“I meet with friends this great spot often! This is my favorite restaurant to pass a nice evening. I go there at least once a month. The meals are excellent, the staff is professional and the charge is fair. I enjoy meeting in this restaurant to have a rich meal.“
“I had a great experience at Mia’s. I tried the rigatoni alfungi per our servers recommendation and it was great! The atmosphere was lively. Our server Angel was very attentive and friendly. He provided a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back!“
“They were amazing with my milk allergy and super friendly. We never had to ask for a refill or anything; someone was there quickly to help us with whatever before we had to ask. We visited from 9.5 hours away, but will be recommending to everyone we know that’s coming this way for vacation! It was a nice little hidden gem!“
“This is our go-to pizza place! We always get carry out, as they only have outdoor seating, but the food is always fresh, the staff always polite and the pizza is always delicious. Pricewise, it's on-par with other local pizzerias, but the quality is so much better. PLUS, I have heard their sandwiches are also delicious.“
“Such a nice ambiance. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. There was so many pastas to choose from there's definitely something for everybody. I kinda got decision paralysis from the options but I got the squid ink pasta (spaghetti Neri) and loved it. I think it tasted the best out of our group's dishes and was complex and delicious although the tagliolini Al funghi was a close second. My partner got the short rib ravioli and we both didn't really like it. It was quite salty in some bites and lacked savory-ness in others. We didn't get to try appetizers or try the cheese wheel as we went on a Tuesday but will definitely come back to try those ! Overall we had a great time. Also for parking there's free parking in the garage and this place is located in the hotel.“
“We had just arrived in Alexandria and we were looking for a place to eat and we stumbled across this Italian restaurant. They kindly seated us under the gorgeous lighting which creates a romantic atmosphere. I ordered the rigatoni which was phenomenal and quite literally melted in my mouth. The drinks were also very good. They gave us complementary mini soups, bread and a surprise dessert simply out of kindness which made my day. Thank you!!!“
“We had dinner here at this restaurant on a Sunday a while back, and we loved the quality and taste of the food. It was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the desserts we ordered. The Tiramisu was melt-in-your-mouth! The service was attentive, and the classic ambiance was enjoyable, although some updating would further enhance the overall dining experience.“
“We were visiting from out of town and what a great choice to go to Primo Hogies!! The whole staff was incredible!! Food was great! If anyone is on the fence about what they want to eat, this is the place to go! Thank you guys!! Looking forward to coming back!!“

“Amazing food and even better drinks!Joanne is the best bartender I've ever had and makes their drink menu herself. She will make you feel like you're her main priority and a friend. It's our favorite local spot for date nights.“
“We wanted to celebrate the seniors that lived in our community. We called and got the owner, John. We advised him we were bringing our seniors from our town in and he made our reservation. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, the manager Antoinette was so accommodating, the server was very patient with our seniors and the service was great. We all had a great time and the food was amazing. I think we had a little bit of everything on the menu. Thank you so much from The Town of Morningside!“
“I seldom visit fine dining as I don't often see the value but this place is excellent. Marcos is the gold standard when it comes to service and not to mention the excellent food. Highly recommend for a pleasant dining experience with family.“
“Just a great restaurant! 100% recommend. Love their gyro meat, all their sandwiches are delicious, pastas are amazing. Pizza is probably my least favorite thing on the menu but for those who like thin crust pizza, highly recommend blanca pizza.My favorites: Greek salad, side spinach or a spinach appetizer (same thing), salmon kale salad, chicken limoni, Tuscan chicken, trio dip appetizer (omg - their feta spread is amazing), gyro platter, grape leaves appetizer.This place is worth trying. Finance and you will be back!“
“I ordered a special dish that was not in the menu and I was surprised to experience a restaurant that will cater to what I want to eat. The squid alla marinara pasta sautéed perfectly blended with the right spices and herbs. I tasted basil and it was minty and really satisfied my appetite. Thank you for the extra freshly made bread, salad with the special house sauce + the tiramisu for the dessert. This is my second time to visit this restaurant and I will surely come back the next time we are in the neighborhood. Grazie!!!“

“Was on a trip to the area in April and had dinner at the Shirlington location. I am still telling people about the best eggplant parmesan I have ever had! Everything was excellent! Definitely would recommend to people going that way. I only wish I had picked up something from their shop to bring home with me for another time.“
“I honestly don't know where to start. Simply put, Bond 45 is nothing short of amazing! All of the food was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to dessert, there was not one entree that was less than perfect! We had and highly recommend the following dishes: Meatballs- the mix of proteins made these a delicious choice! Garlic Bread...needs no introduction! Caprese Salad...the fresh mozzarella was so fresh and creamy! Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken - was my daughter's fan favorite and the pasta tasted homemade! Filet with roasted potatoes...all seasoned well and cooked to perfection! The steak had a good char while being super tender and flavorful! Sangria - is my mother in love's favorite! Cheesecake and Chocolate cake- OMG, don't skip dessert! You will regret it! The restaurant has a friendly, comfortable fine dining atmosphere that perfect for a fancy date night or a casual dinner! The restaurant has spectacular views of the harbor and ferris wheel, which makes it a fun and memorable experience! While the food and the restaurant were nothing short of spectacular, it was the employees of the establishment that truly made our night! My mother in law is a regular and the staff treat her like family! From the hostess and servers to the general manager, Johnny, they all did everything they could to turn a regular night out into something really special! It was my first time at the restaurant, and I was blown away by our experience. Sending a huge thanks to Johnny and the staff of Bond 45 for running such an amazing restaurant. I highly recommend making them a regular stop when you visit the National Harbor!“
