50 Best Italian Restaurants near Reston

“This place is great! We have lived in the area for 5 years and ordered take out a bunch of times, but this was the first time we actually sat inside. The service was excellent, really friendly attentive staff. Mark was our server and he was superb. We ordered cocktails, soup and salad to start. Then the sea bass and butternut squash pasta and some wine for our main. All excellent! Our 2 year old came with us and they even gave her fresh bread to take home because she loved it so much. We will probably be regulars there now!“

“I’ve been coming to Luciano’s in Oakton for years, and it never disappoints! This place has been a staple for me whenever I’m craving authentic Italian food, and their pizza is hands down some of the best in the area.

Incredible Pizza – The cheese pizza is a Must-Try

I’ve tried just about everything on the menu, but I always come back to their White/Cheese Pizza—it’s absolutely perfect. The crust is just the right balance of crispy and chewy, and the combination of garlic, olive oil, pecorino, and mozzarella makes it rich and flavorful without being too heavy. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out!

Great Ice Cream & A Solid Wine Selection

After a great meal, I always make room for their ice cream—it’s smooth, creamy, and a perfect way to end dinner. They also have a decent wine selection, and while it’s not the most extensive, they’ve picked quality wines that pair well with their dishes. A glass of wine with a fresh pizza or pasta dish just hits differently!

Warm Atmosphere & Friendly Staff

One of the reasons I keep coming back is the consistency—the food is always great, and the service is warm and welcoming. Whether I’m grabbing a casual dinner, dining with family, or just stopping in for a quick bite, Luciano’s always feels like home.

If you’re in the Vienna/Oakton area and love Italian food, this is the spot. After all these years, it’s still one of my favorites, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon!“

“Great venue and great staff and food.“

“light crust with good crunch“

“Great bar atmosphere and bartenders.“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“Lucia's is my favorite Italian restaurant. Lasagna,Ravioli,Pizza, fresh baked bread and the best Steak and cheese subs !“

“Great Pizza! Nice customer service!“

“Love this place Great food!“

“All of it but my favorite is the meatballs and sauce.“

“Today Italian Gourmet was amazing getting a tray of sandwiches ready in very short time. They are the best!“

“Excellent food and the owner aims to please her customers!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We’ve been meaning to dine at Dolce for years and finally had the opportunity to do so recently. We wish we did it sooner. The interior atmosphere was authentic and personal. It wasn’t made and genuinely felt like an authentic Italian restaurant.

The food was absolutely delicious as well. Their house salad was balsamic based and it was fresh and delightful. We also especially enjoyed the shrimp scampi. We look forward to visiting again and trying other dishes.“

“Loved my experience here! I always come to this restaurant as it isn't too expensive and the food is delicious. I love getting the chicken alfredo pasta and the mozarella bites those are amazing! The waiters are so nice as well and are very patient. Overall I would definitely recommend!“

“The place was empty, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. The food was very good, especially the bread. I guess they make it in the restaurant. The bread had fresh and tasty flavor…. It smelled so good… My chicken marinara was yummy! 😋 The service was good. Nice waitress was working with us. There are a lot of free parking spaces behind the restaurant.“

“A fantastic experience! Gabby was our server - - and did such a fantastic job ensuring our first-time experience was excellent. The appetizer and main course selections we made were well-prepared. Love the space too. The hostess greeted us and selected a great table for us. Top on our list during our next visit to this area.“

“My favorite pizza place.They know what I want. Great customer service too.“

“This was my parents' favourite neighborhood restaurant and it's quickly become one of mine too! Family owned & operated, the team takes the time to get to know you during your visits. The portions are overwhelming; you get so much for your money, there's plenty to share or for a second meal at home. The Italian-inspired fare is superb...and Cantina makes what is honestly one of the best spicy marinara sauces I've ever tasted. Sneaky good craft beer selection too! Will visit again (and again).“

“This place has the best hoagies! Or subs or grinders....whatever you want to call them, they are delicious! The bread is fresh and so is everything else! It reminds me of the hoagie shop from back home and has the smell of fresh bread and sandwiches that are so packed full of meat and cheese!“
