What a perfect dinner! You have created an amazing restaurant!The atmosphere, service and food are A+. We felt as if we were out of town on vacation. Mussels, Veal Saltimbocca, and Rigatoni ala Norma were our choices. Why didn't we know about you?? We are an Italian from New York and an Italian from Chicago, always searching for great Italian food. Our search is over! Kudos to Kevin as well! We will see you next weekend!Caio :)

Absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is lovely, very European. The service was extraordinary and made it for a wonderful lunch experience. The zupa di pesce is a real treat. We will be back!

This was our go to spot for Italian food but past two meal experience was just so so.We usually order pasta but tonight we tried the pizza and it was not good and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.Tonight we were sat in the room behind the bar and it was freezing and we didn’t realize the heater was off until the end of the meal. The waiter noticed a female customer sitting behind us that looked cold and offered to turn on the heat. Meanwhile my entire family sat there with our jackets on for our entire meal and my kid complained about it being cold. The waiter was nice and maybe he was just too busy and he didn’t realize how cold it was. I’m not sure but it wasn’t very comfortable.Another thing we noticed was our bill had a charge I have never seen before in a restaurant. We also ordered a Cesar salad and we were charged $2 for splitting the salad. This seemed a bit ridiculous since we didn’t get extra salad and we were never informed when we ordered the salad and ask for two plates that we’d be charge for plating it on separate plates.I’m not sure if we’ll be back since we’ve noticed a continuous decline overall.

Amazing staff. Well run restaurant. Kind of pricey for what you get but decent across the board. The margarita pizza was a hit as were the pastas but the swordfish was a missParking: The parking lot is the pits! Too small and crowded.

I have never been there before but I have heard some things about it so I decided to try it out. From the minute I walked into the building I enjoyed it. Everybody was so friendly and had a smile in their face. They all greeted us as if we have been there before. Eze was our waiter and he was quick to introduce himself. Since it was our first time we were not familiar with the menu so he offered to explain it to us. He knew what he was selling. We ended up ordering an appetizer because we thought the food was going to take long considering it was busy. It did not!! The food came out quick, hot, and delicious. I do not really have anything negative to say about it. I am looking forward to coming back!

Could be better. Don't mind spending the money but some things need to be better on principle.We were celebrating 2 birthdays with a party of 10 on a Tuesday night and it felt under staffed. While serving a party of this size can be challenging, our server did a decent job but did make a mistake on some orders and charged us for 2 tiramisu cakes for the birthday guests even though when we called to make our reservation, it was noted to be free/included.Whether it was the pasta and meat balls, bolognese, veal, seafood dishes, etc. food tastes lacked any punch, seasoning, or depth in flavor. Table bread was good!Our bill was $400+, I don't mind the 20% service charge as that is standard practice for large parties, what I do mind is the 3% credit card surcharge line item which I believe should be baked that into their costs. It's not the amount of the dollar amount of CC charge, but the fact it was there in the first place. Bake the CC costs in to the food costs as restaurants have done for decades and if there is discount for cash, then offer that.
We had a horrible experience for date night. The host had a frown on his face, and they seated us in a dark area, with a very strange ambiance. We said we wanted to move, and they put us at a tight, bright, cold table. There was no cocktail menu, so when we asked for a fruity martini, it tasted extremely strong. Then we had to ask for bread. I ordered the ravioli with butternut squash. There were a total of 6 raviolis, for $20! Is this a joke? That’s an appetizer, not a meal. So I basically filled up on salad and bread. I didn’t like the vibe when we got there, and told my husband we should try somewhere else, but he wanted to stick it out. Then he regretted it when he ordered the fish, and asked to SUBSTITUTE his potato for pasta. They charged for the pasta without saying it would be extra. And, they served fake cannoli, with fake filling. We won’t be returning. This was a very weird experience, and this place really needs some help.

After coming back from Italy the forth time, I wanted good Italian close by. All I got to say is if you’re craving good Italian food this is not the place. The service was okay and the place itself is cute. The pasta sauce is bland and watery, the lasagna was bland as well. Go to Bonaroti in Vienna for an authentic Italian food experience.

Went for happy hour, stayed for dinner! Fantastic happy hour - one of the best in Ashburn. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, excellent service. For happy hour, we ordered the Antipasto - massive portion, enough for 4. For dinner, we ordered the flatbread on the "Specials" menu - pesto, mushroom, red onion, smoked mozzarella & Calabrian salami - spicy!! Thanks to Pazzo Pomodoro for a great evening. We'll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful night celebrating a friends birthday at Pazzo pomodoro. Our waiter ezekiel made the evening so memorable and fun. He was impeccable with service and friendly. The entire staff- from bartender to bus boys - had smiles on their faces. The food was outstanding! Apps, wine, entrees, desserts and hot cappuccinos. We will be back!
