Been here three times now. Twice has been for Father's Day and then most recently, Mother's Day. We chose it bc it has nice outdoor seating and we always bring dogs- so our choices are limited. They've improved their patio seating with comfortable cushions and large sunbrellas. The food has always been pretty good. The Bianca pizza was out of this world amazing the year prior but that seemed to have changed. It doesn't taste as good as it did before. Service is amazing- I can see they don't cut corners here. They even accommodated by making fettuccini Alfredo, which wasn't on the menu. I liked their salad but I'm going to stick to pasta- seems like that's their specialty and I love how homemade it tastes.

I chose this restaurant because it had bucatini Cacio e Pepe pasta. It's a pasta dish with pecorino sheep cheese and black pepper. A specialty from Rome. Hard dish to get right. It was good. The bread was excellent and it was served with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. A nice touch. Huge portion for lunch! Took half of it home. Deserted for lunch and service was fast and efficient.

Love this italian place, perfect go to for some hearty food. The seafood was on point with the tomato sauce. Food took a little long to come out, it looked like they were a little understaffed? The lamb chop was so delicious and very tender. I enjoyed both dishes with lots of leftover. I definitely will be back!

This review is based on a private party experience. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. The experience started on Friday when we went to the restaurant to finalize details and look at set up etc....It was a wedding celebrations. The manager Wafa was so accommodating and nice and helpful and did anything she could do to make things happen. We arrived at the restaurant - all of us at once....about 50 ish people. The staff was wonderful and on top of things. Everyone had water. It was an open bar for wine which was flowing. We had a buffet style with bread, salad and 3 or 4 different entrees. Rigatoni alla Norma, spaghetti con polpette, a dish with salmon and another pasta option. I, of course, tried all of them and they were excellent. We had tiramisu for dessert and that was also delicious. I have pictures but can't find them on my phone but as soon as I do I will post what I have. And the icing on the cake....I bought a gift card in the amount of $127.24. Why? Thats the date of the wedding celebration. I told Wafa the amount and why. Not only did she do that amount but she literally found the gift card with the number 0127. Are you kidding me? How completely thoughtful!!!! Above and beyond. I would love to go back and just experience a regular dining experience but I would highly recommend for a private party!!! Everything ran so smooth and they were so accommodating. Highly recommend!!

We came here kind of late on a Friday night hoping to get a table after visiting the Monet experience in DC. They had ample room for us on a rainy night around 9pm. We're so lucky to have come across this place in falls church. It has been on my list of places to try for a while but haven't had the chance to try it until tonight. The service was great and everyone was so friendly. The perfect amount of attention from our server. We were a party of four and we loved everything! We didn't feel rushed at all. I got the bucatini cacio el pepe, hubby for the fruto Del Mar, our friends got the tortellini and cavatalli salsiccia. We also started with the arugula salad and grilled octopus. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the appetizers were enough to share. We all had leftovers because the portions were plentiful . I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

One of my favorite place for Italian when pizza will not do. We've been there often over many years. The pasta dishes are consistently first rate. The wine list is as-good-as-it gets if you are serious about Italian wines, which I think are the best. The service is always attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance occupies an easy space between casual and upscale. Neat and attractive but not fussy. There is covered parking with direct entrance to the restaurant off of Oak St.

The pizza was served on a tray, like dominos. The crust tasted frozen, like a flatbread and not an authentic Italian pizza. The artichoke topping was from a can (verified by the restaurant) and tasted completely off. So gross. I told the server who then recommended the salmon pasta. The sauce was very tasty but the rigatoni's texture was like it had boiling all day - disintegrating, and breaking when poked with a fork (see pictures). Like a cafeteria, not al dente. I'm really sad because this place used to be fantastic. What a let down. Will never come back.

Went there for lunch. Good paninis and salad. It was quiet there during a weekday, we miss the bottled wine and the shop they had before.
