Everything was so delicious. We had the burrata appetizer, parmigiana pinsa, grigliata di pesce, and the rose water cotta for dessert. Everything was so, so tasty and the service was great. Love that it’s BYOB as other reviewers have mentioned. They have both indoor and outdoor seating – both areas have a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to others. Looking forward to returning!

Walk by everyday and had no idea how good the food is here. I was legitimately blown away. The pasta amatriciana was better than some that I had in Rome. Our waiter said the chef is actually from Rome which is why it was so authentic. The burrata, meatballs, octopus and pastas were incredible. I’ll go as far as saying this is one of the best italian restaurants in the city and rivals Fiorella

Loved it! Zack was our waiter and host. He was so polite, very professional, kind and hospitable. I felt like my friends who were visiting from DC/MD and my family felt like VIP. I am sure they treat every guest well but it’s dually noted how much patience they have as a team and patience. We truly enjoyed the special as well and all the 20 diff options we consumed as a family. SPOT ON! Keep up the great work! We will be back.

Delicious Italian byob in graduate hospital area. The food is high class which you wouldn’t know looking at the restaurant. It’s in a new Construction building and doesn’t look like this fancy food would be served here. Service was also lovely and super friendly. Pasta plates cost around $15-20, with some $20-30 entrees on the menu.

Wow! Can’t say enough good things about this place. Amazing food – we had the gnocchi and the pesto pappardelle which were both delicious. It’s also BYO so you can bring your favorite wine and enjoy the night on the outside patio with great atmosphere. To top it off, the service was spectacular from the waitress to the owner who came in and checked on our table multiple times. This is our new go-to Italian spot for sure!

Been to L’Anima 3 times now. It’s a great Italian BYOB, definitely a sleepy gem in the neighborhood. The outdoor seating is simply perfect for the summer and indoors open and spacious in the winter. The pasta dishes are fresh, with a good mix of seafood and meat choices. On my most recent visit I got their saffron linguine special with crab meat and my GF had chicken cotoletta which was a breaded chicken filet with buratta. The crab meat was so good and there was a lot, the filet was perfectly cooked and the burrata was great too. We love having this place in the neighborhood, def worth a visit.

Excellent BYOB. Clean modern space. Saffron pasta special with crab was delicious. Appetizers were good as well. Our server, Liz, was professional.

We dined on their large patio to celebrate our anniversary. The early June weather was nice, so most people were eating on the patio, though a few ate inside. If you eat an early dinner, the sun will still be above the buildings, but L’anima has plenty of shade, so it’s not a problem. FYI, it’s BYOB.
