where: L’Ardente @lardentedc (Washington, DC 📍)
went here for a date night and was not disappointed by the food, the drinks, the hospitality, or the ambiance 😍 L’Ardente is a “Glam Italian Restaurant” and they live up to that name. their pizza is cooked inside a gold-plated pizza oven their pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. my favorite pasta dish is carbonara, so i had to try theirs. the egg yolk was the perfect consistency, the guanciale (pork cheek) had a great saltiness that added to the flavor of the dish, and the black pepper topped everything off 🥰 check out the second slide for my yolk break 🤩🥚my date had the 40 layer short rib lasagna, and i almost liked it better than my dish! it was amazing to say the least and i highly recommend! our pizza was fresh and the ingredients were as well 🍕 the arancini, which is fried mozzerella with rice, saffron, and drizzled with calabrian chile oil, was absolutely delicious and a perfect start to our meal 😁 our drinks were phenomenal and had awesome presentation 🍸 for dessert we tried their popular tiramisu flambé which is lit on fire at your table. the compliments of chocolate and the passion fruit was something i wasn’t expecting, but absolutely loved it! 😍 check out the video of the tiramisu on slide 6! overall i have no complaints of L’Ardente and can’t wait to go back! perfect for a date night or girls night out ❤️