“Better grab dinner here soon, as the building is being replaced with a new one and soon (sometime in 2024) there will be no more A La Lucia to visit...only to long for. Food is authentic; nice wine choices; homey and friendly restaurant. I'm very sad to see it go.“
“I had previously reviewed this restaurant on yelp and the review has somehow been removed. Sad, because it was a 5-star review with a photo of the amazing birria torta that I ordered. It was perfectly toasted on the outside with a soft middle like it should be. And the flavor was amazing. That was my first visit. I've been back several times for takeout and dine in and I have never been disappointed. Last weekend, I met a friend for dine-in and was disappointed to see the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night. I want to stand outside waving a big sign to get people to stop in and see what they are missing. This last time, my friend ordered a taco salad -- all the ingredients were so fresh and the taco shell outside was perfectly crispy (muy importante for the salad). She and I both ordered a margarita -- which we both found to be pretty terrific. And the service is pretty outstanding. I hope this doesn't wane as the success of the restaurant increases. The staff is friendly and helpful and obviously engaged in the success of the business. I really do think the location is a deterrent. I've seen more than one restaurant fail in this location in the last few years. The inside is festive and welcoming and is a sharp contrast to the outside which is an easily-missed corner lot with a vape shop. Don't let the outside fool you -- just go! And support the presence of this full service dine-in restaurant in walking distance for Potomac Yard neighbors!“
“Don't judge a book by its cover. My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Fratelli's on Van Dorn in Alexandria Virginia today. From the outside... yea it looks like a locally owned restaurant no special pomp and circumstance. Inside it's clean and nicely appointed. Then you get to the food and honestly this rivals some of Washington so-called best Italian restaurants which I will not name here, but if you're Washingtonian and you've been here a while you know them well and they're not as stellar as they used to be. The Chef owner Manuel greeted us as my husband ordered his second enteee for lunch Veal Parmesan after having a delectable nice size portion of Lasagna. Yes that right his second entree. He's a big eater. I had the chicken Parmesan. All three entrées were amazing pasta cooked to perfection.... the cuts of veal and chicken, amazing, and the sauce out of this world. They even make their own in-house dressing which we purchased a separate bottle of to go. If you're used to Washington's normal fair of Italian restaurants, and you really want something different and amazing, don't hesitate....just go!“
“The lady that took our order was super sweet and she brought out our food super quickly! The food was delicious, but when I tell you the salad dressing is the perfect dip for anything I mean it, it was so good you can dip the fry's, gyro, or anything you would dip in sauce and it would make it taste 1000% better then it already did!! I love this place.“
“Excellent customer service and great tasting food. We come here on a regular basis and have tried many different things and they have all been great. My favorite is the eggplant parmesan- so crispy and flavorful. Many other great vegetarian options as well. My partner loves their carbonara and says it is the best. They also always have specials for food, drink, and dessert that have all been amazing. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options“

“I'm from Brooklyn and hold NY Pizza to high standards. Johnny's is hands-down, the best place to get pizza in Virginia. I tell everyone I know about it.It's not just that the pizza is amazing, has options by the slice, and excellent pizza topping combinations.You can get pizza by the slice, they have many non-pizza options, and you can dine there. My personal favorite nobody in Virginia does as well as they do is the Chicken a la vodka pizza!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian optionsParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kid-friendly location“
“The latest incarnation of this eatery has a spicy scene and the food to follow. Think Caribbean. We were a group of 13 and our food orders and drinks were quickly and competently delivered. Best of all is the wonderful appointments that complete the illusion of Havana -- Lena's Havana Loft.“
“I went with my family to grab some dinner. The food was great, the appetizers were good as well. The servers were professional and the food was prepared and served within a reasonable amount of time. I'd recommend this place if you want an alternative to cooking.“
“This review is exclusively for La Fiamma's Sunday buffet, which is very good. We've been here for the buffet four times now. Though La Fiamma's buffet offering is smaller than most other buffets, its quality is head and shoulders above the rest. The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed. Today, service was outstanding with staffers checking frequently to see if we had everything we needed. The buffet includes an omelet bar, salads, typical breakfast items, entrees and a very decent array of seafood options. The dessert table is great with several different cakes as well as fresh fruit. The one thing I would change would be to have vanilla ice cream at the dessert table, not chocolate ice cream which is what was available today. Chocolate ice cream doesn't really go with carrot or devil's food cake. Speaking of the devil's food cake, it is flawless! Still, this our go-to option for Sunday brunch.“
