While the salad was good, but heavy on the dressing, the lasagna contiues to be a standout! 4.5 stars only due to the dressing.

Bolognese was DIVINE and delicious, yet the price wasn’t crazy like most places on DD. So good! Would def order from this place again.

Good.. but the sauce is closer to a demi -glacé as opposedto a marinara. Makes sense being its more than likely ajus from the short rib.

Wow one of the tastiest pepperoni pizzas I've had in DC. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Every inch of the pizza is covered with pepperonis. Delicious crust. 10/10

Fabulous! This was a DoorDash order and I had never tried L'Ardente before. I got the Cesare and the zucca. The Cesare was mostly a Cesar salad but the lemon was more present. It has mint breadcrumbs instead of croutons and an anchovy dressing. It was SO good and interesting and fresh! The zucca was perfection. Nothing swimming in oil or sauce. Just a sausage ragu that was mostly sausage. The seasoning had some bite to it but it was perfectly balanced. And the right amount of meat to pasta, neither one outpacing the other. It's a bit expensive but I'm looking forward to eating there in person now. So many Italian restaurants pale in comparison.
