About Paper Moon
Though it’s located just steps from Georgetown’s bustling streets, Paper Moon transports diners back to the Old World hearth with homey steaks, pasta, seafood, and Italian specialties cut with creamy sauces and delicate herbs. The kitchen’s dedication earned the notice of the Washington Post, whose critic noted that "regulars praise the pizza, made in a wood-burning oven," before admiring the "wall-mounted fountains, terra-cotta friezes, tiled floors, potted palms, and touches of tapestry and red velvet” that populate the expansive dining room. Filled with the brassy sound of big-band swing, the dining room comfortably hosts big events, including group dinners, family gatherings, or a giant’s quinceañera.
