Had a great meal at this new place tonight! Service was stellar! Shrimp could have been seasoned a bit more but were otherwise cooked perfectly. Mediterranean pizza was delish! My kids seemed to enjoy their meatball sub and chicken parm entrees. Bonus – they each came with a free dessert tonight! We all agreed if we lived closer this place would be in our rotation!

Different owners now. The new owners came in 2 months ago. So my earlier reviews are from the original owners. It’s owned by Turkish Family now. Very nice service. So I can’t speak on the Italian food that I had 5 months ago simple fact I’m sure they don’t cook Italian food.
Burger and fries and chicken soup today it was good. I would not call this an Italian restaurant any longer.

Five Star Restaurant All Around!
Food and Service All Excellent!
This is not a fancy restaurant, but what it offers is actually better. This yet-to-be discovered restaurant is a hidden gem in northern Virginia.
Living in Fairfax with several good restaurants nearby, I don’t typically go out to Manassas but now see myself driving out there for this superb Italian restaurant.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the salads (Saturday complimentary), entries (lasagna and salmon), and dessert (cannoli). We both resoundingly recommend the restaurant.

What a find! This restaurant opened eight months ago. We were sorry we did not check this place out earlier!
We opened our meal with an order of mozzarella sticks along with calamari. The mozzarella sticks came with freshly made marinara sauce and ranch dressing. The ranch dressing complemented the mozzarella sticks nicely. The calamari was perfectly cooked. We found the marinara sauce to be delicious.
I ordered the Il Forno burger with provolone, an extra patty, bacon, and an extra side of “secret sauce.” This was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life!
I’d recommend ordering the seasoning that accompanies the fries on the side. Despite sprinkling their fries with an Old Bay-like seasoning, the French fries here rank better than most places. They also appear to be freshly cut in-house.
My friend liked his chicken piccata. He did complain, though, that the olive oil on the noodles made them hard to twirl.
We found this establishment to be spotlessly clean throughout. The owner provided us with flawless service while embracing us with warm hospitality. Lastly, the prices here are ridiculously good for what you get in exchange. Definitely give this place a try!

I’m not sure where to begin. So many positive reviews, but our experience was the opposite. We started off with the Calamari. It was extremely bland. For our main dishes we all got the chicken parmigiana. The chicken was cooked well, but did not taste good. The pasta sauce was watery and tasted bad. Honestly, this is the worst chicken parmigiana I have ever tasted. My wife and son were in agreement. We had high hopes based on so many positive reviews.

A pretty diverse menu, the pasta and calamari was excellent. They don’t have a liquor license yet, so no beer or wine yet but hopefully they will get it soon.

I came here with my wife and Mom for dinner. We really enjoyed it. The food was really good, exceeded expectations, and we’re glad we stumbled upon this new place. We had the calamari which was meaty and crispy, the shrimp carbonara which was good, and the seafood bucatini, which was great, such a flavorful sauce. The tiramisu was also really good. It was different and just felt homemade. Definitely want to come back

My husband and I were in town visiting and thought “Italian” sounds good…found Il Faro and their reviews were great so gave it a try. I go the Spinach Ravioli it was sooo creamy and cheesy and the spinach was blended smooth and not stringy. So yummy. I used the garlic toast and cleaned my plate . My husband ordered the shrimp carbonara. It had plenty of shrimp and was served with a cheesy creamy sauce. The pasta was delicious – please try out this restaurant and keep it open and successful. Local is the way to go!
