“Giovanni is very welcoming and accommodating. My favorites here are the chicken parm and the cheese pizza with basil. They make a really good Greek salad with chicken and my husband loves the Fettuccini Alfredo. It’s definitely mainly a takeout/delivery restaurant and if you use the app the specials offered are quite good. You get good food at a very reasonable price.“
“Visited this place in DC last weekend with family and it's the best! The pre-dinner bar experience was delightful with excellent martinis. The waiter made it special by asking about our celebration. With a party of seven, we tried different entree's and everyone was impressed with the quality and portions size. The waiter was helpful with menu suggestions. We felt right at home 10/10, definitely coming back !“
“Cozy restaurant with great food; it’s perfect for a mid-week date night. Best staff in any restaurant in Arlington. They were super nice, eager to give recommendations, and genuinely happy to be there. Even the manager stopped by to see how we were doing. Recommend the seafood lasagna special when it’s available.“
“The ambiance of the restaurant is romantic, with flower bouquets and beautiful paintings. For the appetizers that we ordered, the portions were very small but the food was good. The duck confit was sweet, the ravioli sauce was great, the french onion soup was standard, and the crab cake sauce was delicious but very small. Free desert came with small samples of chocolate mouse and raspberry cake.“
“The service is top-notch. They're very passionate and committed to quality Neapolitan food and it shows. Servers are very nice and attentive. I had the prosciutto and cantaloupe for an appetizer, which also comes with arugula. Very fresh and delicious. I decided to go with the veggie pizza, which tasted divine. The tiramisu and americano were dessert. Again, well-done!!!“
“This place is nothing short of spectacular. We've added it to the work rotation about a year ago and it's never disappointed. The staff and owner are amazing! Easily the best casual Italian food in the Alexandria area! (Their garlic bread is definitely the best thing since sliced bread!)“
“Beautiful restaurant overlooking the water, outstanding service, and amazing seafood. I had read some of the reviews that were less than stellar but everything that we ordered was fantastic. We started off with their eggplant appetizer, which was full roasted eggplant -- delicious. For the main entree, I was debating between their grilled calamari and the scallops and the server recommended we share a half portion of the calamari and get the scallops. Great recommendation. The scallops were out of this world and a generous portion too. My wife's fish was delicious as well. No complaints about anything. The prices are a bit on the higher side but it's worth it when the food and the ambiance matches expectations. A definite 5 star for me.“
“Una esperienza indimenticabile! Sergio è davvero un gran signore, attento ad ogni minima esigenza del cliente, gentile e disponibile con una innata classe italiana. Il cibo è superlativo, di altissima qualità, cucinato in maniera perfetta. La mise en place impeccabile, Tiramisù e cantucci per concludere una magnifica serata . Consigliatissimo“
“I’ve always loved coming here! Great seafood all fresh, you can really tell the quality is there. As someone who’s actually not a big fan of Italian this is somewhere I really enjoy frequenting. Recommend there scallop squid ink ravioli, calamari, and tiramisu. Only thing I’ll say is parking can be tricky so leave some time to find some if you’re coming here.“
“I ordered a couple sandwiches for pick-up and they were delicious! I tried the Capo Special and it was a great take on an Italian sub with slightly different meats. The bread was very good, holding everything together well even with oil and vinegar. My colleague had a cheesesteak and seemed to like it.These were both huge sandwiches for the price!The person working there when we picked up was very nice.“
“Such a nice ambiance. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. There was so many pastas to choose from there's definitely something for everybody. I kinda got decision paralysis from the options but I got the squid ink pasta (spaghetti Neri) and loved it. I think it tasted the best out of our group's dishes and was complex and delicious although the tagliolini Al funghi was a close second. My partner got the short rib ravioli and we both didn't really like it. It was quite salty in some bites and lacked savory-ness in others. We didn't get to try appetizers or try the cheese wheel as we went on a Tuesday but will definitely come back to try those ! Overall we had a great time. Also for parking there's free parking in the garage and this place is located in the hotel.“
