“I’ve been coming here for years and always had a great experience. They serve some of the best Italian dishes in all on Northern VA. The place is really clean and the staff are very friendly. It seems to be a favorite spot for locals with a very family friendly vibe. I really like their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Pollo Bryan. The calamari here is excellent at well. On Monday nights, they have a large 3 topping pizza for only $11.99 which is an amazing deal for a high quality brick oven pizza. They also have prime rib on Wednesday nights which I love to get too. Whenever I meet up with friends at Giradinos, they all say that the food is great too. I need to try some more of their entrees but it’s hard to when I really love getting what I’m used to. Highly recommend this place if you love Italian dishes, brick oven pizza and some good wine.“

“This place was incredible. The service was excellent and everyone was super friendly. The servers were knowledgeable about the food and the drinks and were able to make recommendations when asked for them. On top of the food, we tried 3 different alcoholic beverages, their seasonal white, a sparkling rose, and limoncello. Each was incredible and paired great with the food. The entrees were really flavorful and unique and the desserts were perfectly balanced. Special shoutout to our waiter Angel for being incredbly kind and friendly! He really made our experience better.“

“Service was awesome. Food was good, especially sesame bun when we sat down, and good tomato brushetta. Not a fan a dogmatic menu statements against substitutions, etc. Also my wife was not impressed with having to ask for (and pay extra) for a tiny bowl of side pasta for chicken parm. Tables seem to be too close together. Overall OK experience being our first time there.“

“We had never eaten there before. Tried it on the 11th of July, '26 for lunch. The gentleman named Michael was so helpful and personable. There is a lot to choose on the menu: Salads, Subs, several Italian dishes, and of course, Pizza. We ordered Chicken Wings, A Steak and Cheese Sub, and Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. ALL 3 meals were fantastic. This is going to be our go to place for subs from now on. We look forward to trying the Pizza. If it's just as good, this will be our go to take-out/delivery place. 5 stars for food and service.
I rated it a 3 for atmosphere, but only because the eat in section is small and VERY basic, but, hey, it's primarily an order food business.
Highly recommend.“

“it's nothing at all like a NY pizza dough is not hand tossed . It's basically like any chain style pizza . service was quick and cooked properly. typical pizza for a kids party etc .“

“Absolutely THE BEST food and service ... called for delivery today since I'm home cleaning /decorating ... truly awesome!! Been getting food from these guys for years ... never EVER disappointed ❤️❤️❤️“

“stopped by here for lunch since i drive by all the time. i was highly impressed. it’s a small shop but the food it’s incredible. i think it was the owner who helped me out he was very friendly and made everyone coming in smile and laugh.

now for the food: i got the reuben and it honestly was the best one ive ever had. the bread was soft while the edges were crisp. and it had alotttt of filling. it was a messy sandwich but i’d get it again and again. also got a side of fries and putting the fries inside the sandwich was honestly really good too.
the desserts looked really good so i couldn’t resist i ended up getting a hazelnut mouse. oh my god. it was really good it reminded me of a ferrero rocher but it wasn’t crunchy it was incredibly smooth and silky.
the verdict is i highly recommend this spot, they also have wine to sip and non alcoholic drinks as well. i definitely will be coming back soon for another lunch.“

“I had a five star experience with hubby last night. The manager Mahder was very hospitable, asking how our food was. We got the steak Alfredo and I liked it, but the steak had a peppery taste so I asked her if they could make it without the pepper (I don’t like pepper because of my food aversion) and she said the beef has seasoning on it and tried to have the kitchen prepare beef without it, but she said the meat was frozen and couldn’t be prepared. I was thankful she was willing to make that accommodation. She was very generous with great service. My husband and I enjoyed our conversations with Mahder and our server Emily. They both went above and beyond in serving us and we highly recommend the food and will definitely be back. Emily did an awesome job serving us! We will definitely be back“

“The staff here is truly incredible! I accidentally placed an order for the wrong day, but they were so understanding and got eight pizzas and appetizers made for me in 20 minutes, and helped me get it all to my car. Outstanding, outstanding service all around, will definitely be ordering here again (on the correct day this time)!“

“We’ve lived in Woodbridge for 3.5 years and just found out about Presto, it’s hands down the best pizza we’ve had in the area. The service was great and we can’t wait to go back.“

“I was at the paisonos in Vienna,VA couple on Sunday Sept 11th and the lady who works the front think her name is Allison she is very respectful and polite. She deft is a hard worker and I'm so glad she is working there.. last time I eat there was in May and I wasn't happy with the customer service but I'm gonna tell you y'all need to keep her there I hope she is a manager if not she needs to be.me and my family sat in to eat she asked us multiple times did we need any,asked how our food was she even cleaned out mess up when she didn't half to..way to go paisanos about time you guys got decent people taking orders . I listened to the way she answered the phone she is definitely professional.. the way she spoke to her customers was amazing she even helped a elderly woman bring her food to the car for her and open and s*** the woman door . I couldn't stop smiling.. I'm so amazed about her.. one more thing I even heard how she was speaking to the other workers asked them was they ok and that they are doing a good job.. see we definitely need more people like her in this environment.. great job Allison!!!!! Please give her a recommendation because when I come back I'm gonna ask her .. you will definitely get my business atleast two or three times a week“
