waiting to offer another congrat

Absolutely delicious food and experience!! We got here a little before 12 and they let us in early. This used to be my go-to for client lunches, and it might have to be again. The garlic bread is still to die for and I got the classic spaghetti and
It's good food.
Is it good enough to warrant the hefty price tag? No. The delivery packaging was high quality. And I certainly appreciated that. The carbonara was super creamy and tasty. The pepperoni pizza could've been from any much more affordable pizza p
OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE.
Mama depandi pomodoro is littearly to die for. The garlic bread too. Must try!!! Service is amazing aswell!
This is clearly a corporate run restaurant.
The drinks at the bar are measured and light and best. When I returned the short rib pepperadele, as it's not having enough meat, I was told by the manager that they "weigh their protein." Sorry, I would prefer short rib with my s"

Unexpected Treat
The ambience of the restaurant is upscale & chic, however with relaxing undertones. Devin was outstanding along with other staff who brought out our meals. This was my first experience and I'll be sure to return as I would like to try thei
Unacceptable service
RPM is one of my favorite places. The food and ambiance are amazing. Tonight (5/17/25) we sat at a table in the bar area. Our server Jennifer B was terrible. She was not attentive at all. She took our order and that was it. We had to flag her down fo
Great food and service.
We had a great experience (Thanks to Joy!). Great food and service. We also liked the lighting, which makes for a nice and relaxed atmosphere. It's a full price restaurant, but being in downtown, it absolutely worth it. Compared to the Italian w
Amazing Happy Hour!
Just came here for happy hour as it was perfect location near our hotel. Wonderful experience and will definitely be back for dinner. Great atmosphere! The bar area was large and windows on three sides. The dining room looked beautiful and cozy. Gre
Dinner in Washington, DC
LOVE THIS PLACE!! Came here Friday for a friend’s birthday dinner and it was great! Highly recommend their pastas: the Spicy King Crab (squid ink), Lobster Fra Diavolo, Carbonara and Wild Mushroom Risotto. Crispy Brussel Sprouts and Caesar Salad
Simply The Best
Wow! This is one seriously good Italian restaurant. Went there for my in-law's 60th wedding anniversary and could not have a imagined a better meal. Food tastes like someone's Italian grandmother is in the kitchen cooking 100 year old fa
The lunch course menu is a bang for its buck.
You get an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The interior is beautiful and everything about the experience is top notch. Please try their desserts because they are all delicious!
Overall it was good but not great.
The tables did not provide for an intimate dining experience. The dining room was quite loud. Service was okay, it was a bit slow and we were there on a Tuesday. Food - 4/5. This was the highlight. We started with the rosemary focaccia and the pros

RPM Italian was exactly what I had been looking for.
A nice upscale vibe and amazing, fresh Italian food. I arrived on the later end on a week night and was told no tables were available, but I was able to snag one on open table and get seated almost immediately. The wine list is extensive for glas
Service was great and the dessert was delicious.
The food was lackluster! I'm went for my birthday and my waiter was amazing she really went above and beyond but the food it self was just okay. I would only go back to sit at the bar for drinks and dessert.
We had an outstanding meal at RPM.
It was a celebration for my late brother's service in the army! We laid him to rest at Arlington early that day!! Our waiter was like a Shakespearian actor! Very colorful!! Our meal was delicious in many ways. I had eggplant Parmigiana ala Billi and

I have visited RPM a few times and absolutely love it! The lobster ravioli is a stand-out to me, and service is always outstanding and classy. I'm also glad I tried one of their G&Ts, mine was probably the best I've ever had! And the prosciutto a

Came for a birthday dinner on a Friday night.
It was busy so a reservation is a must. The ambiance is classy and upscale as it is dark inside. Thankfully they have lighting at the tables to be able to read the menu. For an upscale restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised to see such reasonable pri
More like a 3.5 star review
Decent food but not outstanding. The Caesars salad was soggy and bland but the Spicy King Crab pasta was great so I guess it's a place where you have to choose wisely
Wonderfully authentic, high-end Italian meal paired with great service
My family and I chose this restaurant because we noted on its website, trip advisor, and reviews that it served freshly made pasta -- and audente like what we had gotten used when we lived in Rome. We were hoping for dishes made from simple but high

