Radici

Somewhat pricey but great food and coffee with a really pleasant patio. Recommend going on weekends when the street is closed and the market is open. Best pastry is the strawberry yogurt, egg in a basket and prosciutto sandwich also very good

Cheese cakes were so good! Not too sweet, but creamy and thick flavor. the shop is so cute. I also enjoyed a lot having conversation with store owner from Italy.

Spent a Saturday at Eastern Market and was in search of a good cold brew. Came across Radici and looked like a good spot—the worst coffee I’ve ever had. One sip and tossed it out. Tasted like what I would think burnt Folgers would be. The staff wasn’t exactly very friendly either. Should have taken that as a sign to walk out the door. Maybe their other products are good but if you want an iced coffee, I HIGHLY recommend you go elsewhere.

Everything is perfect here! Very nice Italian owner, fresh food, good coffee (I had a cappuccino with perfect foam), great iced tea, super nice location, large terrace. What’s not to love?

Radici catered our daughter's first birthday party - which was themed "Alice in ONEderland" - with the most incredibly delicious "tea panini" and other small bites. Not only was everything so amazingly tasty, but they were also a delight to work with, making the whole process nice and simple. They were even able to accommodate the many diet requirements our guests had, making sure we had offerings for those who were gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian...and those who wanted ALL the gluten, dairy, and meat! We also purchased the wine and beer for the party from them, and the selections they offered were outstanding all the way around.

A fab neighborhood cafe with (Italian) market. Please come on weekend when the eastern market street is open. I love this place, delicious, cookies, tiramisu, sandwiches and drinks. Kiss -Olan

great coffee and terrace! great spot to work and get very high quality ingredients like pastas. not sure why you would go on the weekend like many replies suggest - the farmers market makes this place slammed. go on a weekday!

The place is clean, busy with customers, a few tables inside and more outside, the food flavor seems more authentic rather than the regular Italian restaurants I've eaten at. The employees are nice, cordial and knowledgeable.

Italy in one place in DC. Radici brings you Italy in the café. First, let’s talk about the design and ambience. The design is basic and very clean as well as the restroom. The tables are very clean and have two designs. My favourite spots are, the big wooden table inside, where you can sit and enjoy your drinks or snacks and strike a good conversation with anyone, if possible. and any table in the outdoors area, where you can enjoy the garden and the different views since the café is on a corner. The light is mixed between daylight and warm romantic yellow candle-like light. During the sunset the sunrays get into the place and makes a beautiful romantic scene.

Since it’s an Italian café, I should start by the coffee. One of the best espresso in DC. They use Illy Coffee from Italy. They know how to make genuine delicious Italian coffee, including Latte, Mocha, and many others. The pastry section has many options; my favourites are the orange cake, muffins, and ALL Italian pastries. The place has many sections, for instance, Italian wines (they bring them from Italy just for them), pasta (they make their own pasta from scratch), essentials for preparing Italian food, and Italian soft drinks like Sanpellegrino, which is my favourite, since hardly can you find it in D.C.

The cafe is very close to Eastern Market Metro station and Eastern Market itself is on the opposite corner of the cafe.

The owner of this place is an extremely nice gentleman from Italy and he works there himself, hence this place is always in an exquisite quality and well maintained. They need to put the place on Instagram and put more pictures on social media generally. Therefore, they can get even more customers. BTW, this place has hosted Michelle Obama once. Enjoy!

Love that they have outdoor dining during Covid! This was a lifesaver bc I needed to get work done - solid wifi. Also, staff was super friendly and attentive. Great iced lattes and pastry selection - also, they have a variety of packaged, imported Italian sweets, treats, and savory snacks.
