Last week I tried Tomate on Connecticut Avenue just north of DuPont and was not impressed. Its an Italian bistro with a nice simple decor and some of the tables by the windows have great people watching, but all in all the food wasn't great and the whole place seemed rather un-interesting. I went on one of those DC summer nights where it feels too hot to eat so I ordered a tomato soup that said it was "room temperature" assuming it was going to be like a gazpacho, but it was pretty much normal hot tomato soup temperature (maybe "room temperature" has a different meaning in DC's sweltering summer months?). I also had melon and proscuitto the most delicious italian appetizer in the world, which was good. My friend got the salmon which I tried and it was really fishy and overcooked. I think there's probably a lot of places that will give you better Italian food for your money!
