  • I had driven by DC Pasta a number of times on my way home from work and had been meaning to stop in. This weekend I had that opportunity. I had the polenta appetizer with roasted Brussel sprouts, pancetta and Parmesan; followed by the linguini carbonara with truffled cream sauce; finished with the chocolate mousse for dessert. Service also included fresh bread served with a white bean purée with olive oil instead of butter, which I found interesting (in a good way). The polenta was well-prepared, served in a warm bowl. There was enough for two. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, but a little bit too much sauce for my liking. Not so much that I didn't finish all of it, mind you, but I would have preferred just a little bit less. The chocolate mousse was light and airy. Not particularly "rich," which is what I was thinking, but still very good, with a hint of cinnamon. I was also told that the mousse is homemade. Pasta dishes come in two sizes: Media $9 or Grande $18. Had I been thinking, I would have ordered two (2) media sized pasta dishes, rather than one (1) grande dish, so I could have tried another one of their sauces and pasta styles. This practice is encouraged by the staff (accept for mine apparently) as I had overheard many of the other wait staff make this recommendation to other parties (after I had already ordered). On that note, a "media" sized pasta dish, along with the bread, and a small salad would be more than enough to satisfy most appetites. My girlfriend had the Vedure Misti salad (mesclun mix, Brussel sprouts, apple, fennel and a balsamic vinaigrette); and a "media" pumpkin ravioli and it was enough. Overall it was a fine experience. I gave it 3-stars because it was good. And that's just it. It was "good." It wasn't "sooo good," or "out of this world," it was just "good." I think Italian is one of those cuisines that is very difficult to set apart from the others. This isn't Olive Garden by any means, but it's not really any better than Bucca di Beppo or Bucci's J Bella across the street. The food was good, the service was good, the restaurant is clean; I really don't have anything bad to say. In fact, I would say that you will have a really nice dining affair at DC Pasta and I will go back; I am just not in a big hurry to do so is all.
