It is now in Arlington VA and worthwhile. They’ve actually been mentioned in Michelin twice 2019 and 2020. That’s impressive, most impressive. ?

The food is delicious and staff are so friendly! When my takeout order was missing an entree they promptly got it to me along with an extra free entree. Great food, value, and service!

RW dinner: two and a half stars. I found plenty of parking in a 2 block radius. They had covered outdoor seating available with heating lamps, and a sign pointing customers at the side where they allowed access to the restaurant entrance. Entree portions are definitely robust. With 3 days' advance notice on my pickup order, I would've appreciated a heads up that they didn't plan to offer mafalde pasta. Had I known that it would instead be a fusilli con burrata e pesto, I would've swapped the order to a paccheri 'o rrau'. That said, there was just enough pesto to coat everything, and a reasonable amount of sun-dried tomatoes. While I liked the richness of the pumpkin crema sauce, I wouldn't get their potato gnocchi again because of the slight gumminess of our batch. Apps-wise, the bread was nice and crusty; the fritters were crispy but not too heavy thanks to the lemon; and we found the eggplant parmesan satisfying enough to fight over the portion. Their torta caprese cake was actually delightfully airy, and we both preferred it over the slightly denser torta all'ollio d'oliva.

Very yummy Italian food — loved the seafood pasta and burrata!! Great service, covid friendly, warm, and they even treated us to limoncello! Tiramisu amazing

The ravioli con pera e pecorino as well as the pannacota for desert were absolutely delicious! We got take-out of course but it all tasted fantastic. Thank you!

Perfect cuisine on a wintery evening. We enjoyed the outdoor dining experience, and felt safe with the spacing and waitstaff. We started off with the burrata salad which was light and refreshing. The arancini was definitely a highlight. Although some bites were a bit dry, when eaten with the marinara, it was a great blend. They stay true to their name! The basil pesto mafalde was a bit on the saltier side but still delicious and hearty. Pasta was a perfect al dente. The burrata was highlight in any dish it came. Perfect airy bites complemented all the dishes. The olive oil cake was not as good as I expected. Sadly it was dry and dense, although the apple butter and whipped ricotta tried to improve it. Maybe I just got a bad piece. Overall, loved the pasta and burrata!
The menu online didn't match the one linked to the QR code at the restaurant. So minus a point because some items were missing or not as expected. But this place had an incredibly cozy patio set up for covid! The patio is partly enclosed but still tons of air circulation. Warm heaters and a blanket for each person at their table! The blanket really came in handy on a cold night. Everything was delicious. Cod fritters with a tasty pesto, caprese, pear ravioli, chocolate almond cake, and tiramisu. My husband reported the lasagna with bolognese se was impeccable too.

What a treat this little spot was! We booked a reservation here because they take reservations for their outdoor heated patio. The patio is covered and they have wind screens up, but it's open air so it feels COVID-safe. The heaters kept us very warm on a chilly night. Three of us shared the caprese salad, ziti, lasagna, pear ravioli, short rib, and tiramisu. All was so delicious, but the pear ravioli stole the show for me -- the sauce was incredible! Great service and a wonderful family-style vibe. We will definitely be back!

Tried this place for the first time for New Years Eve dinner delivery. From their online ordering system to a phone call confirmation to the delivery - everything was easy and went perfectly. And most importantly, the food was delicious - pasta cooked perfectly al dente and bursting with flavor! Plus it was still very hot when it arrived. We will definitely dine here again!

The girl who takes orders is unpleasant, The mixed starter was only salami, so it's not mixed, $22 dollars including soda, and really to be avoided...