“We had dinner here last night after a long day seeing the cherry blossoms. Such a charming and quaint atmosphere. The food is amazing!!! The service is fantastic!! I had been here before and was happy to come back. If you are in the area, make sure to make a reservation. My favorite restaurant in Alexandria!“
“We made a reservation for 5 PM but they did not hold/reserve a table for us. The place is small and they did the best they could, but there is really only one large table. It was a disappointing since we were in time and made the reservation far in advance online and even called the restaurant to make sure they had our reservation. The table service and food were good.“
“#SupportLocalBusiness I still consider this restaurant a hidden gem. Our server tonight (Esmeralda) was super gracious, the lamb chops are ALWAYS a winner, and they've added La Marca Prosecco to their menu ... what's there to complain about? Oh yeah, the 1980-ish carpet, artificial flowers, faux stone, etc. are such a buzz kill! I need them to renovate! Guess what? I will STILL return for their lamp chops ... gaudy decor and all.“
“We were so pleased with our meal at Vasos. The food was extremely fresh and delicious. The menu was very interesting and creative. We couldn't leave the review without making special mention of how lovely the service was. Each and every person that served us that day was eager to help, kind and friendly. This was the first time we have visited Vasos, but it won't be the last.“
“Excellent Eritrean breakfast of Egyptian Fava beans with yogurt, chopped onions, toasted buns, tomatoes, and herbs. The taste hit the spot. The café also has cakes and other fresh bakery items for purchase. Service was quick and attentive. Prices are okay. The location is off Duke Street in an office mall. Plenty of parking. I had a blood test at the LabCorp nearby and was famished for breakfast after a long fast. The food hit the spot. Nice pictures of their country on the wall, regular tables and clean restaurant.“
“Very welcoming from hostess to server. Attentive service. A solid local Italian restaurant. My husband loved his shrimp scampi and lasagna and my tortellini in panna was quite good. We would come back for a very enjoyable evening. Prices are very good and ambiance very comfortable.“
“AMAZING PLACE!! We brought a school group of 43 people, mostly students. The owner was so gracious. After we accidentally ordered ahead but from the wrong pizza place, he let us pick up the pizza from the other place and eat at his restaurant. Who does that??? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOULater during our trip we ordered again from Quattro Formaggi… delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“First of all, I did pickup and I live just 15 minutes away. I did -not- make it inside before trying it. It smelled THAT good. Crust? Incredible. Price? Reasonable. TOMATO SAUCE?? Seriously, the best I've had outside of Duccini's in DC. It tastes like it belongs on a big slice, without the commitment of the big slice. 2 Mediums was more than enough for us but they have the large ones if you're looking for it! Also the staff was super nice and personable right off the bat. I'm so glad I got to try this place before I move away. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're at one of the lounges nearby, it would be a great place to stop in. The interior was really cute too, though a little small if it's busy. I neeeeed to try the lasagna everyone else is talking about.“
Ethiopian • $$
“This Ethiopian restaurant has authentic flavors and vibrant spices and is the best Ethiopian food in the area. The injera served with a variety of savory stews creates a delightful blend of textures. The filet mignon "yishint tibs" is a must-try.“

“With honesty, as a wing connoisseur, these wings are the biggest and the best in county. I do not know what marinade and breading they use but… it is God sent. The pizza, no doubt is delectable and the Stromboli dough lights the taste buds on fire. I would recommend to any and all who love good takeout.“
“Our waitress, Marlena, was the best. She was the perfect type of person to assist and wait on customers. Marlena could train others on customer service. She made our visit worth it. Marlena shines bright, like a diamond. Thank you for being so attentive to our needs, with a smile.Kid-friendliness: The children in our group had an enjoyable experience.“
“Update 4 years later: RedRocks is still a great go-to! Fully renovated and better than ever.Great atmosphere and great pizza! Most items are cooked in a brick oven and of the 6 or 7 trips I've made here I've never had a bad dish.“
“What an absolute delicious pizza I ordered! I went to participate in a PTA night for work and picked up Pizza Pie Me for dinner. I ordered the Buffalo & bbq chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Service was great! I called before leaving work and it was ready in 15 minutes!“
“I was in the area looking to try something new. A new place. Then I looked up and there was Maggio's. I walked in and was immediately greeted by this friendly guy that told me I was there during Happy Hour and could go over to the bar! BEST. DECISION. EVER. I met the bartender SUNI who was the absolute sweetest and knowledgeable about the various drinks on their menu. I HIGHLY recommend the Green Tea Drop! It's absolutely amazing ?! The chicken tenders and fries were fresh, ? delicious and tasty. The ambience was really chill and vibey , which I needed after a long work day. I will DEFINITELY be returning here and tell my friends about this really cool local spot.“
“I placed an order online for four 18inch pizzas and two 2 liter drinks. The food was waiting for me at the prearranged time, but you could tell that it hadn't been sitting out all morning long. Fresh and tasty. The chicken bbq bacon pizza was especially good. The gentleman at the counter was nice and efficient at checkout.“
“Favorite pizza place, hands down! And so convenient too (fast, reliable, and affordable). The only reason I said 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have called in a pizza before and was told that they did not receive my order once I got there. Other than that, I love this location and food.“
