Reviews
We had the meat and cheese board, arancini, pasta alla vodka, chicken parm and meatballs. Everything was delicious and came out timely and hot. Well seasoned, great marinara sauce and perfect portions. Husband couldn’t resist the caramel chocolate mousse- he scraped the cup so it must have been good.
Friendly staff, everyone looked happy to be there ( hard to find nowadays, and I completely understand- my background is retail and service industry).
If you find yourself in falls church VA. eat here!
5 stars!
We started with cocktails:
*Makers Mark drink = delicious! Orange & lemon flavors were delightful (wish I had ordered)
*Raspberry gin drink = not great – I fishy taste any raspberry & the vermouth was overwhelming BUT I am not a fan of vermouth so that’s on me
*Dirty Martini = my next order after the gun drink didn’t do it – ehhhh just ok not the best & the olives were not up to par for a real dirty drink
Appetizers:
*Mushroom soup = yum! Lacked a bit of seasoning but a pinch of salt & grind of pepper fixed that right up! Also LOVE that they have real black pepper grinders!
*Arancini = surprisingly good! I’m not usually a fan as the rice is typically over cooked into a mushy paste & it never has enough cheese but these were the opposite! While they lacked a bit of seasoning the marinara sauce was a perfect accompaniment!
*Caesar salad = DO NOT ORDER! I hate that I have to share this but this salad might be the WORST I have ever had! Dry & wilted at the same time & zero flavor plus it had a dark appearance to it – didn’t look great & tasted even worse
Pizza: (the reason we came here!)
*Toscana = delicately sliced salty prosciutto with crispy peppery arugula topped off this thin perfectly cooked pizza! A shake of red pepper flakes and sprinkle of extra cheese elevates it!
*Crudo = went with a new style & it paid off! Sautéed onions meets creamy melted cheese with spicy sausages & blistered shishito peppers made this a hit!
Wine:
*Nero d’Alvaro = yum! I wanted a bottle! They didn’t have the Montepulciano I ordered but this was a happy replacement!
Over all this place is a MUST try! Although as I was writing this review I learned that they were closing next week – soul crushing news as I thought I had just found a new slice of heaven place for pizza!
I hope they can stay & that the pizza gods above can find a way. Until then – I bow to return veggie they close (Feb.18).
Family atmosphere nothing fancy. Dated tables & decor. Full bar, plenty of seating & a cute outdoor patio. It was packed at 5:30pm & kept a steady clientele through 7pm. Notice level moderate – easy to hear & talk with people at your table while enjoying the lively atmosphere. Service was a 4 out of 5 – very friendly staff but as they got busier it was harder to attend to refills on wine. Definitely a must eat place!
Overall = 3.5 FORKS (out of 5)
The only thing was the size of the pie was a bit dissatisfying. Definitely check this place out if you’re ever in the area and craving pizza.
Back again years later, still just as good. They remember their regulars. Unbelievable quality food for the price. Can’t beat it, a must try. Great atmosphere, and convenient parking garage as well.
