“I’ve lived in Sterling my whole life and this is honestly the best restaurant in Sterling’s history in my opinion. The first time my wife and I went here, we had dinner for our anniversary. The shrimp risotto and steak were amazing for a great price. The bread and butter appetizer are a must. And the service is amazing; professional staff who go above and beyond to make you feel at home. My wife and I went again for dinner today to celebrate her birthday and we had another amazing experience. Great steak and pasta and the bread and butter, again, is out of this world! Best butter we’ve ever had. Local Provisions has become our favorite restaurant. We are not alone. We chatted with a few couples there who were repeat customers with nothing but glowing things to say about Local Provisions as well. Highly recommend.“
“Stopped by and ordered the Fumo Pizza and Black Truffle Pizza, along with the free Margherita Pizza. The pizza tastes fresh, and enjoyed the texture and flavors of each pie. My favorite was the Margherita. Definitely will come back to try the other pizzas.“
“Went for the first time tonight, with my wife and son. We recently moved to the area and had been missing authentic Italian sandwiches; no longer! This place is fantastic. We tried a few of the cold cut subs and antipasto platter. Perfection. Love the soft roll bread and spicy relish they use, too. Can't wait to try the pizza next time, it looked amazing.“
“We had lunch at this Great American Restaurant in Fairfax some time ago, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was perfect, and we had a friendly server who knew the menu well. The restaurant has an old-world decor with period murals and paintings depicting an Italian parade in New York City. Lamps resembling old gas lights and classic-style light fixtures create a unique ambiance. The Hickory Smoked Baby Ribs were finger-licking good, and the fried calamari and lobster bisque were also delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant for its great food, service, and atmosphere!“
“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.“
“I'm almost hesitant to write this, because then more folks will be aware of this hidden gem, but it's a 5 Star Restaurant in every possible way. Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere, we had a fantastic dining experience. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and more attentive. They made us feel like family. It was my wife's birthday and I couldn't have picked a better restaurant to celebrate. We WILL be returning with the kids later this month. Just Fabulous.“
“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“
“We came here for the first time last week, and loved it so much that we came back today! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Shout out to Yaseen, who provided top notch service and made sure we had everything we needed. This will definitely be our go-to sub spot. We had the Milano and the California cheesesteak. Got extra Italian dressing on the side to dip my Milano sub in and it was perfect!“
“Interesting and tasty cuisine. A modern take on Italian. The menu changes, so do not count on reading the menu online on other menu sites. I had the wedge salad antipasto and it was good. Plus, the roast beef sandwich. Bread used in appetizers was good and super fresh.“
“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.“
“we ordered out twice last week - pizza one night and dinners another night. The pizza was the best NY style pizza! The dinners (lasagne and chicken marsala) were wonderful. The portions are plentiful for lunch the following day! We will be back. highly recommend.“
“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“
“We had a late lunch, so not busy. Food was excellent. Service was good, as was the atmosphere. I feel to judge it thoroughly and truly, I should go at peak hours. However, I would definitely go again, and I have already recommended it to a friend.“
“This was our first visit, and we'll absolutely be back. The staff was friendly and helpful in providing recommendations. We ordered the Jerry and the chicken salad. The Jerry was spaghetti squash, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, and shrimp. Boy was it tasty! The chicken salad was amazing and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bread was freshly baked and hot when it arrived. We also ordered the bruschetta. Although it tasted good, the bread was not what I expected.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, Palestinian and vegetarian options“
“Gregorio's is the perfect neighborhood Italian Restaurant. After living in Bronx and eating where the "Goodfellas" eat, Gregarios is a close match. Pizza is awesome. All dishes are savory and plentiful. Had the Veal chop thisbb by past weekend...Superior! It gets crowded so make a reservation“
“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“
