    This is a neighborhood gem that never disappoints For either good food or attentive service! We enjoyed a terrific meal with fun cocktails (and mocktails). The smoked duck breast was perfectly cooked, as were the homemade pasta dishes. If you're not getting the duck fat fries with your meal, get them as an appetizer! It's not as noisy as some other Bethesda restaurants and conversation was easy. The menu changes seasonally so we will be back to sample what's new.

    Our team went to Guapo's for a welcome lunch for a new colleague and had a great time. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had a nice room all to ourselves. The waitress kindly took group pics for us at the end to commemorate the occasion. We'll definitely be back!
