50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lorton

“The food was amazing, the husband and I shared an order of spaghetti and sausage, fried zucchini, and garlic knots. Everything was very good but the garlic knots are out of this world.“

“We have been twice now and loved everything we ordered. The food is fresh and homemade. The service was great too. We will definitely go back, especially for the stuffed pizza.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“Great food and service we were at the Woodbridge Virginia location celebrating the end of our daughter radiation therapy treatment and we had Amanda as a waitress wonderful service and then they congratulated us and didn't charged us for the full meal. Not about the money but we still have love ❤ out there.“

“I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Vaughn, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. From the moment we were seated, Vaughn went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. He was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely cared about making our meal enjoyable. This was our first time at The Farmhouse and Vaughn deserves recognition for making our visit memorable. I would absolutely recommend asking for him if you want top-notch service. The food was superb. There was not a single item that did exceed our expectations!“

“MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AT MAGGIANO’s, SPRINGFIELD, VA! There are not enough word in the dictionary to describe my experience in Maggiano’s! From the time I make reservations through walking through the front door of the restaurant, the service, the managers, the chef, the food, to serving the BEST ITALIAN CUISINE SINCE ITALY, and cleanliness in the restrooms. Look, I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA, where there are some of the best Italian restaurants on the East Coast but those restaurants do not compare to my Maggiano’s. I seriously have to drive out of my way, Springfield, to get the Best Italian on the East Coast. It’s worth every second. The cuisine inside this Maggiano’s tastes exactly like my Italian grandparent’s cooked it. I frequent this restaurant at least once or twice a week. Thank you Mo, (manager), Jessie (server), and the rest of the staff at my Maggiano’s! Dana Neese, 12-23-2023.“

“This establishment is outstanding and the service is exemplary. Jenn our bartender was attentive and on point. Highly recommend!“

“We love this place, never a bad meal! Made from scratch. We’ve been dining here for over 7 years! 🥗 🍝“

“As part of the US Army, I was sustained in Italy many years ago. I have struggled until now to find quality, amazing tasting Italian food. Mamma's Kitchen in Alexandria surpassed all expectations. Every course of the meal was just what you would expect when dining in Italy. Thanks for the great experience and for the memories it brought back.“

“We are from chicago, here passing through visiting family. This place was recommended to try by family so we did, it was near our hotel. I had my doubts because it was a chain and reading some of the reviews but to each there own, it was actually great, we loved it.
Both pepperoni pizza and wings were good. Its a Saturday night, the pizza was half off so prices were great. We went there late right before they closed so no one was there, order was done quick, the gentleman that took our order was helpful and very nice. We did carry out but you can dine in. Place seems very clean. Plenty of free parking, they are open till 11pm on Saturdays. I would recommend this place for some good pizza.“

“Enjoyed the food immensely!“

“The best pizza I've had in this area. What a hidden gem this place is!!“

“We love the food… we eat here often when in Alexandria. Spaghetti Carbonara is one of my favorites! And, my 7-year old grandson gives the kids spaghetti 2 thumbs up!“

“Food was exceptional. Lovely spot. Owner/manager remembered me from a previous visit, which was lovely. Server hovered initially, asking me twice if I was ready to order while I was waiting for my guest to arrive. Then when she did arrive, he disappeared and 2-3 times I had to ask another waiter to have him clear plates and take our order. But I would recommend Corso highly. Worth it.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting your restaurant for the first time and truly enjoyed the experience.The food was delicious! However, I wanted to kindly suggest reconsidering the presentation of your tiramisu. Serving it on a bed of Hershey's chocolate syrup overwhelms the delicate flavors of the dessert, and not all guests enjoy chocolate—myself included. Tiramisu shines best with its classic balance of espresso, mascarpone, and a hint of cocoa. I believe many guests would appreciate it more in a more traditional form. Thank you for considering this feedback!“

“In shop dining: October 2025: Stopped by and had a steak and cheese sub and fries - very good and recommened. One draw back was there is only can sodas. I like the fountain drinks much better than can or bottle. Overall pretty good meal and did not break the bank.

Delivery October 2024: Very good, tasty pizza.“

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

“Great food! We go there every week at least twice a week.“

“good food and good employees 👌“

“This is my spot! Been coming to La Casa for over 40 years and the food has always been on point. It's a great feeling knowing we have a local family owned small business in Alexandria that is successful. Thank you for the many memories you all have provided over the years through great food, and atmosphere. Keep up the great work. Thank you.“

“I had such a great experience at Olive Garden thanks to our server, Niyat! She was extremely attentive, friendly, and made sure everything at our table was perfect from start to finish. She checked in often without being overbearing, kept our drinks full, and gave us great menu recommendations. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and goes above and beyond to make the dining experience enjoyable. Thank you, Niyat, for making our visit so welcoming — we’ll definitely be coming back and asking for you again!“

“Excellent food; great variety!“

“What a pleasant surprise! Took a stroll to get a late breakfast while getting our car worked on nearby and just decided to pop in. At 10:30 am, even though they had a breakfast menu, my husband decided he wanted lasagna, so I thought what the heck, I'll get a lunch/dinner item too. What a treat! We had their bruschetta to start (WOW!) I had the Chicken Milanese and we finished off our food adventure with a yummy gelato! Food was amazing and the service from Isabel was top notch too. Isabel is very sweet and personable and has worked there for four years. That's a tribute to the restaurant and management for sure! Huge portions and very reasonable prices. I wish we lived closer, or we'd be regulars for sure! Keep up the great work Pizzaiolos!

