This cozy setting for modern Italian favorites specializes in seafood. For privacy, ask for table No. 15.

I've been going to Al Tiramisu for a few years. It's an old friend. Fish is done very well and there are always several specials. The wine list, while pricey, does have a few affordable good ones. The waiters usually know how to steer you. Really a great spot.
I had diner here this past Sunday evening and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visit's DC. Our host requested to be served as they do in Italy's restaurant's with 5 small samples from the pasta portion of the menu and an entree for the main course. One of my favorite's was the ravioli filled with butternut squash. For an entree, I had the veal chop... soooo very delicious. The food and the service was superb. I don't know what the others were talking about, because my experience was very enjoyable. Thanks Al Tiramisu for such a delicious meal!
This was our first but not last visit to DC. The people we met were all so friendly and the restaurants have been amazingly good.....except for this place. The management were extremely arrogant and rude. Our waiter was too busy with a another table so the boss took us over. Our first mistake was saying we didn't want wine. The glasses were RIPPED from our table.The salad tasted like wet lettuce with oil. We asked for some vinegar and he literally slammed the bottle on the table. The answers to our menu questions were short and curt. Local diners were embraced. Our reservation was made by a hotel employee. So if you are a visitor here my advise would be to dine somewhere that will appreciate your patronage. Food wasn't THAT good.
The WaPo review from 05 is outdated. We went for a special dinner on a Sunday (many other Itln restrts were closed) and we had the worst dinning experience ever. Problems occurred immediately when we ordered cocktails instead of an over-priced bottle of wine. I have ordered enough Itln reds from better restrts to know that the wine list at Al Tiramisu was criminal. Our waiter became rude and he vanished for long periods. When we asked for bread, he informed us that we had to order first (the $60 of cocktails did not count?). Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and could not come close to redeeming the poor service. Our finished plates sat on the table for 15-20 minutes. The check was delivered w/o comment. Dessert was not offered. AVOID !
