This is a fantastic Italian spot with incredible quality. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The pizza dough is spot-on and wonderfully complex—a perfect balance of all the right notes, with a crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior that enhances every topping.
And the panini bread—forget about it! It’s so good-fresh, flavorful, and the perfect foundation for the sandwich ingredients to shine. The salads are crisp and tasty, and I absolutely love the chicken Alfredo, which is rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
The owners are truly wonderful people who care deeply about quality, pay close attention to detail and take pride in everything they serve.
If you want authentic Italian food made with intention and great ingredients, this place is absolutely worth it—and perfect for all your catering needs. I’ve never been disappointed with Italian Kitchen and that is saying something!

We ordered two Lasagnas and Chicken Alfredo with three sodas. Working hours until 11 p.m. during work week. We ordered for take out because they were closing. Prices were around 20$ per person including soda. Meal size is good, worker was polite and nice. Neighbourhood is sketchy during the night, but maybe it’s just us because we are not from around here. We found it using google maps search for italian restaurant. Family owned and operated. Street parking down the street and in front of the restaurant. Solid 8 / 10 overall rating.

I found a cockroach in my chicken Alfredo ordered on 11/23. Halfway through the meal. Please beware. Absolutely disgusting.

Bruschetta starter is banging good! The Chicken Parmmocer pasta was insanely good! For a primarily a take out place, the in house presentation and service was impeccable. Still it is a take out place! Food awesome, ambiance not so much! Will I eat here again? ABSOLUTELY! Cheers!

Italian Kitchen is not only delicious but their staff are kind, gracious, and caring. We had a large catering order that required their team to pack 600 boxed lunches. The amount of food given in each box was generous. The panini bread was fresh and delicious. The delivery drivers were kind and went above and beyond to make sure our order was where it needed to be in our space. And finally communication from their team to us on delivery timing was 10/10. Would definitely recommend and will order from here again and again.

I’m glad to see they survived the pandemic. I missed their bruschetta; the best I’ve tasted. The chicken cesar panini is amazeballs. Really all their food is pretty good, you will not be disappointed.

The Italian Kitchen in DC is a true gem! This family-owned business is absolutely amazing, and they have a unique way of making you feel like you’re part of their family from the moment you walk in.
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying their food for a small catered birthday dinner, and I was blown away by their service and the quality of their food. The attention to detail and the care they put into every dish was evident, and it made the celebration truly special.
What sets Italian Kitchen apart is not just their delicious food, but also their commitment to serving the community. It’s heartwarming to see how they provide food to so many people in need. Their dedication to giving back is truly admirable.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine served with warmth and love, you absolutely must give Italian Kitchen a try. Not only will you enjoy a fantastic meal, but you’ll also be supporting a business that does a lot of good in our community!

Visiting from Texas and decided to order from this place because it was late and “Italian” food sounded good. Unfortunately I didn’t look at google reviews prior to ordering on UberEats. It was hands down the WORST food experience I’ve had on my 3 week vacation of “food adventures” while traveling to different states trying new restaurants. I’d have honestly rather eaten McDonald’s instead. Absolutely no flavor. We got 3 different dishes and all 3 were gross. We only received ONE set of silverware! The breadsticks were extremely dull. They tasted like they were old but reheated and moist, it’s hard to explain. I read another review that said it seems like these are freezer meals….I agree 100%!!! I wouldn’t EVER give this place another try again or recommend it to anyone. $50 down the drain… I sure hope people read these reviews before ordering in the future. No clue how this place is even in business still. Ugh 12 states in 3 weeks and definitely the worst of all meals.
