Ordered DoorDash from here for the first time - eggplant parmesan and a Margherita pizza. The SADDEST Margherita I have ever seen. 4 pieces of basil and no mozzarella in sight. Eggplant parm overpriced for what it is at $22.

Fresh pasta cooked perfectly. Great pizza. It is a small restaurant, so you might have to wait a few minutes at dinner

If you order online, you should add at least 30 minutes to the pickup time. They are always running behind and I've learned to add time to the published pickup time. It is now 20 minutes past the pickup time and here I am back in my car waiting with no ETA for when my order will be ready.
We were staying in a hotel close by and used DoorDash for delivery. We ordered two Fettuccine Alfredo's. One with chicken and one with chicken and Italian sausage. I guess since it's to go they don't bother cutting anything up, which was odd and a hassle to me with us eating in a hotel. They provided a half loaf of French bread that wasn't cut and had no olive oil or butter to go with it. No to go silverware was provided. In general, the portion size of the food is large. The chicken was decently seasoned with herbs and lemon but the pasta was super bland. My husband finished his meal with the cheesecake which had a slightly off texture. He said it was the worst cheesesteak ever and didn't finish it. We probably should have ordered from Italian Oven instead.

Spaghetti Carbonara some of the best food I've ever tasted, the creamy flavor is truly unique.

The crust was flat and chewy. The margarit pizza had barely a sprig of basil. Meat pizza was sparse as well. Better options in town.

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!