“I have been going to this location since it opened, and was excited when they came back, I missed the Rte 1 location at the corner of Telegraph so much. The food is as good as it ever was, a family favorite, this trip I got the Metro Sub and a cheese pizza. The family agrees with me, delicious!!!!!“

“I love coming in here especially when Evelyn is working. She is always so kind and helpful, she really makes this store feel like such a warm environment, Javier is another families face I see when i pick up, it’s obvious that he really loves his job and he is commuted to what he does, it’s rare that you see a boy his age be such a hard worker. Paisanos is definitely my favourite pizza in town, the employees are just an extra plus.“

“Came here with my family and my server was Brayden. He was very nice and helpful with everything made sure we had everything we needed. Food was excellent i loved the pizza. Food and Service was a A+“

“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!“

“Have been ordering here for years, great service and the pizza is always good. Plenty of deals to be had. Paisanos is my go-to spot for a reason. Pizza comes early and the quality is always on point. I'm also a fan of the subs, and the wings are mad good too. Also a local NoVA business, you can't go wrong with Paisanos.“

“I just loved eating here this afternoon, not only do they have delicious pizza that you leaves you feeling great, the customer service is top notch! I have not truly experienced great customer service like this since pre-covid. They also have a great gluten free pizza, cooked a served on its own tray! Homemade salad dressings and herbs growing out front! Will definitely be back!“

“Excellent food. The owner is a great chef and the staff are very friendly. Chicken kebabs are the best.“

“I got the all you can eat pasta with angel hair and the creamy mushroom sauce. I forgot the five dollar all you can eat topping of chicken, so I decided to go without that the rest of my plates. The plates come out fast. We had a party of four and two got soup, two got salads. We were only given one order of breadsticks and told they ran out. We left 15 minutes before closing. I still feel like they could’ve brought us some more breadsticks…

Another friend got a lasagna plate, someone else got the pasta and I forget what our other person ordered.

The two of us got soup got the gnocchi soup. That’s always my favorite. It was brought out a normal portion sizes, and super hot. I like that the service was fast because in the past when I got that all you can eat things they take really long time.

The pasta portions for all you can eat, were normal size the first time the other times in a smaller plate, but I felt like it was about the same portions.

The waitress did give us containers to take them to go, including any leftover soup. I thought that was cool. Some places that do all you can eat don’t let you do that.

We went on a Monday night. There was many tables empty. We arrived at 8 o’clock. They close at 10. That was a sufficient amount of time to spend eating and enjoying friends.

I ordered a piña colada that was really good and in a gigantic cup. They did no ice in my cup of water.

I hope this helps you out !“

“The most tasty Pizza in the area. It is so authentic and good. nice atmosphere and a very clean restaurant. the owner and the workers are so sweet and friendly. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“We placed a catering order for a school-based event and had a great experience! The team was flexible and accommodated all of our needs (e.g., two delivery times across a multi-hour event). Management was very responsive to calls and emails. Deliveries were on-the-dot punctual, pizza was hot and tasty, and the drivers were friendly. Would definitely recommend!“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“I came in on Thursday (06/19) and it was extremely busy but even with the rush the man and woman who helped me were very nice the man especially was so friendly it honestly made my day and they were a big help and I still got my food in a timely manner which was impressive and it was super good like dangerously good I might come back too often now“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“this is a amazing restaurant I have been coming here since 1989 and the food is wonderful the staff is friendly and the pasta and pizza is great. Awesome.“

“They do buffalo chicken pizza right! Buffalo Sauce, Pizza Cheese, (CRISPY) Buffalo Chicken, Gorgonzola Cheese and Red Onions. -->All other ways of doing buffalo chicken pizza are incorrect! Most pizza places just use hot sauce and grilled chicken, which is boring. So, kudos to Paisano's for doing it the right way!

Their hot buffalo wings are probably the best local pizza take-out wings in the DMV. You will be very pleasantly surprised!

Their regular pepperoni pizza with just red sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is above average. It is nowhere near the best pizza in the area, but you absolutely won't be disappointed if you order it either. ... but based on the delicious buffalo chicken pizza and wings, I'm giving them 5/5!“

“Great food!! very friendly!!!“

“When you come to Armetta's you are family... warmly welcomed family! A Great Menu, Great Food, Professional Staff. Authentic Italian dishes, pair that with a Great Wine selection. We are regulars.“

“Most unique gelato I ever had. But it wasn’t bad! 👍🏻“

“Great service and tasty food . Will return again“

“Excellent food, great customer service! Highly recommend!“

“Great halal food variety 👏“

“I just had a slice of Chicken a la vodka and steak and cheese and an order of garlic knots. It was amazing! I highly recommend Johnny's New York Style Pizzeria if you are looking for the New York style dining experience.“

“Love Vocelli pizza! They have great lunch specials, fast delivery, and online ordering with email updates on status.“
