I love all things Reston and Cafesano is one of my favorite spots. Good food, nice wine list, great service. Right on Lake Thoreau. Tonight we had a signature salad, penne arrabbiata and a bottle of Chianti. Our bill was under $60. This place is the place for a good meal at a nice price. That is almost impossible to find!

Cafesano is easily one of the best spots for Italian and Mediterranean food. I recently tried the meatball panini, and it was exceptional—truly delicious and perfectly moist. You can tell they use fresh, quality ingredients.
I also have to recommend the pizza; it's absolutely great and a must-try if you visit. Whether you're craving pasta, a panini, or a slice, this place delivers! Highly recommended for quality food and flavor.
