    OK here is the real deal. In short, you must try this place. The food is amazing, the service was excellent, especially that the place was packed, even on a Wednesday! We ordered the calamari to start, a little oily, but very tasty. The main dishes consisted of lasagna, ravioli and the gnocchi. Each dish was over the top amazing. Yes the price per dish was a lot, but I assure you that majority of the people will take home at least half the plate and have another meal the following day. The final element was the chocolate moose cake that was everything you would expect, rich, flavorful, and naughty. But what the hell. It was a perfect ending to an amazing meal. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you have a large group.

    It was wonderful to dine with you this evening. Griffin was a wonderful and knowledgeable server who went above and beyond. It was my birthday and even on restaurant week with a full house your staff provided amazing service (some of the best we’ve ever received in DC) and went above and beyond. We will come back again and gladly recommend you to our guests. Thank you for being so wonderful and for making me feel special.

    Really enjoyed our meal at RPM Italian. I wish I could remember our waiters name, he was excellent. Very attentive to what we needed. The food was excellent. Ricotta spread with focaccia bread was a great start. The brussels sprout salad was huge and delicious. I wanted to eat it all because it was so good but needed room for my Cacio e pepe pasta dish. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Other DC restaurants may generate gushy reviews and play hard-to-get with reservations, but Centrolina is consistently one of the very best high-end restaurants in the DMV--period. And it's all good: the wines and cocktails, the flawlessly grilled fish, the dreamy pastas, the awesome-in-their-own-right contorni and desserts. At lunch the waitress recommended the tomato soup. It was insanely rich and spiked with Calabrian chile oil and (I think) pickled vegetables. Who does tomato soup like that? Who does a bread service with cheesy focaccia and perfectly crunchy whole-wheat bread sticks? Centrolina. This is a serious restaurant that doesn't take itself too seriously. Just come and eat.
