Extremely ignorant woman at counter. Got irritated that I asked an other customer if he was waited on. Rolled her eyes, and then rang the two of us out at two separate machines. By doing this, I now had to wait for my change since she assumed I was paying by card. Then got irritated when I asked if they took cash. Then, as we were seated at the counter, she scolded me for my back pack on the counter. Which I never would have minded moving if she weren't so rude a second time. read more

Great place to grab a bite before a show at the Kennedy Center (literally across the street). Fresh, Mediterranean-inspired salads, soups, pizzas and gelato to die for. The baked goods look beautiful but I've found them to be pretty dry. You place your order at the counter, they give you a number and bring you food to you. It's a cozy spot with more seating outside than inside so make sure you make a reservation on show nights otherwise you may not get a seat! read more

Wow, if you are going to a show at the Kennedy Center, I highly suggest this place for dinner. You pay ahead of time and can leave when you want. The food was phenomenal and the wine pairings are perfect. I can't wait to go back. read more

We went to a play at the Kennedy Center (A Play That Goes Wrong - 5/5 stars, must-see) and stopped by this place after for an early dinner. I was not expecting much. I could see that it was Greek-ish but had pizza, which was good enough for me since there's not much else around the KC within a very short walk. I was thoroughly impressed. We got a BLT, a margherita pizza, a side of fries, and some gelato for our family of 4. It was all great, but the pizza was fantastic, and I'm a total pizza snob that enjoys places like Stracci and Comet Ping Pong. And the fries were also great. All in all, 5 well-deserved stars for this place! read more

Two friends and I came here randomly because it was right around the corner from the Kennedy center and were pleasantly surprised! We got three pizzas to share and they were all pretty tasty plus bigger than we were expecting. Also the pizza options are all pretty unique, definitely recommend coming here :) read more

Tazza is a cute cafe right across from the Kennedy Center. The restaurant is great for both dine in and take out and allows you to sit inside or outside doing either option. They have an extensive menu with a good variety of options. I really like the wine wall they had located in the back of the restaurant as well as the wine refrigerators so customers could also grab a cold bottle. The service was quick and good and drinks came in a timely manner. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and I really enjoyed the drink. The latte was perfectly made and the coffee bar there is definitely a hidden gem of the shop. read more

Pizza and Mediterranean cuisine in a casual setting at reasonable prices. This is our go to spot when eating before a show at the KC. Food is pretty good. On a recent visit, tried an eggplant slathered in tomato with a fresh cucumber salad and dark rice. Perfectly delicious. The ambience is cozy, the walls are filled with fresh wood and there is a warm feeling to the place. You have to go to the cashier and order and then they give you a number. The server will bring you your food. Pre-Covid, this place was always full before a show. Now it seems to have slowed down a bit but I'm sure that will change in due course.... read more

Stopped here on a whim since it was right across from the Kennedy Center. Simple and nice ambience and the person who took my order was friendly. I tried the Moroccan Lamb entree. It was okay. Nothing special. Tasted flavorless to me and didn't taste authentic and was on the bland side and could use some actual seasoning. So would I try this place again? I wouldn't go out of my way to, but try for your self. You may have better look with another entree. read more

I'm in the Washington Chorus that performs at the Kennedy Center. I desperately needed food before a dress rehearsal and was a bit nervous it wouldn't be good since it's the only place around (literally across the street!). I stand corrected! I've gone twice in the last few weeks. You order at the register, take your number and both times I was served quickly. Ordered the kale salad - very good, fair amount of dressing in case you want to ask for it on the side - and the chicken gyro which was huge. Thumbs up! read more

Great place but be aware that reservations are now required if dining before a Kennedy Center event.

Got some brunch here and it was solid. Went with the grass-fed corned beef hash (which was cooked perfectly), sautéed onions, topped with two cage-free eggs, served with baby potatoes and house-made sourdough toast. The food was fine, nothing special. I was fed well and left. I would like to try their pizza in the future. read more

Its a small cafe right across from the Kennedy Center- perfect for a bite to eat before a performance, but if outdoor seating isn't available, its very small inside. You order at the counter, then get a number and try to find a table to eat at. This is where the staff gets five stars easily. With three kids with us getting hungry quickly, they directed us to a table, cleaned it off quickly, and even brought over an extra chair. Some of the friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever seen. The food was not quite as great though. The caprese salad was OK, with a very small portion of mozzarella. The burger was decent but on the small, thin side. The chipotle chicken sandwich was really lacking in flavor. The pizza was by far the best of the choices and what I would go for next time, but even that wasn't that memorable. There just aren't a lot of options near the Kennedy Center unless you are willing to walk over to the GWU area. read more

