" La Tomate captures the essence of Italian dining beautifully! From the decor to the flavor profiles, everything is spot on. The staff was knowledgeable about wine pairings, which added to the experience. The only hiccup was the wait time for our dishes, but they were worth it. I had the best tiramisu—rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. Highly recommend this place to any fine-dining enthusiast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always enjoyed Italian food, and La Tomate exceeded my expectations! The lasagna was outstanding—ample layers of cheese and a rich meat sauce. The patio outside is perfect for dining in nice weather. Our waiter was kind but slightly inattentive. The dessert, a homemade gelato, was the perfect finish. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Dupont Circle. " (*Curated Review*)

" We absolutely loved our dinner at La Tomate! The antipasto platter was divine with a variety of interesting flavors and textures. The main course, veal parmesan, was perfectly cooked and not too heavy. Service was prompt, but it became a little hectic as the restaurant filled up. Overall, it is a wonderful choice in Dupont for a lively evening out. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Tomate is a lovely spot, but my experience was a bit mixed. The calamari was excellent, but I found the pasta dishes to be overly salty for my taste. I appreciated the warm and friendly service, although at times it felt rushed. I think next time, I'd like to ask for a light hand on the seasoning. The atmosphere is charming, making it a worthwhile place to visit despite my reservations. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to try La Tomate due to its reputation, my meal was a bit underwhelming. The pasta dish I had lacked the flavor I was expecting. The ambiance is charming, however, which adds to the dining experience. I might give it another shot in the future as I’ve heard many great things! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
