L’Ardente Menu Prices

L’Ardente is a timeless Italian culinary experience for this moment ~ featuring live-fire grilling, hand-made pastas and pizzas in an atmosphere of approachable elegance.

Glittering chandeliers float below wooden farm beams. Wisps of fragrant smoke linger inside a gold-plated pizza oven. Sumptuous fabrics meet impeccable ingredients. This is L’Ardente, the latest hospitality venture from the award-winning team behind Unconventional Diner.

The concept reflects the glorious contrasts of Italy itself: haute yet simple; glam yet rustic; indulgent yet restrained. Above all, it’s a destination DC deserves right now, a Mediterranean balm in the heart of the capital.
