$$$$ • Italiana • Dupont Circle
La Tomate blends an old-world European bistro atmosphere with a familiar, contemporary charm. Our focus on quality, hospitality, and lasting relationships has made us a Dupont Circle staple for nearly 4 decades. Our menu celebrates the essential Italian cooking—fresh, simple, and flavorful—crafted with artisanal care and local ingredients. From handmade pastas and daily baked bread to house-made gelato and desserts, every dish reflects our passion for tradition with playful twists. Signature handmade pastas include our seasonal ravioli, squid ink linguine and classic fettuccine. Our popular desserts include from Parmigiano Reggiano gelato with strawberry confit to Greek yogurt panna cotta and spiced chocolate mousse. Dine on our beautiful patio, recently named one of D.C.’s best by The Washington Post, or at our iconic bar, perfect for people watching. From private events to intimate dinners, happy hour to weekend brunch, we’re proud to be your neighborhood bistro since 1987.
