The food is good but anticipate a long wait. It was 40 minutes for us, 3 people, and we were the only seated table. The service is average. (For example, No additional water brought to the table after the first bottle was finished. Additionally, you're greeted from the back of the house.) As the only table, it was awkward to hear walk-in guests being greeted with the same question, do you have a reservation? They did not. Then an uncomfortable exchange would occur. The server/hostess would say they had no available tables and were booked for the night. Again, our table of the 3 was the only one there. During our 1.5 hours on site, only one “reservation” showed for those reserved tables.

Another Incredible Experience – A True Hidden Gem! This was our third time dining at Taste of Old Country, and it just keeps getting better. This place is a hidden gem that truly deserves more recognition. We had their signature Traditional Greek Village Salad...fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For the main course, we had the Artisan Meat Lover Pizza, and let me just say, the dough is something else...light , airy, and absolutely delicious. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. Their wine selection is top-notch and perfectly complements the food. What sets this place apart even more is their retail selection. They offer a fantastic variety of high-quality oils, spices, and seasonings you can bring home. Taste of Old Country has officially become our go-to spot. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic flavors, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional service.

We went for a birthday party and had a terrific time. The food was great, the ambiance was too. I highly recommend it!

The owner was very attentive. The only reason for not giving a five star rating was the lack of space between the starter and the mains; it just made us feel rushed at th beginning.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner here on Friday, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The food was phenomenal, and you definitely feel like you get way more than you pay for - the value is unmatched. Our wedding was at Sweeney Barn, and we tried several restaurants in the area and discussed our needs for a rehearsal dinner. Taste of Old Country was by far the best value, topped only by the fact that we had the entire space to ourselves. Don’t let the outside fool you, the inside transports you to another place and is so well appointed and cute that photos look lovely as well. Elias worked with us to meet our needs, even adapting their usual service style for private events to meet my preferences. At first I was hesitant because the somewhat more casual style didn’t fit with my original notions about a rehearsal dinner but it was so worth it and felt very upscale. Folks left full, happy, and raving about the food and experience. Thanks to the team for making our experience unforgettable!

Outstanding overall! Went to celebrate Father's Day a week early. Enjoyed a quiet & leisurely evening of drinks and tapas. The food was great & not overpriced. Staff was attentive without being overly present. One minor thing cost a star on atmosphere - because the bistro is well suited to casually paced dining they should upgrade their seating a bit, the flat wood seated chairs became uncomfortable over time. Otherwise everything was great. Looking forward to dining there again.

Found this restaurant by accident looking online for restaurants in Manassas. It's a 45-minute drive from home, but we were glad we made the trip. This is a delightful restaurant. We split the Greek Platter, and it was more than enough for two people. We purchased a bottle of Olive Oil with Greek Seasoning to take home, and I regret not purchasing the Traditional Thick Balsamic Vinegar. Delicious. We will return.

From the outside, it's easy to walk past Taste of Old Country. Once you taste their food and experience their hospitality, though, you'll never forget it! Lovely, unique wine selection paired with absolutely delicious food. Check it out for yourself, you won't be sorry.
Laura
Great sandwich and coffee. Country but elegant vibe. Lots of italian vinegars for showings. Looks like they got great wine too. Welcoming service.

I grabbed a bite to eat since I was in the area, and I'm glad I did. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly. Will revisit.
The olive 🫒 tray is about 8 un-pitted olives with store bought pita bread for 10$ please improve, the hummis was sub par and the bread was plain, the Aristotle panini was great tho. I would suggest getting a better variety of olives, and alot more of them. The olives were good, the pita was not.
Diane
Great food and wine from Greece, Spain, and Italy. Love the Greek appetizers and charcuterie boards in particular. Their selection of cheeses is wonderful.
Lisa
Best Mediterranean Restaurant around! Atmosphere is great. Food is great. Service in great!

This is a pearl hidden in an unexpected place but a treasure to find. The service is always excellent and the Greek food is lovely. Come for the olive oils, sip some wine and spoil yourself with some Greek salad. You'll return again.
