“Okay, stop scrolling. You can skip the flight to Italy because Bacco is legit the entire experience. It’s not just dinner; it’s a whole mood. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is this perfect mashup of super chic and that cozy, intimate kitchen feeling. It's totally transportive, like stepping onto the set of a cool European movie. The aesthetics alone are worth the visit.
But the food is the main character. I'm talking about pasta that isn't just al dente, it’s obsessed-with-it good. Every noodle had a soulful chew, cradling a sauce that was clearly simmered for hours—real deal, no shortcuts. This isn't your average spaghetti; this is what happens when ingredients get the respect they deserve. From the first bite of the appetizer to the last spoonful of the exquisite Tiramisu (which is a non-negotiable must-try, by the way), every plate felt so intentional and fresh.
And the service? Our server was amazing, seriously. They weren't just taking orders; they were acting like a super knowledgeable friend, guiding us through the wine list and recommending the absolute best mains with genuine enthusiasm. This place just hits different. If you haven't been, your date night or special occasion rotation is completely missing out. Go immediately. Five stars, no notes.“

“😃“The Mark restaurant is like a vacation; it transports you, and it becomes a lot more than just about the food“

“My husband wanted to surprise me with date night and decided to take me to Olive Garden since I've never eaten here before. I was excited and nervous to try it since I've heard very mixed reviews from a lot of people, but I left feeling quite satisfied with what we ordered and the amazing service.

For an early evening dinner on a Friday night, the wait was non-existent to our surprise and we were seated immediately. We were getting a little worried though because after being seated, we were waiting at our table for about 5-10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. Thankfully, after flagging down someone and getting momentarily helped by a different waiter, our own waiter, Jonathan, showed up and apologized for the wait. Jonathan's demeanor, professionalism, cheerful attitude and humor saved the experience from going downhill.

My husband and I ordered some drinks (which were amazing!), and calamari to share which was crispy and flavorful while paired with the 2 dipping sauces it came with. The restaurant had a special going on in which we could order soup or salad and pasta of our choice as much as we wanted. My husband ordered the Zuppa Toscana soup and created his pasta to have Italian sausage, five cheese marinara and angel hair. I ordered the Chicken & Gnocchi soup with fettuccine alfredo and crispy chicken. Everything was so good, the portions were decent and all the food had incredible flavor. The breadsticks were fresh and so fluffy; we enjoyed dipping them in our soups.

We loved that with this deal they send you home with a pasta to go, so we both customized another pasta each and also ordered dessert to go (we got the Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake and Black Tie Mousse Cake which were both so good!).

Overall, we both very much enjoyed our time at Olive Garden and were very happy to have Jonathan as our waiter; it's not often we get outstanding service from a waiter so this was one to remember! We've love to return in the future, and hopefully we can get Jonathan as our waiter again!“

“Great food, great service and the bread pudding was fabulous.“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Amazing food with attention to detail and presentation. 😁Next best thing to being in Italy.“

“late night and starving, both me and my mom were in pain. Food was tasty, would recommend it. Cannolini was great, if thats how it's spelled. I had the spinach cheeese ravioli. Soft and not overdone in flavors, very nice.

Waitress was super sweet and cheery even at the late hour. Did great. Answered questons happily.

Not too loud but not silent place, the music was great, and overall seemed like a clean and good place to eat. Would go again.“

“I was very nervous about moving to Washington due to very large difference in food, but Casa Mia restored that. It was my first Italian restaurant inside Washington and I was not disappointed one bit. There's a reason it's an award winning restaurant.

Service was fast and servers were very friendly, amazing pizza and other authentic italian food, very nice mood to the restaurant as well.

10/10 Consider me a regular now“

“Absolutely fantastic food for a good price and our waiter was an incredibly sweet man who did a great job serving our family 💖💖f“

“Really good food and service. And the green martini was my favorite!“

“The food was phenomenal and the service exemplary. Alex was very attentive and a great server. The entire staff was very welcoming. I highly recommend Gardner’s.“

“Steak night on Wednesday is a good value and the steaks are usually tender and well seasoned. The other food items, like salads, vegetables, baked potatoes, and appetizers are usually very good.

The servers are generally attentive and friendly.

I struggle with the atmosphere virtually every time we visit. It's usually quite loud with mainstream sporting events and jukebox music cranked up but not enough to drown-out those who have had too much to drink and whose vocabulary is limited to an unending flood of f-bombs and other profanity.

Meanwhile, the Brick also offers a rewards and loyalty program.“

“Meconi's is such a a unique sandwich chain, even though I feel like I can get my sandwich better made at subway. The hook up is incredible here, they always have an amazing selection, and their bread is some of the best in the region. They also have the best sliced meats, I just always forget to sub pepperoni. I never knew how many deli cuts they had out their. I know Danny devito would rep Jimmy John's, but I bet money he would rep meconi's too. So I just want to say I rep meconi's.

This was the Macklemore of sandwich places when I was growing up, so I hope they continue to reign supreme as a whole tier above most other sandwich chains. But a sandwich is the witch of meals as they always have the magic to fill you up. Unless it's that phony cereal sandwich from breakfast club.

If I had to vote, I'd rank this place as the best. But maybe it's because you can get wine at some of their locations even though I'm only in it for the meats and provolone.“

“Friendly wait staff.. good salad and pizza.. Timely on order taking as well.. Saturday afternoon!“
