Claudio’s Table, an urbane trattoria in the Palisades, dishes up the Italian food that Chef/Owner Claudio Pirollo and Executive Chef Alessandro Pirovano grew up eating and cooking. Chef Pirollo is no stranger to the neighborhood; his nearby Et Voila French/Belgian restaurant has been a local favorite for a decade and a half.

For his Italian restaurant, Pirollo’s smart renovation has given the storefront space (formerly DC Boathouse) an airy, modern feel with an impressive overhead wine display, a welcoming bar and an open kitchen showcasing the cooks.