“Idlywood is a favorite spot for dinner. The service is excellent, with a good selection of wines and an atmosphere that permits conversation at normal speaking levels. We tried a couple of new dishes as well as a favorite appetizer (shrimp ajo) and salmon Caesar. We haven't been disappointed in any of the salmon selections. The branzino is also a favorite. The chicken parmesan, a new item , was especially good. Highly recommended.“
“What a fantastic dining experience to celebrate my mother's birthday. It was great to have Nino make sure we had the very best wine and that our food and desserts came out perfect. Highly recommend this authentic Italian gem for your next special dinner!“
“For appetizers- we ordered the burratta e funghi and also the foccaccia bread. Both were delicious. The highlight was the pizza! We were a party of 6 and tried three different pizzas, and all were delicious! We also tried both the gnocchi dishes (formaggi and sorrentina), they were ok. The best dish of all was the tiramisu! We liked it so much we had to order multiples. Friendly staff, good amount of parking..“
“They definitely don't do things by half measures here, this place is flamboyant in the best way. Huge portion sizes, huge amount of decorations, huge hospitality. We went during spring and they had Easter decorations EVERYWHERE. Started off with their meatballs, which were tender and flavorful (loved the marinara sauce they used). I ordered the lobster cardinale, which was like if you married a really good lobster bisque together with pasta. It's pricey but they don't skimp on the quality of the ingredients (has giant chunks of perfectly cooked lobster). Definitely recommend. My sister had the sausage rigatoni, which was also very good, although didn't stand out to me as much. For dessert, we got the hazelnut cake, and our waiter even gave us some complimentary amaretto, which was a really nice way to finish the meal.“
“We have been a few times over the years the experience is always great. The staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious, we have always enjoyed our meals. Take your time and take it in. We always like to just slow things down a bit and enjoy when we visit. It will be on the more expensive side but worth the cost.Parking: Paid parking but Validated up to 2 hours. Small garage underneath/near the restaurant.“
“Nice,clean,fast and efficient,very modern and newly painted interior design one of the cleanest Pizza Boli’s out there with good food and customer service I used to work in Maryland as a commercial painter and I used to eat pizza Boli’s for lunch very often but nothing can compare to this branch very well established and “
“Casual dining heaven...what a find! This cozy spot is close to Clemyjontri playground (my nice and nephew love) ticked all the boxes for a laid-back dinner. Despite the hustle and bustle, the staff managed to seat us promptly, and their friendly demeanor added to the inviting atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the food - simply delicious! The pasta selection was impressive, and the build-your-own-pasta option was a hit with our group. And for those craving something classic, the chicken parm didn't disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of Peroni 0.0 - a perfect choice for a non-alcoholic drinker (like myself that evening). In summary, if you're in the area and craving some comfort food in a relaxed setting, this spot is a must-visit. We'll definitely be returning for more pasta perfection. And as always, go Caps! #bubblytip: Great spot to go with children“
“I called in for a to-go order on a rainy Wednesday night, and got a small meat lovers pizza with lemon cake. I don't think the pizza was worth it as it reminded me of dry frozen pizza that I could've baked myself for a fraction of the cost. The lemon cake was delicious however! The owners were very sweet when I went to pick up my food and even gave me a small discount-- an even $20 instead of $21 and some change haha. I would come back to try their cheesesteaks, but would avoid the pizza in all honesty.“
“SUCH delicious food made with wholesome fresh ingredients. You taste it in every bite.Boyfriend and I stopped in spontaneously and ordered a pepperoni pizza with pesto cubes, meatballs with fresh bread, and pesto pistachio fettuccine. Everything was so heavenly, I'm kicking myself for not trying this place sooner.Restaurant itself is very casual, which I appreciate as well! It's a cozy vibe.“
