Come on in and experience the exquisite moment of dining in a true, Italian bistro at L’Ardente. With thick wooden tables, rustic Italian décor, and the smell of freshly baked brick oven pizzas wafting about in the air, you will never want to leave this amazing dining experience! 

At L’Ardente, you can experience a unique taste of the Mediterranean without ever leaving your home in Washington D.C. Come for the food but stay for the drinks and the exhilarating experience. Start off with one of the many, delicious appetizers such as the prosciutto di Parma, or the duck hunt truffle, which seem to be some of the most popular selections!  

Then make your way onto the lengthy, yet tasty, dinner menu. Some of the most popular items are the ravioli, the authentic Zucca with sausage ragu, or the Pollo al Mattone which is a whole chicken roasted to perfection with agrodolce glaze and salsa Verde. All dishes are truly and faithfully Italian-inspired. 

Finally finish off your meal the right way, with an adult beverage and dessert. With a wine list almost as long as your desired stay at L’Ardente, you will surely be impressed. If you’re more of a cocktail person, no worries- they’ve got them too! All of which pair nicely with the dreamy Tiramisu, the Torta al Cioccolato or even just some traditional soft serve ice cream, all on the dessert menu for your tasting. 

So come and dine with us at L’Ardente and get a taste of Italian pleasure.
