Standing the test of time…

DeCarlo’s Italian Restaurant is known as a local institution, since 1980, where the charm of yesterday still exists. DeCarlo’s menu features a well-balanced mix of homemade pastas and breadsticks, Mediterranean-inspired seafood and daily specials. 

After 42 years in Spring Valley, DeCarlo’s has moved into a beautiful new location at the historic Westchester on Cathedral Avenue. With two welcoming dining rooms, a charming terrace overlooking the park, and a magnificent bar you will enjoy fabulous Italian food that has delighted generations of Washingtonians.

Owner Lucy DeCarlo and her staff are dedicated to Italian tradition and devoted to providing you with excellent service and quality.

Our intimate seating and quiet, upscale ambience make a perfect setting for you to catch up with friends, enjoy the company of family, entertain colleagues, or celebrate special occasions. 

When you dine at DeCarlo’s, you'll see why we're a true favorite with locals and long-time regulars. It's more than food, it's a true Italian experience.