This is our go-to place before any Kennedy Center event. The food is good, with decent-sized portions and a wide selection of options. Best of all, it's right across the street for the KC. I usually have either one of their dinner-sized salads or a pizza. That plus beer and some gelato after provide all the nutrition I need for a play, musical, or concert. The only downside is that it doesn't have Internet. That's why I've been here a bunch of times, never checked in, and never had that looming check-in as a reminder to write a review. read more

We were in DC for a week and fortunately we found this place early on. It was in walking distance from our hotel. It was so good we went there every morning for coffee and breakfast. It was very clean with bright, inviting interior. The staff was always friendly and the food and coffee were excellent! I highly recommend! read more

Love this place. They are all set up for the rush of the pre-performance Kennedy Center crowd - food is great and comes out fast. Waitstaff is cheerful and helpful. Pianist Randolph provides a creative, perfect background. read more

If you are catching a show at the Kennedy Center, this is your spot. You can reserve tables, if you do it's like Europe - your table will have a reserved sign with your name on it. Otherwise, suggest one person order and the other snag a table. Seating is ample, but we decidedly were a second in front of the rush. Pizzas are a good size, and can be split between two. We did the hummus platter, a pesto chicken pizza and a bottle of wine (with gelato to go). Food will come up super fast so you will make your show! read more

There were plenty of options to pick from on their menu, something that sparked my eye was the moroccan lamb as it seemed delicious. The presentation looks great, but the flavors didn't go well together. I felt as if there was too much going on and should have been simpler. The couscous didn't go well with either the lamb or chickpea. The chickpea was my favorite part of this dish as it slightly spicy and lots of flavor. The lamb was sweet and tender but as I said didn't go well with couscous or chickpea. read more

I love Tazza! I relocated about 6 months ago, and my office is near Tazza. Over time, it has become a go-to lunch spot for me. I typically use public transportation for work, so I typically walk to Tazza. There is minimal street parking and garages nearby. Everything I've had here has been delicious. I love Mediterranean food, and Tazza does not disappoint. At times, it takes a while for you food, especially if it's busy. However, there is so much care taken to each plate that's presented. I particularly love the cilantro hummus and the grilled veggies panini (not pictured). They also have an assortment of desserts and gelato, which I have not yet tried, but it looks appealing in the case. Tazza is a great option if you're planning a visit to the Kennedy Center. It's also just a great place to meet and catch up with friends or coworkers. There are seating options inside and outside. Definitely one of my favorite spots! read more

Great location. Hit or miss service. Horrible pizza. I have been to this pizza place before and absolutely loved it! However, due to the pandemic, this pizza place went out of business and sold its location. The person who bought the building decided to change the cuisine to a Mediterranean place that still serves pizza because of the oven on site. They used to sell Gelato as the old place did as well however, I guessed they dropped the idea because it was too much work. Everyone at the table ordered pizza (4 different kinds). The couple we dined with have tried the Meditteranean food before and thought it was not very good. Little did we know that the pizza would be worse. This was some of the worst pizza I have ever had. Imagine overpriced pizza with store-bought sauce, cheap cheese drenched in olive oil. When you leave after trying to eat enough of your food to tie you over, you will be queasy and unable to eat anything else for the rest of the night. That is what you are signing up for when visiting this restaurant. The only reason this place gets business is because it is located right in front of the Kennedy Center. Save yourself the trouble and just buy a bottle of olive oil to drink. It will be cheaper that way and at least you'll have a better experience than spending time at this place. read more

Go to the register, order, pay, get a number and take a seat. That's the way they like to serve it up here. It's a buzzing place, live piano to set a mood though the business ness inside makes it an assault on the ears. Being across from the Kennedy Center it's perfect for early meal before a show. Weather permitting, the patio is pleasant enough to enjoy a meal and conversation with a friend. I enjoyed the Tandori Chicken Salad read more

