Cafe Milano - Calumet-Norvelt

I was disappointed with the grilled menu. I ordered two grilled branzino fish. The fish was not well prepared or seasoned at all. We complained to the manager and he said he was going to talk to the chef and never returned. Our waiter avoided our table and brought the bill while we were still struggling to eat the sides we ordered.It was a very disappointing experience for overpriced food. It would have been better eating at another restaurant. Very poor customer service.Will not recommend

We heard about this place and were not disappointed. We were in the area, and we went for dinner. We had an amazing fine-dining experience at this historic Italian restaurant, which caters to Georgetown residents and others. Moreover, the quality of food and service is exceptional.

I would say this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Washington D.C.Located in an excellent part of Washington , in Georgetown, this place offers an extremely good quality service and food. From appetizers to desserts, passing through pastas, pizzas, meats and fish… none of them will disappoint your taste buds.You can clearly identify that pasta is handmade and the cooking point “al dente” is definitely achieved. I was recommended to order a risotto with beet and duck stuffed legs which was extraordinary.Cocktails here are above average, the flavors mixed into a single glass are simply incredible with quantities correctly measured.Service here was excellent, with an attentive staff making sure you don’t miss anything during your meal from start to end. They had knowledge of the whole menu and were able to provide recommendations.Price obviously goes aligned with the location, quality of food an service provided and is above average but without reaching extremes. Price of each plate is worth the experience.I recommend Cafe Milano for a special occasion, or even for a casual date to taste the Italian scent of this place.

I am so embarresed to have brought my friends ttravelling from Europe to be here for our special dinner together.Food was good but we were seated at the worst table right upon the service table where staff were coming and going to service other guests. Then the door to the terrace was opened and closed multiple times to service other tables each time with a blast of cold air. Ultimately we had to move out to the terrace because we couldn’t hear ourselves above the raucous kids at the next table cheered on by their parents. It was like a busy afternoon in a fast food restaurant.

Power brokers...Schmower brokers...That's the pricey nice Italian restaurant in Georgetown...Well then... The food better be great...It was excellent !Something Italian for everyone.Everything made fresh from scratch.The waitstaff were supreme!Gary Pagano and two assistant waitstaff attended our needs witha superfluous flair and a comfortable demeanor.Yes... It was pricey... but it was well worth it.We had appetizers, entrees, and dessert with wine and delectable cocktails...I highly recommend this classy little Italian restaurant.We really had an EXCELLENT experience !We smartly valet parked the car as we drove there $20).We will definitely go back for another fun and fancy delicious night out.The only thing we would do different is NOT to request tap water not tasty).One sip and we all avoided it.Not sure whether their water filter exists for water glasses.Bottled water is the only choice.Otherwise... Impeccable and excellent food, service, and overall experience !Cena eccellente ! Parking: Right out front...
