Fiiomeno - Calumet-Norvelt

This is a great Italian place for a date night. Portions are definitely large, so they are good for sharing for a couple. Finally, the strawberry cheesecake is perfect, again a perfect size for two.

Celebrated my daughter’s birthday but unfortunately the meal was not worth celebrating. After seeing the positive reviews I reserved a table for lunch. I ordered the Rigatoni con Salsicce and my daughter ordered the Linguine Cardinale. The plates were large and should be shared. The dishes came out lukewarm. They were busy that day but the pasta dishes should always be hot. The Salsicce dish was underwhelming, there was a lack of flavor. The Cardinale dish, because it was lukewarm ,the lobster meat was rubbery. We were so disappointed that we skipped the dessert and went to Levain Bakery instead.

First time here and it lived up to the hype from social media. The Christmas decorations were charming. The staff was accommodating and very friendly to the two children we had with us. The food was amazing, delicious, authentic and portions were huge. I definitely will be back!

This was the highlight of my trip to DC. After getting about 4 recommendations from friends in Florida that said this was a not to miss restaurant we almost missed it. I didn’t make reservations in time but somehow lucked out on a Thursday afternoon walk-in. They were so accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere is so interesting and fun. To start the bread basket of overflowing and all the types of bread were fresh and amazing served with fresh olive oil and spices for dipping. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Rigatoni Polo Vodka, Lasagna, and the Misto de mare allla Filomena. It was one of if not the best meal of my life. My husband and I shared the salad and Misto Filomena. It was so big we still took home half. The pasta was so fresh. We asked for a vodka sauce and it was incredible. I highly recommend that sauce with the seafood btw. My daughter had the Rigatoni and my son-in-law had the lasagna and we all had to try each others because we kept raving how good they all were. For dessert we shared the tiramisu and cannoli which was so different and delicious. All I can say is I’m back in Florida one week and have done nothing but crave this amazing food. Make your reservation early and you won’t regret it!!! Service was outstanding also!

Absolutely fantastic!! Excellent old-style Italian!! The pasta in vodka sauce was outstanding, as was my clams in a white wine sauce (with lots of garlic! Their Sunday sauce is fabulous any day of the week!! WE will be back!! Bueno!!
