Imperfecto is a restaurant by Enrique Limardo and the team behind Seven Reasons. The restaurant is inspired by the intersection between the Mediterranean & Latin American Cultures, and sustained in Enrique Limardo's bold culinary approach.At Imperfecto we believe that human beings are not perfect. We are far from perfect. We are Imperfect. And it's imperfection that moves us forward and shows us how to improve.The restaurant design is inspired by Greek culture. The oldest definition of "perfection", goes back to Aristotle, who defined the concept in three: which is complete; which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better; which has attained its purpose.At Imperfecto, we know that a restaurant space is not complete if it’s not filled with people; that we will try our best to maintain the highest levels of creativity, flavors and service; and that we will always pursue our purpose of bringing magical culinary experiences to our guests.

    Outstanding first experience at Acqua Bistecca DC for our family of three commemorating Mother's Day. Excellent service: Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, gave excellent recommendations, was on top of all our needs. Delicious food: We had the Chef's Tasting Menu with about 15 dishes served family style in three courses and all of them were incredible, this is not an exaggeration. Beautiful space and wonderful ambiance: Modern-chic decorated space with comfortable seats, high ceiling, impressive, elegant bar. Excellent drinks: Two delicious and beautiful cocktails and a Peroni beer. Beyond expectations: Received complimentary home-made limoncellos and a bottle of also home-made Bloody Mary mix. Highly recommend this beautiful and outstanding restaurant.
