Trevi's Restaurant — Restaurant in Four Corners

Being that I worked at a real Italian restaurant before, it was ok. I would have never added croutons to the Mozzarella di Bufala, though. When I ordered the salad entrees, I was informed that they were large with a, “are you sure you want two salads? They are rather large.” If you want to inform me that they are large, why didn’t my server inform me that my rosé was going to be $99 for a glass? She didn’t even offer me a 6oz or 8oz; she just gave me a full glass. Be consistent in your service. Telling me the salads I ordered were large showed that you were trying to dissuade me from purchasing, yet you were upselling a $99 glass or rosé that I looked up online later? 😂 I ordered an appetizer, two salads because I like both, and an entree. I was using one of my salads (the carrots) as a side. If they’re large, there’s a thing called a refrigerator upstairs in my room. Plus my husband could have eaten the other half for my big excited eyes.

She was polite, but she served me like as if I was an unintelligent idiot and didn’t know my way around Italian food or a menu. If I give a server trust and the confidence to pair the wine with my salads, that means I’m skilled in ordering, not naive. I understand that yall probably don’t do wine tastings with your servers before service, after service,or on an off day, so they can be well-versed in a menu. But tell me what you’re ordering me. She didn’t even tell me where it was from, the tasting notes, or the year. I realize yall cannot afford Runners to explain what they are about to serve you like a real Italian restaurant. Of course I already know what I ordered, but go to iL Brutto in Austin or even Italy; you will learn how to run better restaurant. I think Gordon Ramsay should come in from kitchen nightmares to spruce y’all up. The server takes the order, the runner brings the food to the table and says what they are about to put down on your plate. They tell you the ingredients in the food. Instead of saying Lamb Scottadito, they would put the food down in front of you and say, “Lamb Scottadito from Happy Farms braised in San Marzano DOP blah blah with mint from Happy Gardens on a pea puree. It pairs well with this butter wine called XX from Italy 2019.”

I gave her 20% because she’s a shark and needs it to pay her rent or maybe car insurance, so I pity thee. But for $260 +, this was not iL Brutto or any Italian restaurant in DC.

I recommend avoiding this place like the plague and going elsewhere for Italian food, preferably 4.9 stars and up. I saved some for the room for my husband when he got back from seeing his kids and he didn’t even eat it.

Also, the Tiramisu’s would not beat my former co-worker’s Tiramisu. She beat Bobby Flay’s Tiramisu. 😆

Don’t take advantage of kindness because I’m just rating you the entire time. Please work at a restaurant trailer park, server. It fits. That’s the...

Horrendous Italian food. I was expecting upscale and authentic, but what I got was TV dinner microwave worthy. TLDR: Osteria Italian Kitchen in champions gate right down the road is more authentic and worth it than this place.

First indication something was off was the wine selection, very limited and mostly non Italian wines at ridiculous prices. Secondly was their bruschetta, which was like, 4 day old tomatoes they cut up and served on top of stale bread. They were pink, and not ruby red like fresh tomatos are. Third their buratta panzanella was mostly stale croutons with maybe 1/8 tomatos and 1/8 zucchini. Lasagna was laughable: 9 sheets of pasta with two layers of cheese in the mix (bagged cheese to be fair) and top layer with a little tiny bit of meat. (Menu says a mix of beef, veal and pork but to me tasted just beef and maybe pork). Sorry excuse for an Italian restaurant and if there is a they chef...

Staff was great, very pleasant and friendly and were very attentive. Beyond that, the only food I can compliment is the bruschetta, which was delicious and flavorful. We had a Flatbread which was very soggy and I didn't enjoy the flavor of the sauce. I ordered their hamburger as I wasn't interested in eating anything else 'Italian' from them. I ordered it cooked medium and it was served over well and very dry, the truffle fries we tasty, but served room temperature. My husband ordered the chicken parm after the recommendation from our waitress and it was one of the worst he has ever had. And if the food wasn't bad enough, as we sat there, it appeared that the grease trap overflowed into the restaurant, black fluid pooled in the area. The restaurant employees were very quick to address and begin clean up the area, but the smell that had was in the air, made finishing nonappetizing...
