My friend and I split a Sicilian eggplant pizza and the tuna belly, both of which were phenomenal. The tuna belly was super flavorful and went wonderfully with the hearty starter bread; the celery leaves were a great final touch and pop of freshness to cut through the otherwise fatty, heavy dish. It was also the perfect way to whet our appetite for the pizza. The pizza was fantastic, with a great savory, slightly tart tomato sauce and a generous helping of smoky roasted eggplant. The crust has a great char and is quite thin and almost floppy, but it’s to be expected for Neapolitan-style pizza; it just means you have to dig in pretty quickly or it’ll start to get a bit soggy. The pizza is finally finished with a sprinkling of fresh basil and diced kalamata olives, which give the dish a good extra hit of freshness and brininess, respectively.
Overall, I had a wonderful time at Etto. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner or happy hour, and I can’t wait to visit again!
The staff is very bad. They are not interested at all in providing hospitality to the guests and were chatting, drinking, and on their phones the entire time of my visit severely detracting from my experience. Coupled with the fact there was no music whatsoever I couldn’t help but hear their gossip and drama my whole meal which was annoying to say the least.
Again, excellent food. Maybe takeout would be a better choice here
We asked that our pizzas be cooked a little more crispy which helped. I also ordered the goodbye earl cocktail which was strong but balanced well with the lemon and grapefruit. For dessert we shared the affogato and chocolate custard. Chocolate custard was really good and I loved the whipped cream on top!
The Sicilian Pizza was very tasty! The crust was great too. It was more than I could finish, but I almost ate the whole things. I now have breakfast tomorrow!
The service was also good. The included service charge made this a bit expensive for a meal for one. I get though why they need to do this. Still, its worth visiting here.
All of it was delicious! The pizza was layered perfectly and paired well with the wine. A soft, doughy crust with red onions and parsley and garlic and, oh… give it a try if you go.
The Affogato was delicious, but as soon as I saw it on the menu and how small the cup was, I told the bartender (who was super friendly), “this sounds really dangerous!”. No doubt you shouldn’t have it regularly, as it’s an espresso with an added shot of vanilla ice cream. Good for your health? Not likely. Good for your taste buds and sweet tooth? M. Hm.
Other than the food being excellent, the staff was all friendly. It was pretty packed when I went, both inside and out, so if you don’t like lots of people, maybe opt for take-out (the restaurant typically opens around 5pm). Given its location and the quality of the food, it’s not a surprise it’s a hit.
Wine was $16. Pizza was $21. Affogato was $6. Be prepared to splurge a little bit, but it’s DC and the food is worth it. Also important to note that a 20% service charge was automatically included.
Overall, 5/5 stars from me. Chef’s kiss ☕️
Update: the anchovies with green sauce and soft egg is deeeeelish!