“This restaurant is extremely clean, and the food is amazing! I loved the atmosphere as well. The serving size is very big and our order was ready within 10 minutes. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for halal italian in the DMV area.“
“First, please note, this is a Napoletana style Pizza place, which is not to be confused with NY type pizza, nor Chicago type pizza, nor Pizza Hut type pizza. You might be disappointed if you are expecting those types of pizza. Also, this is not a low end pizzeria, and their food is made fresh on premises. We live nearby in a walkable distanced home, and so we frequent this place fairly often, and my wife is a picky eater who has liked everything that we've ordered here, appetizers, salads, and pizza. We have found the service to be very snappy (fast), friendly and efficient. I consider this a top notch fast casual, no-waiter type restaurant that provides good value. Worth a try if you've never had Napoletana style pizza.“
“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.“
“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.“
“The service starts as you are greeted at the door by the attentive hostess, escorted to your seat, met by the waiter and provided your clean menus, another server asks for drinks and they are brought immediately. Right away, you order is taken and then comes the fresh, tasty bread, butter and sauce. And then the appetizer arrives steaming hot, right out of the kitchen. Followed by a waiter quietly refilling the water and ice tea. From the back corner and behind a barrier the manager is looking across the medium-size restaurant floor and bar area for anyone in need of service. He addresses everything quietly. Noone hovers over the guests, instead the servers constantly check your drinks and quietly refill them. Their manners and service are consistent. Without exception they each say please, may I, thank you and so on. This crew is well-trained and very good at what they do. And again, timely, the food came out and both dishes were hot from the kitchen. I was warned my plate was hot and we were offered another serving of parmesan and oil bread dip. A loud noise from a delivery driver is blaring music in the foyer and the manager immediately addresses it as he should. The food was excellent, tasty, not just heated up, not generic, not bland. Its refreshing to visit a new restaurant and enjoy a new and good taste. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, with a good ambiance, the correct background music at the proper volume. And all the staff were consistently masked and careful on how they seated people with seperation without being too obvious. This was our first time visiting. The customers were varied, maybe 26-30 in number around 8 pm. There were families, couples and dates and so on. We recommend this place. It's a bit far for us but we definitely intend on returning. As for the cost, it was right in line with all the Italian restaurants.“
“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.“
“I understand how it feels to have low expectations for food and then be pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I had a great experience with the pizza - the amount of cheese and sauce on it, along with the light and crunchy crust, must have been a real treat for my taste buds. Based on my recommendation, I would consider trying their pizza myself. And if you do end up trying their burgers or sandwiches in the future, please let me know how they are!“
“New owner was telling me about their new cheesesteaks, they had a deal going for $7.99 for an 8” sub, chips, and a soda all in that price. That was the most incredible cheesesteak I’ve ever had and the price in unbelievable at that price!! Found my new go to spot for lunch!“
“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.“
“- ⭐ Swift Order Service: Despite the long wait time, the order service is impressively quick, ensuring minimal time spent hungry.- ⭐ Limited Menu Options: While choices are limited, each item on the menu is crafted with care and precision, focusing on quality over quantity.- ⭐ High-Quality Dough: The pizza dough stands out for its perfect balance of chewiness and crispiness, setting a high standard for Neapolitan-style pizza.- ⭐ Flavorful Toppings: Whether it's the classic Margherita, the bold Mariana Rustica with Mozzarella and Nduja, or the unique Oven Roasted Potato and Onion Pizza, each topping is bursting with flavor.- ⭐ Must-Try Nduja Addon: The inclusion of Nduja, a spicy spreadable pork sausage, is a must for adding a delicious protein element with a kick to your pizza.- ⭐ Worth the Wait: Despite the lengthy wait time, the exceptional taste and quality of the pizzas make every minute worth it, leaving a lasting impression on your taste buds.“
“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.“
