" Had a meal here with friends this past weekend, and we were pleasantly surprised! The seafood platters were divine, and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere allowed for engaging conversations and laughter, making it a great place for gatherings. I would happily recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a pretty great experience. The pasta was freshly made, and the sauces were wonderful. I appreciated the friendly service. Although I would suggest making a reservation as it can get crowded in the evenings, it's worth it! I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meals here are hit or miss. Some dishes are fantastic while others just don’t measure up. My last visit saw me ordering the lasagna which was overcooked, yet my friend’s seafood pasta was superb. The service is usually good, but it can be a wait during peak hours. I appreciate the atmosphere, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lavagna has quickly become my go-to for Italian food in DC. I love their homemade pasta, and the sauces are rich and full of flavor. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I once went for brunch and had the eggs benedict, which was incredibly tasty. I also appreciate their bottomless mimosa deal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Lavagna after hearing so many great things, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While the service was friendly, I found the food to be a bit bland, which was surprising for an Italian restaurant that focuses on authenticity. The atmosphere was cozy, but I think I'll explore other options before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Lavagna last week for a date night, and I couldn't have been happier. We had the flatbread and bruschetta to start. Both were exceptional! I went for the risotto, while my partner enjoyed a seafood pasta dish. Everything was beautifully presented and incredibly satisfying! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Lavagna. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the menu had something for everyone. The pasta was freshly made, and the kids loved their meals. If you're looking for a great family spot, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)
