Always a hit for consistency with us. Quality Italian food at a decent price and not far out of the way. We're regulars here and happy to support small business!

One of the few of last of the original great bar/ restaurants that has survived in Falls Church for at least 40-50 years. Maybe the oldest still around since there is no more Ben tleys or Brinkleys.

It felt like stepping back into the 70's or even 80's for some old school Italian food when we walked into this gem of a spot. It was a Sunday night and did not seem crowded at all which was surprising given the whole vibe going on here.We had a great server who was super attentive. The Caesar salad is really good and their garlic bread is beyond fantastic. They give you fresh bread/butter but the garlic bread is a must. I had the rigatoni/shrimp which was okay. The shrimp were not Jumbo as noted on the description. Others in our party enjoyed their food… we had some chicken parm and Lasagna orders along with Salmon.The Tiramisu is a must. It is one of their desserts made in house and it was superb.

Straight out of the 70s, every single element, from the decor to the food, was completely flavorless. The service was also very lacking, in that the water glasses remained empty through the entrées and all the meals were brought out at different times, leaving the first of the group with a luke warm dish.

I was immensely disappointed in this restaurant after looking at the reviews. Neither of our meals were good. The service was poor. Had to ask for water twice before getting any, then when I asked for a refill....well that never happened. Maybe we hit it on a bad night. But the place is 25 minutes from me, I doubt I will make the trip again.

As old school as it gets. Food is great with classics and nice updates on the classics.
I love to go on Saturday night when Lou Neely plays in the bar. R&B heaven with great food and fun people.

Personally, I couldn't think of a more suitable candidate to be on Kitchen Nightmares. The fettuccini Alfredo literally tasted like flavor packets were added to it, chicken Parm was greasy and gross, and fried mushrooms had zero seasoning in the breading. And don't get me started on the atmosphere- felt like a seedy mob

It is a very nice restaurant with a great vibe. The service was incredible. We never had to ask for beverage refills. I had the chicken and spinach cannelloni with a bowl of beef vegetable soup. The soup had an amazing flavor. The pasta was absolutely delightful. We received bread and butter before the meal. The bread was delicious. The prices were decent. I recommend trying this place for some superb Italian food.

Had our first visit here this evening. Great food, service and atmosphere. We had the cannelloni, lasagna and caesar salad. Felt like we were taken back in time a bit with the restaurant vibe, in a good way. We will be back!
