“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.“

“Enjoyed the food immensely!“

“The food was amazing, the husband and I shared an order of spaghetti and sausage, fried zucchini, and garlic knots. Everything was very good but the garlic knots are out of this world.“

“I love paisanos pizza!! Like a lot. Decided to order some garlic knots tonight with my order…brooo…these are NOT garlic knots. These are dry bread knots. I’ll be mixing up my own buttery garlic spread to pour over these to make them garlic knots. Like come on. Do better. But nevertheless, loveeee the pizza. I’ll be back!! 🍕“

“great sausage and pepper pizza!“

“Anthony's Restaurant is such a lovely spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with a comforting yet refined touch. The atmosphere feels cozy and stylish, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’d return to for a casual, chic meal.“

“The best pizza I've had in this area. What a hidden gem this place is!!“

“Dolce Vita provides a consistently great experience with really good food, outstanding old-fashions and other drinks, all at good prices! They are very kid friendly and also a great place for meeting friends. Tip, the bar area is a bit quieter if there is a lot of noise or families in the main area. Not a bad thing, just a factor in how you want your dining experience to go.“

“We love the food… we eat here often when in Alexandria. Spaghetti Carbonara is one of my favorites! And, my 7-year old grandson gives the kids spaghetti 2 thumbs up!“

“The service is warm and pleasantly engaging and the food and beverages are outstanding. What’s not to love about Lupo?“

“love the food, great staff always making sure everything is good. our favorite pizza place. Come for food, leave as a friend 🧡“

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

“I’m a huge fan of this restaurant and ownership. With that being said they’ve always been open and receptive to honest reviews. Today…slam dunk!! My first time having the meatball sandwich. Sooooo good. Tasted fresh, it was hot and cheesy. Just the right amount of sauce and perfectly sized meatballs. This is my new “go to” sandwich!! Good job Springfield.“

“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.“

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

“Service was awesome. Food was good, especially sesame bun when we sat down, and good tomato brushetta. Not a fan a dogmatic menu statements against substitutions, etc. Also my wife was not impressed with having to ask for (and pay extra) for a tiny bowl of side pasta for chicken parm. Tables seem to be too close together. Overall OK experience being our first time there.“

“This is my spot! Been coming to La Casa for over 40 years and the food has always been on point. It's a great feeling knowing we have a local family owned small business in Alexandria that is successful. Thank you for the many memories you all have provided over the years through great food, and atmosphere. Keep up the great work. Thank you.“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“

“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!“

“Had a great evening catching up at this amazing Italian spot. Reservations are recommended, but we sat at the bar and had a fantastic time. Will definitely be back to try more of the delicious food. Amazing staff, always smiles, never made us feel rushed and gave us lots of laughs.“

“Great pizza and salad. Friendly and accommodating staff. Wish we were local so we could eat here again!“

“Major construction outside but posted as open! The vibes in this cute little Italian restaurant were on point. Everyone knows about the martini special here and the bartender David is 10/10 super fast and super attentive. Warm greetings from the host and very pretty restaurant to sit in. Chicken parm was crispy, melty fresh mozzarella, totally perfect. Thank you Chef! I will be back. Come with me!!!!“

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

“Had a chicken sandwich which was surprisingly delicious for a pizza shop! I forgot the cashiers name but he was extremely helpful with the parking situation. I’ve eaten from her a couple times and their pizzas are always delicious too! A tiny bit on the pricier side with regards to their pizza but it’s allowable since it’s in Arlington and also since the quality does feel and taste like it’s elevated.

10/10 would recommend!“

“Dinner here on our last night in the DC area and it was delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, we are a family of 6 so tried several but the gnocchi and penne pollo were excellent! The pizza was also a hit. Even if you’re stuffed, try a dessert. Again, we loved them all. The tiramisu, cannolis, chocolate cake, and cherry gelato were the perfect ending to our meal. Great, friendly service with a cozy atmosphere and exceptional food. Definitely recommend! All 4 kids agree!“

“Just stopped in to have an early dinner. The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere has changed. No pics on the walls. We were the only patrons in the dining room. No one else came in which was sad as this place is a wonderful gem. Food has always been delicious. Parking is tricky. But there are spaces in the alley behind with an entrance to the restaurant. Never disappointed!“

“WOW! Extraordinary service. Mina went above and beyond by preparing a meal of pizza, salad, garlic knots and desserts for my group of 150. She responded to all my emails and calls promptly and confirmed that the order would be delivered on time for our group dinner. She arrived right at 6:30pm with a delicious hot meal just as we asked. As a special surprise, she put together 2 really tasty trays of desserts and a large pan of garlic knots...and this was unexpected but offered by her. That's the type of service Mina delivers...on time, hot, with a smile and a genuinely friendly heart. She was thrilled to do business with us and I look forward to working with her when we return to the DC area next fall. Thank you, Mina! You are the BEST!“

“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.“

“Best Italian place in town 😋🍷🍝 The food is always amazing 😉😋 The service is fantastic 😊 I highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Paisano’s Pizza in Lake Ridge is always a go-to for me. The food is consistently good, portions are great, and everything tastes fresh. Delivery is fast, orders are always accurate, and the staff is friendly. Super reliable spot when you want good food without a long wait. Definitely recommend!“

“I had such an amazing experience thanks to Christian. From the moment we sat down, he was calm, kind, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to walk me through the entire menu since it was my first time there, and made sure I felt comfortable with every choice. He never made us feel rushed, which made the whole dinner feel so special and relaxed. He listened carefully to everything I wanted and was extremely understanding and sweet throughout the entire experience.
I came to celebrate my birthday, and honestly, it turned out exactly how I hoped it would largely because of him. Christian is truly the kind of server every restaurant needs if they want their guests to have an unforgettable dining experience.
I would absolutely come back and request him again only him. If you visit, do yourself a favor and ask for Christian. You won’t regret it 😃“
