Il Canale – Authentic Neapolitan in the Heart of Georgetown
Joe Farruggio’s concept was to create a family restaurant where everyone is welcome and feels comfortable. His dining philosophy has always been to make the best pizza Napoletana in the world and create an outstanding authentic Italian food experience you will enjoy with family and friends.
Our real wood-fired oven imported from Napoli, ensures extraordinarily tasty, juicy, soft and authentic pizzas, using the finest, Italian toppings and organic Italian “00” flour. We also make every morning house-made pasta and wood oven bread.
Discover Il Canale, an award winning Sicilian family-owned gem serving Washington, DC’s best VPN-certified Neapolitan pizza, baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven imported straight from Italy. Beyond pizza, our full Italian kitchen brings the flavors of our homeland to your table including but not limited to antipasti, pastas, seafood, meats, and fresh bufala mozzarella flown in from Italy.
Relax at our blue-lit bar, where you’ll find an impressive wine list showcasing a collection of Italian wines each handpicked to capture the romance of Italy in a glass. Pair them with imported Italian beers or classic cocktails, and linger in an atmosphere that feels as vibrant as Georgetown itself. When the weather is warm, enjoy dining al fresco on our sidewalk patio or the rooftop terrazza, with sweeping views of the Georgetown scene.
Join us for Happy Hour, Monday through Friday from 3–6 pm, featuring $5 beers, $5 wines, $7 spritzes, and snack-size portions of our most-loved appetizers (available at the bar and outdoor seating).
Join us for Brunch on Sunday's from 11am-3pm to enjoy an Italian inspired brunch menu including $29 bottomless mimosas.
Conveniently located just steps from M Street—you’ll find Il Canale as the second restaurant on the left.