“We ordered vegan takeout from this restaurant. They had a fun deal on Ubereats where you could get two slices of vegan cake for the price of one. We were astounded when the food arrived. It's all delicious, high quality and generous portions!We had a vegan pizza with lots of toppings (they offer numerous vegan meats!), chicken parm and spaghetti and meatballs. All was delicious!I HIGHLY recommend getting food here if you're vegan!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“As many of you (me when I come back and read this later) are aware, my wife and I take our date night locations seriously and a few nights ago we went out on a limb and decided to try Roberto's on our most recent outing.You're always taking a risk when you go to a restaurant when you're not able to pronounce half of the things on the menu. Some might say that's a sign of authenticity...some might say that's a recipe for embarrassment. Either way, we gave Roberto's a shot and, overall, we're glad that we did. I'm not an Italian expert by any stretch of the imagination, but even my uneducated palate could have told you that this place was miles better than 80% of the other Italian restaurants I've been to in the past (Olive Garden included, I'm sad to say).From the outside, Roberto's is a pretty cool looking place. The restaurant is pretty small, but the large Italian flag waving out front gives away its location pretty easily. We made a reservation online pretty easily.Overall, we had a really good experience here, but walking in almost ruined it for us. When I had booked our reservations, I did not anticipate bringing our children with us (both under 2). When we couldn't find a baby sitter, we called an audible and brought them along which I thought would be fine because they're literally like 20 pounds combined. When we came and checked in we were almost instantly greeted with a pleasant, "You know we don't have high chairs, right?" Which I didn't know (not sure how I would have). There was a minute or two of adjusting because we had two extra "people" with us who didn't take up chairs, but we were then pretty quickly led to a booth.I had made a mistake and maybe I was just getting a taste of Italian hospitality, but I was a little unhappy about that first impression. Nevertheless, from that moment on everything got much better.The main dining area of the restaurant is essentially a large room with tables laid around the walls and a big serving section right in the middle where the waiters grab supplies and things. That was a cool layout that I hadn't seen before, it also meant that we were helped pretty quickly. We had our water within a few minutes and fresh bread only a few minutes later. Not unlimited, but unlimitedly delicious.After a few minutes of translating the menu my wife and I ordered. I went with the Fettuccini (because it was literally the only thing I could pronounce) and my wife ordered the gnocchi. Within a few minutes, my wife's food was out and my pasta had made its way to the center island thing in the restaurant. From there, the owner of the store (or manager?) put the pasta into a giant wheel of parmesan and personally created the alfredo sauce in front of us while explaining the process, that was pretty cool.The food itself was incredible. Both the gnocchi and the fehttuchini alfredo were wonderful. The portions were a little smaller than I would have liked, but enough to leave you feeling like you were satisfied. We ended the meal with a little espresso and chocolate gelato which, I kid you not, is the best I've ever had.While the hospitality coming through the door wasn't great, our servers were wonderful the whole time. They were attentive, helpful and kind. I was also impressed to see that the owner/manager/woman in charge made her way around to each table to check in on folks and make sure they were enjoying their meal and have a short conversations with them. That was a nice touch that, honestly, hasn't happened to me in a long time.The last thing I'll discuss is the price. You're getting good quality food but you're not paying Olive Garden prices for it. Both my wife and I's dishes sat around $30/pop. For a group, you're talking some big money.Would I come back to Roberto's? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Would I come back often? If I was rich...maybe. It's a fun place for a date night, but probably won't be our regul“
“We go there for lunch primarily on special occasions. We think it's the best northern Italian food in NOVA. Lunch is more relaxed, less crowded and lunch is a great value. Beautiful old house, too. Highly recommend. Never been disappointed.“
