Had a fantastic meal here last night. Food was delicious and fresh, the vibe was vibrant yet cozy, and the service was just the right balance of friendliness without being overly attentive. Highly recommend for a date night!

The food is outstanding and the service friendly and prompt. Every time we go we wonder why we don’t go more often. Authentic and delicious Italian food.

Unbelievable Italian restaurant in the heart of Fairfax!!!! 100% authentic Italian cuisine
The food is crazy delicious, we ordered an Paccheri alla Pancino and Agnello to share with my husband and it was an amazing experience to taste these plates! You can see every detail of work.
Also they recommended for wine Giovanni Ross Etna Ross which also was a great suggestion by our server and also owner and chef of the place Elena that very surprised us and the wine was just great!
The place looks very clean and cozy! Really a perfect side to served a good amount of people and for everyone to have a good experience and savor this food!
We will definitely go back!

Delicious and authentic Italian food with lovely service. I have tried most of the dishes and love them all. It can get loud when the place is packed. Obviously you will spend more if you have 3 courses with drinks.

If I could give 100 stars, I would. The food is simply excellent. If you have been to Italy and enjoy the more rustic styled cuisine, this is the place. The food is exquisite. The Tuscan owner/chef knows what she’s doing. There is simply nothing to avoid on the menu. I’ll be coming back every time I’m town!

Some of the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. Very authentic dishes and flavors. We dined with a party of 5 so got to try many dishes and even those that were a tad lacking were still excellent. The fresh baked focaccia is marvelous. The creamy polenta with mushrooms was excellent! The original Italian varietal wine selection was refreshingly different than most restaurants and the quality was spot on. Our friends love the roasted Cauliflower, and fought over the remainder that they shared. The pappardelle looked, smelled and tasted hearty and authentic. They also had a burrata and citrus salad with orange slices, blood orange slices, mint and micro greens was an amazing combination of flavors and textures.
Several of us had the signature porchetta. I enjoyed it and found it moist and tender. Served with with the potatoes in the pork drippings were wonderful, sauteed chard could handle a little more garlic.
The desserts were the best gelato I've had outside of Italy (we tried the pistachio and the rum raisin (OMG!). We also tried the orange olive oil cake served with yogurt gelato (the combination of the two together was mind blowing!)
Highly recommended and we will be back as often as possible. A tad on the pricey side but understandable based on the service, quality, and authenticity of the food.
Elena and staff to be lauded for such a wonderful experience of Italy in Fairfax.

It has always been a mystery how nearly any small trattoria in Italy can serve magical food but even the priciest Italian restaurants in the US offer up insipid imitations. I am happy to report that you no longer need to fly to Italy for a proper meal. La Gastronomia is the equal of anything you will find in the old country, magnifico. Also, as in Italy, wines are priced reasonably.
This family shares their delightful Italian cuisine with a carefully chosen menu of options that you know they would eat at home if they weren't at work.
Seasonally appropriate foods, homemade with love, and an engaged staff make this restaurant perfect for date night or any special occasion.

We celebrated a 70th birthday brunch here with my family. The servers were lovely and made the experience cozy and special. We each ordered something different and all agreed it was the best breakfast we've had in ages (if ever)! Can't wait to return.

Best Italian food in Marin! The flavors were unique and absolutely delicious. Portions are perfect, wine list is phenomenal and service is attentive, professional and very friendly. They did a great job with the interior, feels cozy and modern. Will be making this a regular go to!
