“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.“

“Best Italian around with the friendliest staff who are always right there to greet you and make you feel so welcome!“

“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. 🚀“

“For dinner, we ordered a large plain Cheese Pizza, Fettuccini Alfredo, Chicken Tenders, and we tried their 'build your own' Calzone with basil, garlic, artichokes, and a side of marinara sauce, which was really good! It did take over 45 minutes for the delivery but again, being a holiday, our food came through and hot.“

“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!“

“Our first visit to Cafe Renaissance and will not be our last. Wonderful staff, menu and food. The wine list is extensive and overall dining experience could not have been better; it was a super evening.“

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

“I had such an amazing experience thanks to Christian. From the moment we sat down, he was calm, kind, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to walk me through the entire menu since it was my first time there, and made sure I felt comfortable with every choice. He never made us feel rushed, which made the whole dinner feel so special and relaxed. He listened carefully to everything I wanted and was extremely understanding and sweet throughout the entire experience.
I came to celebrate my birthday, and honestly, it turned out exactly how I hoped it would largely because of him. Christian is truly the kind of server every restaurant needs if they want their guests to have an unforgettable dining experience.
I would absolutely come back and request him again only him. If you visit, do yourself a favor and ask for Christian. You won’t regret it 😃“

“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!“

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

“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 .“

“My happy place, excellent service always, Maria handles everything true boss lady. Personal favorite is the roasted veg pizza, calamari is always tender, pasta dishes, al dente perfect perfection .Amazing smile amazing food must try if you haven’t already.“

“Honestly one of the best chain restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everything was genuinely delicious, fresh, hot, and the portions were huge. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the breadsticks were dangerously addictive, and even the salad tasted fresh instead of feeling like an afterthought. For the amount of food you get, the prices are honestly very reasonable nowadays. You leave completely full without feeling ripped off.

The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, and actually enjoyable to sit in for a while. Our waitress did keep sniffling her nose the whole time which was a little distracting, but she was still polite, fast, and attentive, so it honestly felt like a tiny issue compared to how good the overall experience was.

People love to joke about Olive Garden online, but sometimes a place is popular for a reason. Big portions, solid comfort food, unlimited breadsticks, and a menu where almost everyone can find something they like. This visit completely delivered. Definitely coming back again.“

“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.“

“What a great experience Owner Kevin was the utmost gracious And involved of making this a Great time for our team and their families. The wait staff top notch I’m so happy we decided to go here and will continue to do it here . Roxanne was our server kept it smooth and flawless… Please go here and keep our local business the first choice…..soccer party was perfect here….. Thanks again“

“excellent“

“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.“
