Shala RomanNovember 1, 2013A jewel located in the heart of Washington's Eastern Market specializing in homemade EVERYTHING. Decent prices and great personnel, experience the lamb risotto is you have an opportunity to stop by.
Bitches Who BrunchApril 29, 2015Lounge on the tiny front patio, ideal for people-watching, with your bottomless mimosas and chicken and waffles. Tell Steve we sent you for the sun. Read more
- Bitches Who BrunchMarch 23, 2016A nice happy hour with a dog-friendly patio. Don’t miss the handmade pasta, like the spaghetti Bolognese or bacon risotto. Go on a Sunday or Tuesday and get a half-priced bottle of wine with dinner. Read more
Behrad EatsMay 9, 2015The Risotto Bacon is a hearty and delicious brunch option at Lavagna. It's prepared with house made bacon, arugula, butternut squash, mushrooms, and mascarpone.
Ingrid WongDecember 22, 2016Fantastic brunch spot. Indulgent, satisfying, and generous portions. I highly recommend ordering anything that includes their potatoes, which are crispy and delicious. Be sure to make reservations.- Shala RomanNovember 2, 2013Had the opportunity to try several different things at the two year anniversary event- EVERYTHING was delicious! Bolognese was my personal fave but def trying the pesto next time. Love this place!
Yetta BungieMay 16, 2014A must visit restaurant on Barracks Row. This place makes their pasta in house. Delicious Local farmers provide the food. Vegetarian and Gluten Free Dishes are available.
I am a vegan. I know that my diet is difficult for a lot of places but they were amazing! When they found out they tried so hard to accommodate me and I really appreciated the extra effort.
Pete DeCarolisJuly 18, 2015Brunch is a great deal & delicious; love that the biscuits & gravy has a red gravy. Service is fantastic.- Friendly, warm, intimate. Great for dates and small groups. Three course meal is a very budget friendly option. Food is fresh, and local (eastern market is just up the block). good drink selection
- Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 11, 2014The Bitches Say: A+. Lavagna serves up a gourmet brunch with a great bottomless option and an amazing ambiance. Awarded with the Best Pancakes and Best Breakfast Potatoes awards of 2013!
Best brunch and as a scratch kitchen everything they make is fresh and delicious. Food is quick and service is always fast outstanding
Darby McQueenOctober 28, 2020We had the carbonara and it was so good. The pasta is Tucker and we loved it! The service was great - ask for Nate Brandon.- Saul GSeptember 30, 2017We loved the goat cheese omelet and the chicken & waffles. The bottomless mimosas were a winner. Would brunch here again!!!!
I haven't gotten a meal here that I didn't like. Plus, the mimosas are bottomless for just $12--what else could you ask for at 11am on a Saturday?
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012For $20 you get unlimited mimosas, belinis and Bloody Marys. That’s the kind of special that turns a little brunch with a few girlfriends turned into a wonderful 3-hour catch up session. Read more
Since everything is from scratch they are especially accommodating with gluten-free and other special diet requirements.
Pancakes are out of this world! Also $10 mimosas, this place is a must go for brunch. Great service.- Kyle ReimerOctober 31, 2015Great brunch, Italian sausage is legit, and nothing wrong with bottomless mimosas.
- Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 12, 2014Bitches Who Brunch voted Lavagna the best overall brunch, best pancakes, and best fruit plate in 2012!
John DaytonJune 10, 2016Brunch was amazing! And a great job keeping that bottomless mimosa glass full...
Shelby Bell PikeApril 8, 2012Yummy. Simple. Casual Italian food. Fresh pasta dishes. Small, unpretentious menu. Pasta half sizes are too small for entrees.
Your mimosa glass will never be empty. Definitely one of the best brunch places I've ever been to.
CarolynJune 8, 2012Mushroom risotto is excellent, and their steak was good for an Italian place. Half sizes are pretty small, though. Not enough for even a small entree.
Love the "All Aboard" prix fixe 3-course. (not just for restaurant week) Great deal, delicious food.
Matt SilvermanSeptember 16, 2013At brunch? Ask for the homemade ketchup with your truffled potatoes.
$20 bottomless drinks at brunch. Includes mimosas, bloody marys, bellini bar and prosecco.
Head to the upstairs wed-sat for happy hour all night and the best bartender in dc, Travis Chambers
Luis BetanzoJuly 19, 2011Some of the best calamari I've ever had. The spaghetti in clam sauce was great.
Dan NavarraSeptember 14, 2013Service was so so. Friendly but less than attentive. The pesto rigatoni was off the charts amazing though.
