Michael was EVERYTHING. Ask for him. We could have listened to him speak about the menu all evening. Like dinner and a show, he's that epic of a server! Food was second only to his service, everything was a hit. We had a family party of 8 here and it was spectacular. Cocktails were fantastic. Try the veal special, squid ink pasta, and you must get the pistachio gelato!!! The private room is truly private for parties with young children.

So yummy! The service is a bit slow, but the atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious! I definitely want to come back. Two minor complaints: would have preferred to not have the fried lemon in the frito misto - I was expecting calamari and it was a lemon, lol. And the Cesar, I wish they asked before peppering it. But other than that, amazing,

Best Italian experience you can have in Washington! We are amazed by RPM, best Italian food you can have here and best service ever. From the beginning, Kat was amazing! She is so kind and so professional, she speak even a perfect Italian so if you want some explanation about the food she will very happy to help you. About the food, we tried different plates and everyone was absolutely perfect! I really suggest you to try the truffle pizza and the ribeye, FENOMENAL. The pasta is also fresh made and perfectly cooked and you can also feel the freshness of the ingredients! RPM is one of the place where you have to stop if you visit Washington or if you live here, you for sure will come back again!

We went during restaurant week and absolutely loved this place. This is lovely Italian, not Italian American. The wine list is extensive with massive range of prices. We sat outside and it was perfect. inside is cool and has a good vibe. We will definitely go back.

One of my favorite spots! I’ve been here many times for dinner, but this was our first happy hour. I cannot rave about it enough. Their happy hour is Monday-Sunday 3-6pm. Many drink options and lots of variety for food too. Fast service, phenomenal cocktails, and fun atmosphere. House music, dimmed lights, it’s a vibe.
