Lavagna Washington Dc

LOVE this place! Really great, tasty, well-made Italian classics in a homey neighborhood atmosphere with extremely friendly service. If you’re looking for an Italian dinner in the area with reasonable prices, this is a perfect option.

Food good.we were early and not busy. Like table in the back.we had lobster bisque, Spaghetti carbonara and Rigatoni Italian sausage were excellent.

We made a reservation because Lavagna advertised live jazz the first Friday of every month. When I made the reservation, I asked to be seated to hear the music. The musicians were friends of mine.When we got to the restaurant, we were told that the music was in the bar: but no food was served in the bar. The maitre d' was, at best, nasty. We left. We won't go back.

We had an Italian brunch/lunch on Saturday. The outdoor seats were limited and mostly taken, so we decided to sit indoor by the window.I ordered the goat cheese omelette, which was rich in flavor and had a great portion. The ice coffee was decent.My friend ordered Italian sausage gravy, and the taste was a bit plain for us but I think it's just how Italian likes to eat, and it fitted well with the provided ketchup or hot sauce.Overall, the food and service were all good, and I deem the price were fair for what we were offered.

My fiancé and I went to Lavagna for Date night located in SE DC. It’s been on my list to try for a while. The host staff was very friendly when seating us and taking our order. We tried the Bruschetta and Apple Salad for our starter before getting into the entrees. The Apple Salad was my favorite dish. I tried the Rigatoni Italian Sausage and she had the Carbonara. The food was good but it was missing that X factor. I really liked the old school 80s style theme they have. We enjoyed ourselves there.
