StephanieBartender Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Has anyone ever eaten @ Trattoria Nicola's? On 1250 22nd Street NW?????? I was staying in the Embassy Suites for the week and had the pleasure of eating my way through the menu. Rustic Italian...mmmmmmm. I am quite familiar with good Italian food, having worked for some time for Chef Roberta Donna. Was wondering if anyone has also tried the restaurant. I hear it has only been open a few months but the service is outstanding and the Mother's Day menu (I had the halibut with lemon zest and rosemary crust on spinach in a lemon butter sauce) was simply amazing. Quite a nice wine selection too. They offer a lunch buffet that is by far the most gourmet buffet I have ever eaten. Plus it comes with a different "chef's special pasta" every day. WOW! I'm impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettashley01 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 all I can offer on this place is that it used to be Pane Vino, and what I saw of it then wasn't anything to write home about.. I stopped in there once and interviewed for a hosting position- are they still owned by Restaurant Associates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience has been delicious and to me the restaurant is beautiful. The hot french-italian-english chef certainly helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRiv18 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 So, this place has closed in the past month as they renovate Embassy Suites. It was a decent lunch buffet here, and a very comfortable and civilized atmosphere, but I won't get as excited about it as StephanieBartender did. BTW, this is actually one of my favorite threads too of all time, nice balance of shameless promotion and sour grapes. And a mysterious French-Italian-English heartthrob chef, with a little Roberto Donna thrown in too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
