Such an excellent choice for date night dinner. The waiter brought a tasting of two wines so I could decide. She answered all of our meal requests questions. We were able to modify/sub items in the meal with no charge and everything down to the dessert was excellent. 10/10 experience.

This restaurant just happened to be right by where I was attending a work meeting in DC so it was very convenient - and turned out to be a wonderful meal! The bread and pasta were fresh and the sauces were were perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive. I come to the area a couple times per year and will definitely be back!

This was our first visit to Sette Osteria and the food was excellent and environment beautiful! We had a great server who was warm and friendly. When we first arrived, the restaurant was wide open but the longer we were there, the more it filled in thankfully. This restaurant deserves a full house!

We were just visiting and found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was excellent! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our waiter was very patient with us as we tried to make up our minds which delicious dish to get. I would definitely go back when I’m in DC next time!
