I really love Fiola Mare. The food here is incredible and the service, ambiance, crowd, and location are unparalleled. I give it five stars because I truly had an incredible meal and a fantastic time. It's all about the details and they are superb at covering all bases. A little extra goes a long way and they've mastered the art of cuisine.

The service was great - just the right pace and right amount of attentiveness. Although we had reservations and it took them a bit of time to seat us, the hostess really made an effort to accommodate our large group despite how busy they were. It was understandable that some patrons decided to linger because it was after all a lovely summer evening when we dined. Our server was very cordial and paid attention to our individual needs despite being a large group of 9.

Location wise, I understand why Fiola Mare is a hot spot. It's right in front of the Georgetown waterfront and you get free access to the most breathtaking views, even at night. The interior is classy; gorgeous inside but still rustic, warm and inviting. Truly a cool restaurant space.

As for the food, it was such a delightful meal. My friends seemed to be in agreement about how delectable their own orders were. What I got to try were the lobster ravioli, under the sea, and donuts. All were flavorful and satisfying; cooked perfectly. The foie gras on Under the Sea was incredible and the entire dish was just a seafood delight, yummy to nth power.

This was my first time going, but I am certain I'll be back for so much more. The summer sun was in full force when I visited but I can't wait to see what chef Trabochi has in store this winter with a new season of produce. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! DC is very lucky to have Fiola Mare! Best restaurant in town.
