La Tomate Bistro | Italian Restaurant in Washington, D.C
About
La Tomate: your neighborhood Bistro since 1987
Restaurateurs since the early 1970s, Natalina and George Koropoulos opened La Tomate in 1987, when Dupont Circle was an up-and-coming area of Washington D.C. Family-owned and operated, La Tomate has been a landmark in Dupont Circle - a neighborhood bistro proudly serving our local, out-of-town and international clientele.
Originally conceived as French bistro, since 1988, La Tomate has featured regional Italian cuisine complimented by friendly service and warm ambiance.
Our menu is characterized by fresh, simple, but flavorful ingredients. We serve local, naturally raised products whenever possible, and favor no-frills recipes, to offer bistro style, comfort-food “alla Italiana.”
Why is La Tomate is a Local Favorite?
For almost 4 decades, we have been committed to providing quality service and excellent Italian food in a warm and familiar atmosphere.
Enjoy our fresh pastas including ravioli, linguine and tagliatelle prepared in-house using artisanal techniques and the finest ingredients. Our clients adore our oven-baked bread, prepared from scratch with love each morning, along with all of our desserts.
Occupying an iconic triangle shaped building flanked by windows, our dining room is a cozy corridor for people watching onto Connecticut avenue.
La Tomate's outdoor patio offers splendid vistas onto Dupont' bustling neighborhood. Covered for winter months, enjoy outdoor seating on the patio year-round.
We are committed to being your local Italian bistro and invite you to join us for a casual lunch, dinner, or our weekend "Buono, Buono" brunch. Stop in for an "aperitivo" and light-fare or a La Tomate signature cocktail, coff-tail or mock-tail.
