Café popolari a Brookland / Brentwood

Nice group of friends dinner. Cocktails with excellent arancini and octopus starters. Pasta dishes were excellent. Well prepared and great flavors. Staff is always helpful and nice.

A very inviting establishment with very good food.

We had a wonderful time - the atmosphere and people are fabulous! Our waitress Maggie made the night, carefully advising wine, tea, soup, avocado Caesar( a must share starter) and the amazing crispy trout - the sauce, veges and fish was so scrumptious !!! Last week we tried the scallops risotto ( big wow) to finish our meal we had crème brûlée which had a tinge hint of orange 😊 Ask for Maggie as your server- she’s such a bundle of joy and makes your do ing experience fabulous !

Fabulous restaurant with great drinks and kind / attentive staff. Escargot, steak frites, and espresso martini are probably the top appetizer / entree / missed drink in our opinion (as semi-regular customers) but everything is reliably good!

Second time for the Omakase, loved it as much as the first time. The espresso drinks were inventive and flavorful, the bitterness cut through by unexpected flavor elements . TL, our server was attentive and explained each course in detail.
