The beautiful, Genoan village of Lavagna has long been known for its abundant slate production, quarried in the Capenardo and S. Giacomo mountains nearby. Over the years, "Lavagna" became synonymous with "chalkboard".
The menu at Lavagna portrays our idea that food should be just like a chalkboard: simple, fresh, and innovated often.
Lavagna relies on a network of trusted local farmers for the ingredients that form the basis of our simple, contemporary Italian dishes. Our ever-changing menu reflects the best that the season has to offer.
Lavagna encourages reservations, especially for parties of 5 or more but always welcomes walk-ins, wanderers and those looking to have a meal or a drink in good company. You may also make reservations by calling us at (202) 546-5006.
We will reach out to parties of 5 or more to confirm your reservation. If you have a preferred method of contact (text message, email, phone), please let us know in your reservation notes and we'll be happy to oblige!
In order to ensure that all of our guests have a great experience, we are only able to seat complete parties.
A great gift for any occasion, Lavagna gift cards are now available for purchase online!
