“ We ate in this restaurant on multiple occasions during a weekend trip to D.C. The service is top tier. The restaurant decor is very inviting and the tables/flooring were clean. They have a nice bar area too for a quick bite/drink. You can sit in front of the chef’s and eat too. The brick oven pizza is so delicious. The crust has a wonderful crunch and the toppings were wonderful. I really liked that they offered mixed olives as a topping. The meatballs were flavorful, moist, and delicious. I definitely recommend stopping by and it’s affordable. ”

“ Had dinner with a large group while in DC and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great, and the drinks hit the spot. I highly recommend the mozzarella balls appetizer—it was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken fettuccine, and it was top-notch. I’d definitely come back! ”

“ We just wandered it and was glad we did. What we ordered was very good (brushcetta assortment and pizza), as were the drinks, prices are what you'd expect and maybe a little lower. Friendly service, and would certainly choose it again if Italian was what we wanted. ”

“ I ate breakfast every day at this hotel restaurant during a week long day. It’s convenient, the food is delicious, although sometimes when they are very busy, service can be just a bit slow. Overall, I was happy with the consistency and flavor of the food, and Bony was always quick to seat me and serve me. ”

“ While staying at the Royal Sonesta, I had an opportunity to partake at Certo! a couple of times and absolutely loved the space. Not only is it cute and roomy, but the bar was pretty vibrant and fun and there's a lot of extra back rooms that allow for more of a smaller private gathering. Service here was absolutely wonderful. Every bartender was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I did have the opportunity to try a couple of items to include the muscles which were really good and the pizza which I topped with arugula and onions. Overall great experience and I'll definitely be back. ”

“ Certo Fantastico! Coastal Italian flare is felt in the trendy upscale ambiance and in the delicious food popping with flavor. I recommend the lobster ravioli, pipe sausage, and meatball sliders. Our waiter, Hicham is primo, he was on top of everything and made our experience fabulous. ”

“ Certo Restaurant is a delightful dining experience that I can't recommend enough! I recently visited for breakfast, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food and the warm ambiance. I ordered the omelette, and it was absolutely perfect—fluffy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. Each bite was a wonderful combination of textures and tastes. The fruit bowl was equally impressive, featuring a vibrant assortment of seasonal fruits that were both refreshing and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who genuinely care about providing a great experience. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, making it a fantastic spot to enjoy a leisurely meal. Overall, Certo Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to dine. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a relaxing brunch, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit! ”

“ I have never been here prior and am honored to have been selected for another Yelp Elite Event. This restaurant has great options and a skilled mixologist with quality drinks to go along with the numerous dishes available on the menu. The atmosphere has a great vibe to it and is great for private hosted events which they cater to through the hotel and will meet the needs from smaller to larger crowds based on availability, space, timing and staffing. One of the greatest things that's stands out compared to most restaurants is that every single one of their ingredients is made from scratch. To include all sauces and pastas. Among the chef's favorites is lobster ravioli. Which at a later date I'll return to try and hope that it'll live up to the hype and have no doubt it will. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone whether it's a quick bite or celebrating something special. You can't go wrong and the prices are reasonable. Go ahead and walk on in or secure a reservation for the near future. ”
