Fantastic everything! I've already made my reservation for my birthday in November. Don't think I could have found anything better!

It is very difficult to find good Italian food in the DMV. So, if you want top notch, exceptional Italian food at very fair prices, Italian Oven is it. I highly recommend and as an Italian-American, my recommendations are few and far between.
PREGO!!!!!

Just had the most amazing experience here. I was randomly searching “good Italian restaurants near me” and man! I found it!! From the service via Saliem (our server) as well as the entire staff to the quality of ingredients… EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!

We ordered insalata caprese, spaghetti pomodoro, meat sauce, and carbonara. We also ordered the Capricciosa pizza which was cooked to literal perfection. For dessert, we got the peach flambé which was cooked by the owner, table side.

This place is for people who want a good cozy vibe with above quality standard for service and food. I will definitely come back and recommend others as this is more hidden gem vibes.

Wow. Stumbled upon this place on a drive home from DC- Hands down one of the best Italian experiences I’ve had outside of Italy (and we’ve been to Italy multiple times!). Eggplant parm was perfect. Service was fantastic. Lovely atmosphere with an accordion playing. Highly recommend - very authentic! Would definitely return if we lived here.

When I went to this location, I had a Fettuccine Alfredo it was very soupy. First time I ever had that normally I had it where the sauce was very thick, it was ok, wouldn’t order it again. the server she was very nice very pleasant. Next time I’ll stick to the pizza

Feeling like Italian? This place put you right into Italy. From the checkered tablecloth‘s to the bottles of Vino and people who are actually speaking, Italian, this place is a hidden gem. The food was perfect! It was delicious and not overdone. The menu is varied, and though it’s a little pricey, this place makes it well worth it.

Completely rude staff - inedible food - extremely poor dining experience avoid at all costs.

The beauty of the Italian Oven are its traditions over the last 40 years. Excellent home made bread and desserts. Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly service. We recently returned to the restaurant after having moved from McLean, and remarked that the restaurant has not missed a beat. It’s a McLean landmark.

Very authentic and family owned Italian restaurant.
Food is delicious and very authentic.
The owner Salvador greeted us warmly and served us some delicious appetizers free of charge.
On Saturday night they have a singer that sang very soft and beautiful Frank, Sinatra, and Bobby Daren style songs.
Pricing is very reasonable. Pizza was delicious.
