Paper Moon Restaurant

I went on a date here last night and I loved this place. The atmosphere was excellent. The food was excellent and our service was excellent. This was my first trip to Paper Moon but it definitely won't be my last.

I chose this place at random, and what a great find it was. The ambiance is very nice though it was mostly empty when I was there (early evening). It actually made me feel like I was in Italy. The Fettuccine Alfredo was probably the best I've ever had. It wasn't too think like most places and tasted very fresh. My friend also described his ravioli's as "very fresh." The bread before the meal was mediocre but the olive (which I usually hate) and oil dip was very tasty. I wouldn't say the prices are the lowest, but for food that tastes that good it shouldn't be.

Had dinner here in mid-September and it was simply fantastic. Unlike most DC restaurants this one was large, with plenty of room between tables.
The menu was extensive featuring a good mix of northern and southern italian fare, but the specials were the real treat. I had a wonderful prosciutto salad and seafood stuffed ravioli, both were simply incredible.
We skipped deserts, but they had standard Italian fare including cannoli stuffed with ricotta cheese and chocolate chips, tiramisu and various Italian desserts.
Overall I'd highly recommend this restaurant, the food was superb, and the location is ideal, very close to CO canal and M street.
