SHŌTŌ Washington DC Reviews
Outstanding dinner. Great vibe!
Live local went for restaurant week. Outstanding service from Julie and her fiancee. Excellent northern Italian Dinner with a Sicilian twist. The veal was must order.
Very upscale classic italian restaurant for business dinners
Someone else suggested it and we had a business dinner here. The food was of a very high quality and they had innovative pasta dishes, not just classics. DIning room was quiet and conducive to a business conversation. Good for political junkie cel
Renovated Tosca, DC’s the most private public restaurant
Tosca’s renovated interior in beige, gold and touch of turquois promises upscale dining experience. Restaurant is often closed for formal private events. This is what DC wants nowadays. Overall atmosphere is cleanliness and wealth. Disregard all co
Che Bonta!
Fabulous!!! Amazing food! Great service in lovely atmosphere. What more could you ask for?! Our waiter was very hospitable and knowledgeable….guided us to help make the best selections for our individualized tastes…our final selections were buo
small portions large prices
We didn't have a reservation so we ate at the bar. The bartender was busy with the orders from the servers & all the diners. At some point an owner or manager stepped behind the bar to help regulars or VIPs; we overheard some personal exch
The finest of fine dining in DC
Tosca has been one of our favorite “special occasion” restaurants for the last 15 years. Christmas Eve, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, etc. It’s the epitome of white glove service and exquisite, elevated, Italian cuisine. The Chefs, staf
A great evening of wonderful Italian food!
Excellent food, ambiance and service! Traditional Italian food with a modern flair. We had a nice table in the back that was a bit more private. The food came at a steady pace and everything was delicious!!!
Authentic
Menu features the classic Italian fare – weighted towards northern cuisine. Burrata appetizer includes fennel shavings which is a novel, nice add. The Polpo (octopus) is the best I’ve had since Spain (yes, it is a traditional Spanish, not Italia
tasty italian
Delish Italian. Had the seafood pasta which was tasty. Not big portions which was fine. Noisy. Great service. Overall enjoyable.
An Italian gem!
Amazing meal. The food and service were top notch. Service friendly and professional. Beautiful restaurant. Excellent wine list. Host John insured that all went well. All 8 of us greatly enjoyed the experience!
Food exceptional as always, but the din greatly diminished the evening.
We've enjoyed Tosca since it opened during the Obama Administration. It was our 'go-to' restaurant for special occasions and to impress out-of-town visitors with the quality of the food and the reliable, attentive service. We last enjoyed Valentines
Over Rated
Our service at Tosca was very very good. The food was good but not exceptional. The noise level was “PAINFULL!” We cannot recommend Tosca because it is impossible to have a conversation of two people sitting two feet from each other, let alone
Overpriced small plates
Quite disappointing. I had a starter and the Branzino. Spent $100 total. The plates were so tiny that I had to go and get myself some food right after having lunch. And pretty bland food.
Not all that it is cracked up to be
Dined here to celebrate an upcoming birthday. We were warmly greeted and sat promptly. We did have a reservation and arrived 25 minutes early. This place has been on our list for quite some time. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed to be disinterested,
Food taste amongst the Michelin Star's "Best of the best"
It was so good we were blown away. Food taste was as good as the best Michelin Star restaurants we have been to. And I mean compared with the "best of the best" (LeCinq, Joel Rubichon Paris, La Pergola, Amstel 212). On food taste alone I
DO NOT GO
Average food but the smallest portion going. Must of been 3 tiny pieces of pasta. $70 as well for 2 portions of it. Very small portions would not recommend going here
Beware of horrific waiter
My two friends and I walked OUT of this restaurant due to a horribly rude and offensive waiter (named either Ryan or Brian) before we even had the chance to order dinner. We have NEVER done that before. I worked in the restaurant business for many
Very enjoyable
Very nice restaurant with attentive service, food and wine excellent.Our vegetarian friend who had food allergies was looked after extremely well. We had our best meal here during our trip.
Amazing Italian restaurant
Beautiful restaurant. Creative menu and excellent wine list. The food was excellent; scallops seared perfectly, veal chops cooked to perfection. Service professional and friendly! Whats not to love!
First and lasting impressions.
We were precisely 10-11 minutes late for our reservation. FYI, good restaurants give a 15 minute grace period. When we walked in, two people were manning the hostess stand. A man and a woman which I'll refer to as Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. We wer
$200 per person before tip but meh
The menu sounded delectable but in practice fell short of the mark. The pasta vongole had wonderful clams but the pasta itself was overly al dente, aka stiff. The seafood platter (a warm salad) had amazing seafood but the absence of any seasoning
Tosca's ugly underbelly....the owner's temper
My company recently hosted a private event at Tosca (we frequently do). The food and service are great but this time I experienced a different side of Tosca. I witnessed the owner, Paolo Sacco, completely berate and humiliate a staff member. He was
Great fine dining experience
On a short holiday in DC and dropped in for an early meal before going out on an evening tour. We reserved online through OpenTable which all worked fine. We were in a bit of a hurry but the service was quick and attentive. The food arrived quickly,
Very good food, average service
Returned here for dinner with my family after having lunch here in the summer. The food was very good - the beef cheeks were tender and flavorful and my wife loved her risotto. The service was just average- our waiter wasn't the friendliest and that
First class Italian restaurant
Classy, expensive, great food and informed staff. Two had brinzano (Mediterranean sea bass) which they said was great. I had lamb, which was one of the best I have ever had.
Delicious food & drinks & a couple of little glitches
We had a delicious meal at this sleek, modern restaurant. Drinks, a glass of Brunello wine & an Aperol Spritz, came quickly and were very good. We started with the tiny focaccia rolls and loved them. Our appetizer, a Burratta pear fennel salad
Really disappointing.
We just left Tosca for our anniversary dinner. We have been coming to Tosca for many years and have always had a fantastic dinner. It did not live it up to its past performance. Service was slow and inattentive and the food was not good. Sad to say
Fabulous Food In Fabulous environment!
Fabulous flavors that were totally surprising! Hazelnut and Pear soup and HOMEMADE noodles like my granny used to make!!!! Rustam our server was attentive and professional and Jonathan at the entrance was very hospitable!! This is a Must try in DC!
Connect with users posting reservations for SHŌTŌ Washington DC
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with SHŌTŌ Washington DC. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to SHŌTŌ Washington DC at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the SHŌTŌ Washington DC page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at SHŌTŌ Washington DC to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at SHŌTŌ Washington DC!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
