Tried Il Piatto during restaurant week for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised! DC has tons of Italian restaurants so sometimes good ones are hard to find but I enjoyed this place. I ordered the arugula salad and the rigatoni! Both were delicious.

Excellent food and service. Tugrul was an attentive and friendly server, but all the waitstaff and management took great care of us. The soup and steak specials were extraordinary and the burrata appetizer was a solid choice. All around a fantastic evening.
