    We had a great time at DuPont Italian Kitchen! The service was prompt and excellent, and the drinks were appropriately stiff for a mid-week happy hour.

    Not gourmet. Side pasta tasted like canned sauce. Presentation is lacking. Ordered Chicken milanese and it was thinly sliced fried chicken on a plate with some arugula on top--not horrible, but reminded me of a cafeteria presentation. Can't truly recommend.

    Nice dining area. Chicken Marsala was excellent. Love that they have handmade noodles. The only downside is that we had to ask to have our table cleaned as it was dirty when we sat down Would definitely go back

    Every pasta dish is fantastic. You can't go wrong. The tiramisu is the best tiramisu in DC. The service is great. What's not to like?

    #DIT is very non-commercial. It is Very Unique. The food was GREAT & our waitstaff were friendly! My friend & I had the brussel sprouts and calamari for our appetizers; they were FANTASTIC! My friend enjoyed the lasagna which I hear is HIGHLY recommended. I had the linguine (add shrimp) for my entree which was AMAZING! We had a GREAT experience! We’re looking forward to enjoying more experiences at #dit
