"After driving past this little restaurant every day for months and saying we wanted to go, we finally caved in before seeing a play at the theater in Old Town. We took advantage of the $39.95 dinner special for two and it was SO much food. We both got the heaping portions of bruschetta which was delicious, and I got the chicken parm and my boyfriend got the chicken cacciatore. The red sauce was one of the best I've had in awhile. The special also included two glasses of wine and I had a crisp Pinot Grigio and my boyfriend (not a wine drinker) got the Chardonnay and actually loved it. Lastly, it included a shared dessert which I hadn't heard of before but it was whipped cream covered and I'm...

I was at ally indy (the pet store) last night with my puppy and decided to give the place a shot especially since the patio is dog friendly. The food and customer service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place. Especially if you want to get away from the touristy and busy King st. scene for a nice meal.

One of the best if not the best restaurants in Northern Virginia and rivals any authentic Italian restaurant in DC. You get everything here it's not just the food but the real Italian experience I feel as though I'm at my grandparents house with my family. Live music on Friday and Saturdays that's Amore! The best!