Authentic, fresh, comfort italian
A must-visit for fresh authentic Italian food! The meatballs could not be better- they remind me of my grandmother's! The pasta is delicious and the sauce, especially the pomodoro, is simple, authentic, and a classic comfort dish. my family loves the
Great Italian food near Convention Center
In DC for a meeting. Decided on Italian for supper. Started with house Caesar salad. It was good, but had too much lemon juice. Entree was chicken parmigiana. Chicken perfectly softened and cooked. Side dish of outstanding al dente spaghetti. Sauces
Very Strange Dining Experience
RPM is a lovely restaurant so ambiance gets a 5. Service was a 5 for the first part of the meal. The Caesar salad was the worst we’ve ever had and it gets a 1. My carbonara gets a 3. Karen’s eggplant parmesan was a 2. Too much filler. Here’s
Dinner before concert
Excellent service, great atmosphere and food! Did not have a reservation so we sat in the bar area. Had the eggplant Parmesan which did not disappoint! Within walking distance to the Capital One Arena.
Run...Don't Walk to Eat Here!
All I can say is WOW! We were in town for Parent Weekend at the University of Maryland and wanted to eat Italian food in D.C. We ordered the focaccia bread appetizer and it was unbelievable. We also ordered their house salad which they were kind e
Very delicious and festive Italian restaurant
Very nice and high end Italian restaurant. Very beautiful place. The service and food are outstanding. We celebrated 🍾 a friend's birthday and it was super festive. Food was super delicious and fresh. Prices are a bit pricey, but it's worth it
Perfection
This was a fantastic dining experience: the ambiance, the service (thank you, Daniel from PR), and the food were all perfect. Highly recommend the focaccia with whipped ricotta, the chicken parm, and the butternut squash tortellini in a brown butter
RPM has become a date night go to for us.
Service is usually very prompt, caring, and professional. Menu has specials updated often and something for most everyone though it's probably better for meat and seafood eaters. Portions are ample so for two we typically share an appetizer, a pasta,

An amazing group meal with excellent service
We had originally a group of ten that went down to eight the day of our meal. I had to arrange a room for any group over 8, and we had a nice table that could fit 12 max. There was a minimum room price and they were very helpful with the details, d
I had an ok dinner here.
I liked the old fashioned cocktail, but I didn't like the Paloma swizzle as much which tasted more like juice. The black truffle pizette was not warm and it didn't have a lot of flavor. The pastas were decent but I felt that they were a bit hard or u
On a Thursday noon, a bunch of friends decided to go out.
They finally agreed upon going to an Italian restaurant. One of them that was more tech savvy started to look around for a restaurant. A couple of choices appeared to be good choices. He brought those choices with the group and RPM Italian and anothe
Exquisite
RPM Negroni is exceptional. The Caesar salad was the best I've ever had. Short rib bolognese was perfect. Very good service. Great meal overall.
Good food, good vibes, and great service.
Portions could've been larger for the price. Reservations are recommended. But it was a short wait for bar area table.

Convenient take out order
We are in town for a quick tourist visit and found that RPM was only about two blocks away from our hotel. We ordered online-website took Apple Pay, Venmo, or credit card. On a busy Friday night, our dinner still was estimated to be ready for pick up
The service was awesome.
The staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was sexy and chill. The food was pretty good, we sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour specials. Can't wait to go back and experience more of the food

To start our server Daniel was amazing, he provided amazing service and excellent recommendations. The meatballs and truffle bread were an amazing start, the wine selection was also great. The ambiance was nice and quiet with subtle background music.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to RPM Italian Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the RPM Italian Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at RPM Italian Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at RPM Italian Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
