“Dolce Vita provides a consistently great experience with really good food, outstanding old-fashions and other drinks, all at good prices! They are very kid friendly and also a great place for meeting friends. Tip, the bar area is a bit quieter if there is a lot of noise or families in the main area. Not a bad thing, just a factor in how you want your dining experience to go.“

“Today Italian Gourmet was amazing getting a tray of sandwiches ready in very short time. They are the best!“

“Excellent food and the owner aims to please her customers!“

“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.“

“absolutely EXCELLENT staff, great food with unique options and plenty of seating! I had the breakfast lasagna and I enjoyed every bite, wouldn't change a thing.“

“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.“

“Great Pizza! Nice customer service!“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“

“Hands down the best pizza in VA gotta get the MIC MAC. 🚀“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“Cafe Renaissance has been our important event restaurant for the past 15 years. It has never failed to give us a very rewarding experience from its excellent food and the classy ambiance. Highly recommended!“

“Paisano’s Pizza in Lake Ridge is always a go-to for me. The food is consistently good, portions are great, and everything tastes fresh. Delivery is fast, orders are always accurate, and the staff is friendly. Super reliable spot when you want good food without a long wait. Definitely recommend!“

“This is only the 2nd time I've been to an Olive Garden and I have to say that for a chain restaurant, I am pleasantly surprised. I mean, this isn't your Italian grandma's Sunday supper with gravy or marinara smothering everything but this is tasty food, executed exactly as described and if you like endless soup, salad, soda and bread sticks, then this is your lucky day. The servers are friendly, attentive and efficient. So, whether it's a mid-week break from cooking or somebody'“

“My favorite pizza place.They know what I want. Great customer service too.“

“George Mason Students Get 20% Off!
My footlong sandwich was only $11.43, and it was worth every penny!

I had the best Philly Cheesesteak hot, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The steak melted in my mouth, and the caramelized onions paired perfectly with the gooey cheese. To top it all off, Nick surprised me with a complimentary slice of cheesecake! The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

Highly recommend checking this place out amazing food and even better vibes!“

“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 .“

“Only problem so far is fire alarm went off at 430am“

“Great food craft cocktails excellent service contrary to some review. One of the best I have eaten at in N VA!“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is outstanding! All made fresh and so delicious. Family owned and very friendly. The calamari was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful dusting as opposed to a heavily breaded crust. The grilled octopus was tender and flavorful. We’ve sat both outside in the relaxing courtyard and inside the casual restaurant. This restaurant beats the food at Old Town’s Greek restaurants. Highly recommend this place!!“

“This is the best Ledo's Pizza in the area. I live in Arlington and only get my Ledo's Pizza at the Fairfax location. Muhammad always makes you feel like you're part of the family. Makes your pizza exactly the way you ask for it to be made.“

“As a critic who professionally rates places I came here to relax after a long day. The atmosphere is very relaxing inside the building and my whole experience was very easy going. I had talked to a employee named “David” over the phone and he had made the process of ordering very easy. When I asked for specials he informed me of them right away.

When I came in he greeted me and simply asked me to sign a receipt. Once I did that he brought me my food and it was done at that. The food was phenomenal and I loved their pizza. I can’t wait to return to try more. Thank you Paisanos.“

“excellent“

“Best Italian sandwich shop in NOVA! Sandwiches are on point and please try the macaroni salad - yum :). The wine selection is great, tasty desserts (the tiramisu is my favorite), top it with friendly staff, and fresh ingredients. The owner remembers you and will greet you with a smile making you feel right at home.“
