Hank & Mitzis 2025 Menu Guide: Handmade Pasta, Happy Hour Bites, and Brunch Innovation in One Authentic Italian Experience

In 2025, Hank & Mitzis continues to redefine neighborhood Italian dining in Washington, D.C.—blending heritage recipes with contemporary flair across three dynamic service formats: weekday lunch, evening dinner (Tuesday–Sunday), and a weekend brunch that’s quickly gaining a cult following. Every dish is anchored by a commitment to housemade ingredients, seasonal sourcing, and Italian culinary spirit.

Handcrafted Pasta, Daily
All pastas are rolled, cut, and filled in-house each morning. Signature dishes include the Fettuccine Bolognese, a slow-cooked Leeds family heirloom recipe featuring beef, pork, and oxtail—a true standout at $18 for dinner or $14 at lunch. Seafood lovers gravitate toward the Linguine with Clams ($21 dinner / $17 brunch) or the bold Shrimp Fra Diavolo ($25 dinner), while vegetarians enjoy the creamy elegance of Cacio e Pepe or Mafalde with broccoli rabe and fennel sausage.

Pizza with Personality
Wood-fired and full of character, the pizza lineup features fan favorites like The Hank (hot sausage, cotto, pepperoni) and the lighter Mitzi (triple-cheese tomato pie). The Veggie White Pie—loaded with broccoli, tomato, and mushrooms—offers a satisfying meat-free option. Guests can also build their own from 9 artisanal toppings, starting at just $12.

Small Plates That Shine
Begin your meal with elevated antipasti: Grilled Octopus with fennel and lemon ($17), Tonno Crudo with Pantelleria capers ($15), or the crowd-pleasing Antipasto Misto ($25) featuring speck, roasted peppers, smoked mozzarella, and fried calamari. At lunch or during Happy Hour (Tue–Fri, 4–6 PM), enjoy $0.99 meatballs, $7 pizzas, and $6 cocktails—dine-in only.

Weekend Brunch Reinvented
Saturday and Sunday brunch (12–4 PM) brings playful yet refined Italian-American twists:

  • Pizza al Uovo topped with black truffle fonduta and a poached egg ($18)
  • Maritozzi con Panna, sweet buns filled with whipped cream and Nutella ($10)
  • Brunch Caesar Salad with eggs mimosa, bacon, and anchovies ($16)

Drinks That Complement the Cuisine
The cocktail program leans Italian with modern technique—try the Italian Mule (grappa, ginger beer, lime) or the theatrical You Broke My Heart, Roberto Baggio (vanilla vodka, Disaronno, egg white). The wine list spans regional Italian gems—from Friulian Ribolla to Sicilian Nero d’Avola—and includes premium reserve bottles like Brunello di Montalcino ($119) and Barolo ($105).

Family-Style Feasts for Takeout
For gatherings at home, the Italian Family Feast for Four ($50) includes Caesar salad for four, two pasta choices, and two pizzas—available exclusively via advance order on TOCK.
