Food was good but we went to celebrate our marriage, and there was nothing special or extra provided beyond a card that said anniversary despite stating prior several times prior to going we were celebrating getting married. Also waited 25 mins to be seated. Just overall expected more for Michelin star

I had a great experience dining at Bresca! Our service was fantastic contrary to some other reviews. The food was soooo delicious. We did the 4 course tasting menu and everything was amazing. Our favorites were the summer salad and the “snacks” they served. Would absolutely recommend!!😁
A must visit in DC, one of the few Michelin star restaurants in the District. You can opt in for a tasting menu, or order a la carte, which we did. The service was impeccable, the bartender was on point with her take on your favorite spirits (I really enjoyed the presentation and the dishes, too). The scallop appetizer was probably my favorite, and the wagyu beef a close second. You definitely need reservations. There are also outside enclosed yurts but they are right on the busy street sidewalk so didn’t look too appealing for me.