“I wanted to post an update since my last review. I’m so impressed at the professionalism and follow up I received from the manager after my feedback. Ms. Robertson was thoughtful. Kind and helpful in discussing what happened and she also rectified the situation by providing gift certificates so we can have another opportunity to go back to the restaurant. Thank you for taking care of your customers. We are very pleased with this outcome.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Went there and ordered pizza today and my husband and I was very pleased, the customer service was impeccable and I definitely would suggest this spot, to anyone that is in the area and definitely worth the drive. You’ll definitely see us again.“
“This is a nice quaint resturant located in a strip mall with outdoor dining. We were seated fast. Our server was new but he was friendly and tried hard. He made good suggestions and knew the menu. The cocktails were aces! One of the best dirty martinis I've ever had and I'm a martini connoisser. The food was delicious and well prepared. This restaurant is a gem and the price point is excellent. A great value for the portion size and food quality. I can't wait to come back again when I'm in the DC area.Parking: Large parking lot“
“Some of the best pizza in the DMV! We order from them frequently. If you cherish a good crust, theirs is highly recommended, crunchy with a great chew to it. They have an impressive variety of fresh toppings, and not just the same old: gyro meat, fresh garlic, ricotta, spinach, you name it. And they're not stingy with the toppings either! The sauce is savory and not sickly sweet like some other pizza places I won't name but rhyme with Shmoppa Shmon's. Pretty much every time we order from them they have some sort of wallet-friendly promotion going on that offers significant savings. And the service is great too: whether we pick up or get delivery, our food always comes hot, fresh, quickly, and with a big smile. I can't recommend this place highly enough. They earned this review!“
“Went in for the first time today. I've been looking for a place that serves good lamb and beef gyros, and this place is fantastic. The meat was full of flavor and, most importantly, was not dry. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu in the future.“
“The food is fantastic; having grown up on Italian food in NJ.My issue is with one of the managers.There is nothing better than fantastic Italian food accompanied with good red wine.I came in on a federal holiday (Monday) and was surprised at the fact the bar was packed at lunchtime.Regardless…. I ordered my food, but also wanted some great red wine.My server recognized me, and understood when I asked how long the bottle of red that I wanted was open.Within a few minutes… someone (who was clearly the front of the house manager); yelled out loud “Am I giving this away?” Because I wanted a sample.My server tried to talk her down, and in the meantime, the daytime drunks sitting at the bar chimed in about free samples.You need to figure out how you want to sell wine.Don’t you dare expect a guest to pay a chunk of change for vinegar (wine opened for more than 6 hours)…especially when you carry a decent wine list.Give your guests some credit. And please… don’t embarrass us when we ask for a taste of an open bottle.“
“Everyone is always welcoming and the food and atmosphere never disappoints. Enjoy the classic background music. It’s nice to go into an establishment where they appreciate your business.Dietary restrictions: They always are careful about my husband’s shellfish allergy.“
“Tasty Pizza-Fresh Ingredients! I introduced a friend today to Potomac Pizza. The Potomac location just off Falls/River Rds. We arrived in the early afternoon & informed no server this afternoon please order/pay@counter! We ordered/paid accordingly. Found a booth & awaited Our meal. A large thin crust pizza (sausage, pepperoni, onions & cheese), garlic knots, a Coke & beer. Shortly drinks arrived cold, pizza & garlic knots hot. My friend loved the garlic knots-delicious flavor. The pizza-Delicious, fresh ingredients especially creamy melted mozzarella, flavorful sausage & onions. See Photos.“
“At Luciano, I recently dove into their "Meat Trio" pizza, and let me tell you, it's a culinary masterpiece. The crust strikes the perfect balance between crispy and chewy, providing an ideal base for the explosion of flavors to come. The trio of meats was a savory delight in every bite, and I decided to amp it up a notch by adding mushrooms, which added a delightful earthiness to the mix. The cheese, a gooey perfection, brought everything together seamlessly. Luciano's commitment to quality ingredients and culinary finesse truly shines through in this pizza, making it a must-try for anyone seeking a delicious and satisfying dining experience.“
