Da Claudio Reviews

Solid neighborhood Italian in FiDi—Da Claudio feels welcoming and upscale without being stuffy. Food was tasty: handmade gnocchi with pesto was fresh and herby, bucatini arrabbiata had nice spice and al dente pasta, and the black linguine (squid ink) was rich with good seafood flavor. Portions generous for the area. Service was attentive, friendly, and professional—great recs on wine/pasta. Atmosphere cozy and elegant (warm lighting, spacious tables, intimate vibe), though it can get a bit noisy when busy. Great for a relaxed dinner downtown!

This restaurant is my first review ever. The host was welcoming and the overall experience was a gem due to the warm staff and delicious food. We dined on the polpetinni, lasagna, eggplant parm and creme brulee. All the food was so good. The craft cocktails were also amazing. Flora, our waitress, was attentive and just enjoyable. We will be back.

I am giving it a 2 star review because I am just really disappointed that the food isn't better. It's not hard to make it better. Just dont drown your fries in oil (honestly, every time, you judt drown them in oil and think thats what makes them good? Cmon). Don't add wasabi or whatever other nonsense your adding to your broccoli rabe, which makes it inedible, even for those of us who love our dark green cruciferous veggies, and just add better seasoning to your pasta. We live a few streets away and it would be pretty convenient if we only liked this place more. Especially since people are really lovely. But what the hell is happening in that kitchen. For the love of god. Just make it better.

Awesome authentic Italian spot with a great balance of casual and elegant feel. I walk by it all the time walking my dog and always enjoy seeing its ambiance. Finally trying it did not disappoint! Amazing wine, chicken, pasta, meatballs. And gave us an accommodating corner booth for my service animal. Lovely place.
