Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
I can't imagine this place caring if you are not wearing a jacket. I would probably go to a place like that wearing khakis and a sweater.
Also, I've been reading WAY too much OOT, I read this as "Pooper" dinner attire. |

Filomena is a GREAT GREAT restaurant. I think as long as you wear business casual (khakis, polo, button down, etc), you will be fine. Jackets are definitely not required. Been there many times...

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
sfer, are you referencing El Diablo's mozz sticks thread or mocking my (and Jeffage's, apparently) choice of restaurants?
Either is fine, I'm just curious. -McGee |

Fried cheese tastes good period and I wanted to know how some sticks with a little care tasted. |

Mozzarella stick report
Thanks, guys. I was fine with the attire I was wearing.
Since sfer showed an interest, I went ahead and order the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer (along with the stuffed mushroom caps). They actually weren't sticks, per se; rather, they were large, triangular wedges, about an inch thick and maybe two inches on a side. They were certainly tasty, but not very different than your standard mozz sticks. They were a bit less greasy, and therefore lacked the aftertaste that you get with most sticks (and other fried appetizers) at cheaper restaurants that probably don't change their frying oil as much as we'd like. That alone probably made them the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had, but it's by a pretty small margin. The dipping sauce was a touch unique; rather than a marinara paste, it was halved cherry tomatoes and basil, sauteed together. It was good, although it's hard to get a cherry tomato to stay on top of a mozzarella stick. -McGee |

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
I don't know about their mozzarella sticks, but this is a very good restaurant and is one of the most popular Italian places in D.C. Dinner is probably in the $40 range per person and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting. Reservations on Saturday night are practically impossible. No, it's not Nobu-level in terms of fine dining, but it is certainly not a chain-type place.

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
You will be fine. Proper attire pretty much means just what you are wearing. If they needed a jacket or tie, they'd say so.