“My family loves Tartufo and the restaurant owner. This neighborhood restaurant has always served consistently delicious dinners! We have dined at Tartufo as many as 30 times over the years. Since the Covid-19 pandemic we have ordered our Saturday night dinners from your restaurant on 4 different occasions. Every meal has been fantastic. My family wants you to know how enjoyable and delicious your meals are. We all have favorites dishes on your menu that we order! Please know how much we love Tartufo and how grateful we are that you are located in our very own neighborhood. It is a treat to have such a wonderful restaurant in walking distance of where we live and to ALWAYS have outstanding meals!! We will continue to support this fine restaurant and use the carry out services for as long as needed during the pandemic. We send the owner our best wishes! Sincerely, Rob“
“Our food was Amazing. Service seemed rushed. We didn't get a chance to enjoy our appetizers before our main dish was served. I feel like our server was being pulled to multiple tables and overwhelmed to provide our table with great service.“
“World class dining with smiling service. The food is amazing, and Javier was lovely, flexible and knowledgeable. We made last minute changes and they got us our orders to us perfectly food is very high quality. It is not cheap, however the food is still better than what you pay for. The best Italian restaurant in the DMV area. I also love that they make the pasta in front of windows so you can see.“
“Very delicious Napolitano foodVery well cooked with care and attentionTraditional Italian restaurant with emphasis on real Italian not Italian-American dishes.Very good servers.Owners are involved in operations and engaging with diners.The cream for pasta was well made, not taste thick and waxy.And pizza was wonderful.Drink options are good.Great place for family, couples, social, and semi formal dining.Can't find a flaw or fault in this fine establishment.??????????️Highly recommended from someone who does not eat Italian foods often.“
“My partner and I loved our experience here. The staff were very welcoming and the food was wonderful! The pasta isn’t from scratch but was still great with options for mainstream and traditional Italian dishes. Our waitress Sarah was so kind and because it was our first time there she offered a champagne toast on the house.Pros: I loved the variety of protein options that could be added to dishes. The dinner overall was a little more expensive than we usually have for a casual night out but honestly the atmosphere and food was so worth it. We’re easy going people and just like to have a good return on investment wherever we dine. We definitely felt like we got that here. We’ll be back!Cons: I love an Alfredo dish or cacio e Pepe but there weren’t any offered.Recommendation: reservation for weekends or Friday nights.“
“This was my first visit to Capri despite living in McLean for several years. It is a traditional white tablecloth restaurant and I was a bit hesitant to try it, but the food was wonderful. My rack of lamb was cooked just the way I requested and was not at all fatty/greasy as some lamb can be. The dark gravy was excellent as were the accompanying vegetables and crispy small roasted potato wedges. The other members of my party had Italian dishes which they were very happy with. Desserts - spumoni encased in chocolate and tiramisu - were excellent. We will definitely be back.“
“Gregorio's catered our Super Bowl party and the quality of the food made for a great success. Here's something you may not know (yet) - Gregorio's wings are FANTASTIC! They went faster than all of the homemade potluck dishes our guests brought. Pizza is consistently delicious (why we order from Gregorio's in the first place). But the wings....! Best I've had in years!“
“WE LOVE MAGGIANOS - The Chef selection Family Style was a MONSTER HIT! Every bite of food was off the hook, The Steak, Mushroom Ravioli, The Chicken Parmesan, Calamari and I could go on and on. BUT the absolute highlight of our wonderful meal was ALICIA!!!! She was amazing and elevated out time beyond just dinner, she made it a TOTAL Experience. She was on top of everything, great advice, so friendly and fun to work with. She is the reason we will be back. Thank you to the entire staff and Alicia.Kid-friendliness: Alicia was amazing in help our 11 year old son pic the best items for him. So was JUST THE BEST!“
“A very old school family-run vibe. In a day of chain restaurants I appreciate this. The linguine and clams were delicious, and both the lasagna and shrimp scampi were also quite good. The wine selection is small, but when you have quality table wines with generous pours, who cares. I would certainly return anytime.“
