" During my last visit to La Tomate, I experienced a cozy atmosphere with some of the most delicious Italian food! I ordered the calamari for an appetizer, and it was moist and flavorful, while my friend's seafood risotto was equally impressive. Although the wait staff was pleasant, they needed to be a bit quicker with refilling water glasses. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a meal in Dupont Circle. " (*Curated Review*)

" This Italian spot in Dupont Circle is lovely but has some drawbacks. While the food was good, particularly the lasagna, the service left something to be desired. We had to wait quite awhile for our server to return. That being said, the ambiance was charming, and I do think they deserve another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon La Tomate and what a delightful surprise! The Penne alla Vodka was creamy and delicious—comfort food at its finest! The restaurant had a friendly neighborhood feel, making it an ideal spot for casual dining. Although it was bustling during dinner, everyone was attentive. I would love to come again and try their desserts next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! La Tomate is an Italian restaurant that truly understands its roots. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the Bolognese sauce was perfect. The atmosphere was bustling yet cozy, ideal for a night out. I must mention that the service was rather slow, as they were quite busy, but the quality of food makes up for it. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try La Tomate and it lived up to its reputation! The place feels so authentic and cozy. I ordered the arancini as an appetizer and it was fantastic, rich in flavor. My main dish was the spaghetti carbonara, which was creamy and just perfect. The service was friendly, but it felt a bit slow during peak hours. Nonetheless, it's a charming spot that I recommend.

" La Tomate has been a favorite of mine for a while now! Their spaghetti carbonara is unlike any I’ve had elsewhere—so rich and flavorful! The atmosphere is quaint yet vibrant, reflecting the heart of Dupont Circle perfectly. The only downside was that it can get quite busy, leading to longer wait times for tables. But, it's worth every minute of the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to La Tomate was quite an experience! When you step inside, you feel like you've entered a quaint Italian village. Their handmade ravioli with truffle sauce was divine—definitely the highlight of the dinner! Although the service felt a bit rushed as they were busy, everyone was welcoming and helpful. I can't emphasize how beautiful the pasta was, not only in taste but in presentation as well. I will certainly recommend this place to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)
