50 Best Italian Restaurants near Oakton

“Luciano has always been special for me. I grew up in the area before moving to New York but always make a point to dine here when ever I come back down. The veal and chicken dishes are always delicious. Their own salad dressing is excellent. My most recent visit didn't let me down. My waiter was extremely attentive and polite. I highly recommend.“

“We have always loved their food and wonderful service. We just had a recent banquet order and the whole team was amazing to work with start to finish. We especially loved the salads and pastas! They worked extremely hard to stay in our price ranges as we are a school club and have a limited budget. Thank you Tony’s for support our schools and community!“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

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

“The bread was bussin, the calamari tasted like fried egg but in a good way. The mozarella sticks on the other hand could use better breading. The server was friendly but a bit pushy when I couldn’t eat everything. Which is understandable. Gotta be a conservationist. But lesson learned for next time. Just get the bread and calamari. 👍🏻“

“Doesn't disappoint from walking in to finished meal. Classic Italian, top notch service, worth every dollar spent.“

“I had a great experience at Paisano’s Pizza, and I especially want to recognize Gaby for her excellent customer service. She is incredibly patient, helpful, and genuinely takes the time to make sure customers understand their options before ordering.

What really stood out to me was how attentive she was with elderly customers and people who were unsure or confused about the menu. She never made them feel rushed or uncomfortable she calmly explained things and made sure they were taken care of.

Customer service like that makes a real difference. Gaby is a great representative of Paisano’s Pizza, and she deserves recognition for the way she treats people. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“I live in the neighborhood and Sal’s is absolutely a godsend. We probably either eat in or carry out 3 to 4 times a month. The food is consistently first rate. Dining in, the atmosphere is casual and convivial. Any neighborhood would be lucky to have a place that is of such consistent high-quality and as welcoming.“

“good food and good employees 👌“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“Been coming to Rafaginos since 1999. In the past month my wife and I have eaten here twice and thoroughly enjoyed their new menu. It's fantastically delicious!!!!“

“Terrific pizza!. Staff were wonderful. Definitely recommend. We will be going back!“

“Our first visit to Cafe Renaissance and will not be our last. Wonderful staff, menu and food. The wine list is extensive and overall dining experience could not have been better; it was a super evening.“

“The food here was amazing! We went here for a random date night on a Saturday. It’s pretty tight on the inside and we had a stroller so we ate outside at one of the outdoor tables. The fries were delicious and the wings were really good. Keep in mind the pizza sizes aren’t typical so you may need to order a size up if feeding 3-4 people when you typically may have been fine with a medium.“

“Wonderful experience. Great neighborhod restaurant.Good service, great food, handicap accessable, lots of parking, fair prices.“

“Stopped in on a whim, in the area and looking for something decent for dinner. Dolce Vita Italian is outstanding, from atmosphere to desert and EVERYTHING in between. We got the chicken marcella and filet tips gnocchi and both were off the hook good, their bread and an oil is also fantastic. The lemon martini and DV & sour drinks were very tasty. To top it all off we felt like we were in an authentic Italian restaurant in Italy and the staff were just fantastic. If in the area this place it’s tops. Yes we left with some chocolate cake to go!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here for years and always had a great experience. They serve some of the best Italian dishes in all on Northern VA. The place is really clean and the staff are very friendly. It seems to be a favorite spot for locals with a very family friendly vibe. I really like their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Pollo Bryan. The calamari here is excellent at well. On Monday nights, they have a large 3 topping pizza for only $11.99 which is an amazing deal for a high quality brick oven pizza. They also have prime rib on Wednesday nights which I love to get too. Whenever I meet up with friends at Giradinos, they all say that the food is great too. I need to try some more of their entrees but it’s hard to when I really love getting what I’m used to. Highly recommend this place if you love Italian dishes, brick oven pizza and some good wine.“

“Hands down the best pizza in VA gotta get the MIC MAC. 🚀“

“The good was hella good. Like I ate everything like I can’t explain it’s so good. Warm cooked fresh it’s just amazing I love it I would def comeback when I visit this area again. The pasta was sooooo good and then the bacon cheese fries were rlly good and Andrea was sooo nice to me I love her.“

“Best Italian around with the friendliest staff who are always right there to greet you and make you feel so welcome!“

“Had a wonderful dinner with friends here. The menu has a great selection. The food we ordered were all delicious. We had the scallops, meatballs and crab dip for appetizers. Lamb chops, crab cakes and ribeye for main course. Mango sorbet and cappuccino creme brûlée for dessert. We liked all of it except the risotto that accompanied the lamb chop. Our wonderful server was fantastic. I give this restaurant 5 stars for quality of food, price and service.“

“Restaurant for the family. Nice environment!!!!“
