Best Food on Capital Hill – Every one was so great, from the person who greeted us at the door ,to the guy who brought the dessert, we were definitely taken care of. We asked our server to bring us two different dishes that were her favorite, oh my gosh! The ravioli was crazy good! We could have eaten it all night!
If You Enjoy Being Treated Like Dirt – You're treated as though you should be grateful they allowed you into their restaurant. If they get a triple-A rating, it's for: Arrogant, Argumentative, and Adolescent.
Delicious food, great service. – You can't come to Machiavelli and not expect a wait. I have been here multiple times, and the hostess is always very sweet, informing us when our table is close to being ready. Once seated, we are immediately served water and bread with that addicting dipping sauce. So delicious. The meals are reasonably priced,too. If you want big portions, go to Olive Garden. If you want big taste, come to Machiavelli.
Best small eatery ever – This restaurant is obviously not for people who demand FULL PLATES so big that they have to roll away from the table, as the Richard character seems to imply. I've eaten here many times, I'm a guy, I'm not on a diet, and the food is plentiful. Perhaps Richard needs to learn a little bit about what a serving of food really is. And that "guys who think like girls" is about as annoyingly bigoted a line as I've ever heard. This restaurant is for people who understand the concept of small, authentic itali... read more
It is not fare, faire etc. – Small portions and if I hear the word quintensential again I am going to *&^$. What does it take to get a little more food on the plate. I will go again and order better. I live in the neighborhood and want this to be the place to be but I am slowly giving up. Sheeeeze.
I've only had awesome service here...not sure what these folks are talking about! – I'm so surprised to read the latest 2 'bad service' comments. We are in fact regulars who have had the pleasure of eating at Machiavelli's for years. Never once were we given special treatment and were allowed to be seated in advance of other customers. Either this was a once off situation or people had their name down but were waiting outside (as happens a lot in the summer). In regards to the customers who were asked to leave, I have to be ... read more
extremely rude service - not recommended – I had dinner here with a good friend and altough the food was tasty, I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. After we finished eating and paid our bill, we were chatting quietly at our table for a bit when a waitress came over and asked us to leave because other people were waiting for a table. I have never had wait staff ask me to leave a restaurant. I wish I could take back my tip. I will never return to Machiavelli's.
Hurtful Service...Machiavellian at best. – This restaurant was recommended to us by the front desk clerk at the Sherwood Hotel and Suites. When we arrived we were told we would have a 45 minute wait. No problem, the place must be worth it. We each ordered a glass of wine and asked if we could put the drinks on our bill. The bartender said they kept the bar and food accounts separate so we would need to pay for it now. Hmm...okay...this was different than what we were used to but okay. So it was a little disconcerting twenty ... read more
Consistantly good! – Really good, really dependable, really consistent. I'd listen to them when they tell you that everything is good. Not a super large menu. Extremely reasonable in price. Try their antipasto - super good. And yes, you have to wait. You have to wait because it is good and the food and drinks are reasonable and so lots of people want to eat there. Just plan on having a very, very cozy cocktail in the bar first and you will have fun. And a note to others who watch their calorie intake at restaurants like I do... read more
