International Dining in DC

Sette Osteria

A Southern Italian inspired restaurant, they have switched up the menu since last I had been. A number of out door tables line the busy Conn Ave sidewalk, good for people watching. Indoors is a medium sized dining area. the bar is large with several TVs. The Plates of food are a bit small for me and are decent priced. The restaurant is situated in an office building ground floor so the decor in side doesn't really go with the buildings large glass windows. Note: do not sit next to the windows during the winter months a draft is felt and do not sit next to the doors leading out on the patio you will feel the heat from outside and the servers go in and out there.

Opened to much fan fare along 14th St. the area was craving an Asian inspired restaurant and this is one of the best around! It's very dim inside the only light is from the candles from your table, It can get a bit loud in there due to not allot of decor, but that's the fun of it! it's very minimalist. the dining room is medium size, and a very small bar I've yet to see anyone sit at, and outside it a limited number of tables. The food is very good here and great service.
