"Had not been here for a while. Had a business lunch recently. Perfect table for 3. All three dishes: Rockfish, grilled Salmon and my favorite, squid-ink pasta with mussels. Dessert and Cappuccino were excellent. Service was good and the staff very friendly."

"I had no idea this restaurant existed despite having worked in the area for more than 10 years. What a find. There is something calming and a bit old-fashioned about Siroc, but it's not on the plates. The food is artful, engaging, and just plain delicious. I am not a fan of mixing mushrooms with fish, but they did it brilliantly with a red snapper filet on a bed of julienned green beans and the perfect swath of a cauliflower sauce. It was a business lunch, and a hurried one, but I still managed to unwind a bit. My guest only had a small plate...seared scallop with roasted artichoke and black lentils. She loved it. Prices are very reasonable, service very professional, and ambiance is dignified and befitting its Mediterranean accents."

"We found this by searching on the web from our hotel location. We were looking for a cute Italian place to eat and this was it. We walked from our hotel (added bonus - staying in Downtown DC). The entire experience was great. Food was wonderful. I couldn't decide so they suggested I try both meals I was deciding between. The cost was the same as choosing one meal - no added charges. We had a great time and would eat her again."

"We booked on a graduation day evening so it was busy and the weather was good enough for some outdoor diners. The restaurant is a nice size - I wouldn't call it small. The waitress and other staff were all friendly and attentive. At 8.15 the rain came down and all the outside diners had to be accommodated inside - the professional and speedy way in which this was achieved was areal credit to all their staff. The service and food remained very good during this episode with the chef reworking some dishes due to the interruption. I would certainly recommend this place to people."

"This was our second time here. The selections on the relatively simple menu were carefully balanced and all appealing. We apprecicated the prompt and attentive service, attractive presentation of each course, interesting and delicious food, and reasonably priced wine. All in all a delightful experience. If allowed we would rate it 4.5."

"Before visiting Siroc I heard nothing but great reviews from friends. I made reservations here for a special evening and it did not disappoint. The wait staff was incredibly nice (complimentary apps, and aperitif), and the ambience was perfect. The food was the only thing that did not live up to all the rave reviews. I'm not saying the food wasn’t delicious (fresh made pasta) but if everything else is in the restaurant ranks at a 5, the food would be a 3-4 at best, and that might be the most important factor."

"Food is bad. Ordered a frisee/fennel salad and got a plate with a huge mound of frisse. Really? Who eats greens like a horse? Goat cheese blobs tasted like paste. Dishes had no imagination nor style in food preparation.

"Two Canadian cousins and I dined at Siroc on Wednesday 8 pm. They wanted "really good food." We found it at Siroc. The duck entre and salmon appetizer were superb. One cousin has Parkinsons and reflexive movements that can cause some food to drop or a knapkin to slip off. The staff was gracious nonetheless. We were seated at a round table for 4 at the back partially in an alcove, which allowed more elbow room and privacy. It was perfect for us, and enabled hearing each other better and accommodated my cousin's occasionally dropping a piece of lettuce or her knapkin. The desserts -- chocolate souffle and the baked pear -- were delicious and were what caused by cousin to opt for Siroc in the first place when she reviewed its website."

"I will go back soon! Fab food!
I had arugula salad w/beets & black pepper tagliatelle w/sea scallops (love the option to order 1/2 portion of both salad & main meal) coupled w/glass of Chardonnay (Siema Vineyards). For dessert I had poached pear - fabulous end to a great lunch.
We ate outside - its great to have park across the street - a bit of greenery helps.
The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the service: she didn't make eye contact, was abrupt and it seemed she really didn't want to be there. My colleague was wondering where is that friendly Italian waiter/waitress who would fit so well in to serve this great food.
Overall, it was worth every penny. I will be going back and most likely ordering the same dishes ;-)."