“Been here multiple times and happy to say that the food is still just as delicious as when we first came here over a year ago! I often avoid ordering spaghetti when I go to restaurants but this is the only place that my husband and I will race to see who gets to order the spaghetti (and not share). Last night we had the rigatoni as well and needless to say, no plate was left empty. The portions are perfect and service was equally as wonderful.“
“Bozzelli’s in Georgetown exceeded all my expectations with its exceptional pizza. From the first bite, I was captivated by the rich and authentic Italian flavors that danced on my taste buds. The quality of the ingredients and the meticulous attention to detail in crafting each pizza truly set Bozzelli’s apart.What impressed me equally was the reasonable pricing. Despite the outstanding quality, Bozzelli’s manages to offer a wallet-friendly experience. It's rare to find a place that balances superb taste and affordability so well. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this gem in Georgetown is a must-visit.I can confidently say that Bozzelli’s has secured a spot on my list of favorite pizza joints. The combination of mouthwatering flavors, reasonable prices, and the cozy ambiance make it a standout dining destination. Without a doubt, I strongly recommend Bozzelli’s to anyone who appreciates top-notch pizza with an authentic Italian touch.“
“1. Food is amazing I ate pesto genovese with penne paste loved it, I recommend adding without garlicmy son ate penne Alfredo ,they have this complementary rosemary loaf bread which is amazing , we ordered garlic with cheese bread so we were over stuffed had to take it to go2. Attentive while being busy checking on drinks3. More parking in back also it’s okay to park at the salon spots confirmed withy he restaurant on 4/4/24 8pm“
“The best food ever! I went here a few months ago and had one of their specials at the time. The food was so good I could eat it everyday. The nice lady who was serving us was wonderful. She kept checking in on us to make sure everything was going good. The actual place was well decorated and you could see the chefs cooking your food. I loved this place so much and will be going back.“
“The atmosphere is really cute especially for date night. However, the food was average. The waiter offered us bread which I assumed was complimentary but it’s not.I got the beet salad to start and cacio e pepe for my entree. The beet salad was not very creative (mostly beets with a few pieces of arugula). It could have been seasoned better. The cacio e pepe was fine but probably wouldn’t come back just for that dish. We ordered the chocolate mousse cake for dessert and it looked like a children’s cake with rainbow sprinkles on top. Very strange. It also tasted freezer burned. We sent it back and the manager was nice enough to take it off of our bill and gave us a complimentary tiramisu. The tiramisu was actually delicious.“
“Pizza for $2.50 a slice. Very old school Italian deli. It was great to see this kind of place still going strong in an age of chain markets and restaurants. We also picked up some funky looking pasta sauce. We'll definitely be coming back to get olives as a party appetizer, or a pizza as takeout.“
“One of the best places to go for pizza and pastas. Simple, Italian dishes, but really good homestyle cooking. Highly recommend coming here if you are planning to get a grub to eat before a movie. My picks from here would be the piccatta, or chicken parm pasta. Their New York style pizza is also really flavorful.“
“If you're looking to take a pause from the vast menus of chain restaurants, you'll appreciate the cozy, unassuming atmosphere of Bella Napoli. Enjoy comforting, familiar dishes served with care. During my recent visit, I couldn't help but overhear a nearby book club discussing "The Wintergreen Mystery Series" by Patrick Kelly - I must say, you ladies were spot on about this amazing author.“
“Yesterday, the kids said they wanted to eat pizza, so I went there. I ate it at the store, but it was Supreme?? I think I ate a medium pizza, but it was really delicious and they were very kind. I accidentally spilled water on it, but they said it was okay and wiped it up, and they were really kind to the kids. It was a delicious meal and a great day. Thank you.“
“After having been here several times the food is quite good. The lasagna in particular is a personal favorite. The ambiance is pleasant although crowded at times. They have an excellent wine selection. One recommendation- if you order takeout in particular -pizzas. Check them before you leave. The pizza I ordered last night had the four ingredients put in four separate corners. I don't understand it but can only assume I was given the wrong order or someone in the kitchen was having a bad night!“