“Walking in, I was impressed by the clean, well lit building. I ordered Chicken Alfredo with penne pasta. Original cost was $13 and some change but they gave me a discount because I work in the same shopping area. When my delivery arrived I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo! My first impression looking at it was that there was enough portions for me to eat twice which is awesome considering the the price. The sauce was definitely creamy but I felt that it could've been a bit thicker, it was a little thin. There was plenty of chicken, they did not hold back! The pasta noodles were perfect, not too hard not too soft. I do wonder about the quality of the chicken. Was it cooked that moment, earlier that day or was it frozen/precooked.. The Garlic bread was epic! Two nice toasted buttery sized pieces.. Overall I enjoyed the meal. I suspect there pizza is better so that would be my order next time I stop by. Theyve got great lunch deals soo be sure to stop by and check it out!“
“We found Listrani's catering menu online, and reached out to see if they could do a last minute catering delivery for a school trip in McClean. They were super flexible, accepted our tax-free school EIN, and accommodated our changing schedule at the very last minute. We had 30 high school students and chaperones, and purchased two orders of Chicken Tenders and Fries, one pan of macaroni and cheese, one large Caesar Salad, and Listrani's even through in some Foccacio on the house. We were here on a coach bus, so they delivered to our hotel, and included all of the paper products and condiments we needed for free. The food was delicious, affordable, ample, and the students all approved. If you are visiting the area and looking for an easy big group order, your best choice is Listrani's!Kid-friendliness: For large group school/team catering, they have delicious chicken fingers, fries, and macaroni and cheese that even the adults will like!“
“After living in NY I have longed for Italian NY style pizza & this is by far the best pizza in the NOVA area. Finally! The crust is delicious-tasting like they used NY water to make it. The crust is also thin and not too thick which is amazing. I am always greeted with professionalism and kindness. ????????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I have been coming here for years! Olive garden that's across the street is usually packed and lacks a ton of flavor compared to cantina D'Italia. You get much bigger portions at cantina and their lunch menu is a lot cheaper than the one across the street.The ambiance is slightly dark and a bit romantic, which I like a lot.The owners are very friendly and welcoming. I will continue to dine here for as long as I exist.5/5“
“Family birthday gathering, 13 of us, all ages, from the birthday boy, age 74, to the youngest grandchild, age 3, a couple of teenagers and young adults. All were comfortable and happy. Service couldn't have been friendlier, and not overbearing. Everything, just right.“
“Our family went yesterday for lunch for the first time, and we were so impressed by this small, downtown Mclean restaurant. Our server (Melo) was quick and attentive, and the food was delicious! We shared frito misto, burrata salad, chicken parmigiana, pizza burrata and gnocchi!! All fantastic. We finished our meal with cannoli and tiramisu and shots of espresso. I can't recommend this place enough and would definitely come back!“
“I love Rocco's, one of my all time favorite restaurants for over 35 years, it always had the best pizza. I have fond memories of this place as a kid and it's still great. A real gem and reasonably priced for McLean. Highly recommend!“
“We were pleased that North Italia was able to increase our reservation from 2 people to 4 just a few hours before our arrival. We had a lovely outdoor table and Lily was our server. She was fantastic and took excellent care of us. The food was super - Salmon, Chicken parmesan, a brunch Omelet, and a Caesar Salmon salad. We split a huge dessert. All were excellent. Nice cocktails too. The manager came around and welcomed us - very nice. We go here often and will be back soon!!“
“I absolutely love Ledos. I have gone to other locations before, but this one has the nicest staff. I have never felt so appreciated at a restaurant before coming to this Ledos. The staff does everything they can to make sure you are taken care of. The food comes out so quickly and I never find myself having to wait. I can't thank the staff enough for all they do for their customers!!! You guys are awesome!“
“I grew up with this shop, and it's just timelessly delicious. Best sandwiches and nicest staff in the free world. The Italian subs are their hallmark, but the other sandwiches are all terrific. They're stuffed to bursting with meats and cheeses, and very tasty combinations. Their to-go dinners are amazing. The picatta, lasagna, sauces, pepperoni rolls...not a bad meal to be had. Get the alfredo or sausage sauce and you'll not be sorry. The grocery part of the shop boasts selective imports from Italy, always a fun stop. Come for lunch, and pick up dinner. Greatest place in Vienna.And get the cannoli.“
“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.“
