The Red Hen in DC has received glowing reviews from diners for its authentic Italian cuisine, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. Guests praised the appetizers like whipped ricotta and arancini, as well as pasta dishes that were perfectly al dente and intensely flavorful. The cozy yet rustic ambiance with intimate seating options adds to the overall dining experience, though it's recommended to make a reservation to secure a table. While the prices may be on the higher side, diners felt that the quality of the food and service justified the cost. The friendly and attentive staff, along with delicious dishes like squid ink linguini, burrata, and scallops, make The Red Hen a must-visit restaurant in DC for a fantastic Italian dining experience.