The service has always been friendly as well as informative without bring overbearing. From start to finish I have always had good positive experiences at Siroc and look forward to many more."

"The restaurant advertises as being Italian, but it has a more diverse menu than that and not all that many Italian choices. The food was nicely prepared, but the place was rather crowded when we were there. They are expanding to build a bar and add a few more tables. We enjoyed our evening, but we felt that two other places we went to nearby were better."

"My wife and I both elected to eat multiple appetizers for dinner as they jumped off the menu to us. The stuffed squid with white beans was a delicate start. The sweetbreads were served with a tasty bread pudding with just the right touch of gorgonzola, not overtaking the dish, and the fried onion and veal sauce rounded out the best dish I had in my week in DC. My final app was the lamb sausage, set off by the olive sauce. Albeit a little salty, it again impressed with it's thought out combinations. The wine list is smallish but there's something for everyone. The by the by-the-glass Barolo is excellente. Kudos to the chef. A great place for a foodie's night out with that special someone."

"Friends from out of town wanted Italian for dinner before an evening stroll by the monuments and memorials, so Siroc it was. Staff was attentive throughout our early dinner (5:30), and the restaurant was quiet but not empty; we felt neither rushed nor ignored.

Their frisee and fennel salad is lovely - fresh and full of flavor, but not overpowering - and was enjoyed by our party of three. It's wonderful that you can order "half and half" of their pasta dishes, though none of us chose that option. Their butternut squash cappellacci is always delicious, and I love that their pasta is homemade.

While their hazelnut chocolate mousse is delicious, the gelato trio is refreshing and light - and manageable even after a full meal.

I'll be back!"

"Small, classy spot in the heart of downtown. Excellent service and fantastic food.
The pasta dish with duck & mushrooms is the best I have had in a long time. A half order split in two makes a great appetizer or side dish. They will substitute gluten free spagetti for the regular noodle on any of the great pasta choices. Took that option and it was so good I wanted more but am glad I did not fill up on this because the entrees were equally good. The filet was melt in your mouth tender - far better than you get in most of the best steak restaurants and fairly priced. The veal saltimbocca was huge and incredibly tender. The wine list has plenty of choices that are fairly priced. The service was very professional - not snooty or pushy."

"We went here after looking up where to eat on yelp, and we were not disappointed! The stuffed squid were very good as an appetizer (includes 4 pieces). For dinner the lamb and eggplant was fantastic and filling. For dessert the pear with red wine sauce was delicious and unique! Finally, the Service was very attentive and accommodating! Enjoy : )"

"Siroc has a remarkable kitchen. The food is very good, and consistently so. The space is small and they pack a lot of people in, so there is really no privacy for table conversation. The wine list needs a little work. It is limited and borders on the "too expensive for this restaurant" side of the ledger, but that's really not the attraction. The food is, and it maintains a high standard for excellence. The price point is moderate. Pasta is excellent, especially the scallops and bolognase. Have never had a bad meal there."

"Excellent choice for a business dinner. Pasta was cooked to perfection (i.e., not limp), the salads were delicious and fresh; the coffee was hot, and the service was outstanding. I love this restaurant"

"One of the best pasta dinners of my life...and I have lived in Italy. Gorgeous delicious mussels and scallops in the pasta dishes. Vanilla vinaigrette on the salad shocked me by being a delicious accompaniment without being sweet. The service was outstanding."

"I have now eaten here twice, and the food is very good, the service is good, and the prices are pretty reasonable for a downtown DC restaurant. Like a lot of restaurants, it's a bit noisy - not deafening like some places, but with soft-spoken colleagues it can be a bit difficult to hear (younger diners probably wouldn't have a problem, but for those of us middle-aged or older it can be an issue)."

"Our waitress was a bit pushy - seemed like she wanted us to order, eat and leave ASAP! The food was only OK - none of our 3 diners had a great meal. We ate outside, which was nice. Not sure why this restaurant rises to the top of Zagat's list."
