Nicoletta Italian Kitchen, located in Mount Vernon Triangle, is a new neighborhood restaurant, featuring our take on Italian classics we all love and crave: pizza, chicken parm, homemade pastas alongside a vibrant bar and cocktail program and wine list. Nicoletta’s signature pizzas (most notably our Calabrese with thick-cut pepperoni, fennel sausage and red onion) and warm, convivial service have instantly become a favorite of DC locals and visitors alike.