“Just an amazing beautiful atmosphere, with exquisite service and wonderful authentic Italian cuisine. Owner is an awesome person who will greet you personally and check in on you and your guests pro actively. The waiters are courteous and on top of everything. I wish I could dine there every night! I will definitely go back.“
“Power brokers...Schmower brokers...That's the pricey nice Italian restaurant in Georgetown...Well then... The food better be great...It was excellent !Something Italian for everyone.Everything made fresh from scratch.The waitstaff were supreme!Gary Pagano and two assistant waitstaff attended our needs witha superfluous flair and a comfortable demeanor.Yes... It was pricey... but it was well worth it.We had appetizers, entrees, and dessert with wine and delectable cocktails...I highly recommend this classy little Italian restaurant.We really had an EXCELLENT experience !We smartly valet parked the car as we drove there ($20).We will definitely go back for another fun and fancy delicious night out.The only thing we would do different is NOT to request tap water (not tasty).One sip and we all avoided it.Not sure whether their water filter exists for water glasses.Bottled water is the only choice.Otherwise... Impeccable and excellent food, service, and overall experience !Cena eccellente !Parking: Right out front...“

“Hidden in the outskirts of Arlington VA is @pie_tanza_arlington, a family friendly neopolitana pizzeria!!Not too far from DC, you will find any customized version of pizza for your liking! Just order tomato sauce for ur pizza and you should be good! The crust is thin and airy :)Don't miss out on the heirloom tomato caprese salad too!! Made from fresh mozzarella, you will be surprised at how good it is!“
“Villa Bella is such an amazing restaurant. It can be difficult to get a reservation here as it is really popular in the Burke area, but that's because it is such a unique spot. I love the wood-fired pizzas from here because this style adds to the crispiness of the pizza crust. Calamari fritti is nice and airy, unlike many places where they sometimes make the appetizer too dense or oily. Reasonable amount of salt in the calamari fritti, which impresses me because I don't find that often in the calamari I've gotten from other Italian restaurants. The fried mozzarella and arancini are also some must-haves. Before eating here, I used to not like arancini, but this place has converted me into someone who loves arancini.With pasta dishes, some of my personal favorites are the ziti alla Paesana, manicotti, and ravioli. Their chicken parm pasta is also really good.This cozy restaurant nestled in Burke definitely sets the bar high for Italian food in the DMV and has personally elevated my palate on Italian cuisine. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, and even a faraway drive is worth it in my opinion. I definitely hope to come back here.“
“We just had another office lunch at Giardino to celebrate the retirement of a colleague. The restaurant does a fabulous job of handling large parties. They made special menus and customized the set up perfectly for our needs. The servers are of the highest professional demeanor. They were in sync with the flow of our event, patient with our chaotic social mixing, and totally non-disruptive as they served and bussed around our crowd of 40+ people. And the food is so tasty! Everyone raved about the lasagna, chicken marsala, fettucine alfredo, cannoli, and the bread--YUM. All for a very fair price.“
“My friends and I had such a great time celebrating my birthday with a ravioli cooking class hosted by the Mangia team! We thoroughly enjoyed the chef presentation and competition aspect of the class. Chef Maria was amazing!!! Everyone on the team was very friendly and helpful and made my birthday celebration so special. All in all, it was an absolute hit and we hope to return for more events in the future.“
“I Normally don’t give reviews on restaurants because if I don’t have anything nice to say I much rather keep it to my self, I’m not going to waste my time on giving a bad review on a restaurant just to get free food and give the place a bad image, simply if I don’t like the food I stop ordering from the place. People don’t realized how hard it is keeping up with a restaurants now days, and they expect things for free when one little thing goes wrong. Casa D Mama has delicious food and great people working there to deliver excellent customer service. I would give them a 10 stars if I had the option.“