Small Cafe across from the Kennedy center. Food was awesome, ambiance is great. When you walk in, you order to the far left and then go have a seat and they bring it to you. There were only two other couples when we got in at 11ish so our service was wonderful. Had the Angus burger and the Avocado Chicken salad sandwich with an app of Tzatziki. They have an outdoor patio that wasn't open because of the cold that looks like a great place and adds about 20 tables... and had their Gelato ... oh man that was good stuff!! read more

this place is not good. before i got served my food the waitress came up to me and wiped her nose then proceeded to give me my food. i also got served some really burnt pizza where if i had a restaurant i would never serve something as hideous as this. its marketed as italian but this is nowhere near italian food. no pasta btw! terrible service and this place is only getting one star strictly because of the latte that was served. read more

Food was tasty. A great place to go before a show at the Kennedy Center, but give yourself plenty of time because it's mad before a performance. read more

Pass for me because of the customer experience. You let me order the only burger on your menu, then later tell me you don't have it after you served my family their meals. It's 4pm on a Tuesday and I'm watching two people at one of three occupied tables eat it. Bet you'll find some for the reserved parties you have scheduled for tonight. Drink options with no sugar or caffeine - is bottled water. You tell me there are free refills on lemonade, but you don't honor it. You give three members of my party a half pickle, and I get a quarter. Paying extra for fries and a drink means you don't give me the chips that originally came with it. Food is fine, but after spending $100 on pretty simple stuff, there is a lot of room for improvement. read more

We were staying at the Watergate next door and were looking for a place serving breakfast after 11am. This place was a short walk from the hotel so we decided to pop in. The food was okay/underwhelming. My omelette was under flavored (no salt/pepper). The service was horrendous. The cashier taking our order sounded exasperated during the day entirety of our interaction. She didn't greet us, had no recommendations and wouldn't even point out the coffee menu when asked. Moreover, my husband's order was served considerably before mine so he was almost done by the time my omelette was served. read more

We loved their predecessor, Campono's, who fell victim to COVID, and we adore the new folks. They hired many of Campono's best employees for the kitchen, adjusted the menu to reflect the original of the new owners, and are turning out delightful food. The best of the best? Their Mediterannean chicken soup is sublime. The broth is delicious -- full of flavor and not too much salt. The ingredients are yummy. Vegetables are not overcooked and the chicken is perfect. Their Horiatiki village greek salad is one of the best salads I've had in Washington. I eat it maybe once a week and it remains fresh and delicious and satisfying. Want a treat -- eat it with a hot pita! Their pizzas remain among the two or three best such offerings in the Washington area. Tasty crusts and really good toppings, always perfectly done. Their breakfasts are unique. My fave is the egg with tomatoes, known as Shakshuka. Protein, vegetables and a touch of carbs. Add tons of flavor! Finally, they continue Campono's tradition of offering what is arguably the best gelato in Washington. Try the coconut and the vegan chocolate. YUMMY! read more

First visit to Tazza as the pizza recommendation was right no. However, when two pizzas come out in 15 min, and you're Avgolemono Soup which is the soup of the day still takes another 20 min to come out after asking twice for it. NO GOOD SOUP REVIEW FOR YOU! Not to mention when I finally get it, one of two things happened; The skimmed whatever was off the top of the soup pot and threw it in my bowl with little to no orzo or chicken or I got the last of it and they had to pour in more stock. In any case it sucked! read more

Reviewing for their Shakshuka. Sweet café near the national mall. A bit on pricey side but glad we stopped by. We went around 11 am and there was plenty of space for us to enjoy our time here. Shakshuka was perfect with poached eggs, tomato and bell pepper sauce, that comes with side of toast. We also ordered croissant because we love dipping bread to the tomato sauce. It came out to be around $18 with tips which I felt was slightly on the pricier side than I had hoped for. Shakshuka was about $13, and croissant was about $3. read more

I so wish I would have taken a picture of the amazing chicken gyro I had here. It was so great! The chicken pieces were the perfect size, seasoned well and piled high! The tomatoes and onions were sliced thin and well distributed. The tzatziki sauce and pita bread were also great. It was so good that I assumed there were multiple pics of it already on yelp that I didn't want to add test another one, but now that I look at yelp there are none! It was so fantastic!! I went back later that night (was staying at the watergate for a conference) and got the hummus and it was good as well. I generally like my hummus with a more garlicky flavor, but this was good and smooth and I appreciate the addition of the olives on top. I did take a pic of the gelato selection to send to my son back home (not too many gelato options in our town). I didn't try any, but it looked really tasty for sure!! read more
