We celebrated Valentine's Day here and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. My husband--who is extremely particular about his steaks--ordered the Valentine's Day prix fixe menu featuring a filet, and he said it was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. I chose the branzino, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Juan. He was warm, personable, and attentive without ever being intrusive. His thoughtful service made our special night even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing! We tried a few varieties of the homemade pasta and were blown away. The desserts were equally as delicious. Everything is so thought through and brought to perfection. The service was quick and the ambiance was very pleasant and cozy. We will definitely be back! read more

We made a 6:15 reservation on a Thursday evening and were lead directly to a small table for two. The menu isn't huge but I knew that before arriving, As I'm not a big pasta fan, I ordered the Lo-Pro Lamb burger which I read about prior to arriving. The burger was excellent, very tasty & more than filling. The side of order of fries was just as I liked....big & fat. Almost looked like a medium size potato that was quartered...no complaints from me. Our server also gave us excellent service- it was a win-win for us. We'll be back! read more

The exterior and interior design and decorations are so cozy, elevated, and beautiful. The service is also very professional and polite. My one bone to pick about the service is that when we asked if there's bread that comes out, the waitress said she'll bring some out for us, but when we got the bill we were charged $6 for it. So just a disclaimer that the bread is not complimentary! I wish she had been more upfront about it. Other than the service, the food was overall good. The ingredients seem fresh and taste homemade in a good way. The rigatoni pasta was a little too al dente but the sauce was good. Overall, I think it's a nice place to try out for a special occasion! read more

10-star experience for us! First visit. Fiance took his mom & sons here the other night & had a great dinner. I took my mom last night - needed to have her escape the food at Ashby Ponds where she lives. Perfect patio night to be outside. Inside Was too loud for her. Wonderful Aperol Spritz for me. Wester Ross Scottish salmon (new to me & googled it prior to ordering- very impressive). Loved this dish When a Caesar salad is served in a chilled bowl I LOVE that! Excellent salad - no anchovies for us. Mom ate almost all her rigatoni bolognese- ample portion! Too full for dessert yet that blueberry crisp had our name on it. Next time. Attentive and professional service. Truly impressive. Inside was 100% full - always nice to see. Look forward to another visit when I return to visit mom. read more

I took some out of town guests here on our way to IAD. I had researched YELP reviews beforehand for the area. I was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance, seating, menu options, ability to customize orders for food sensitivities, and the great attention to detail by staff. Both the patio and inside dining were clean and not crowded. We were fortunate to hit it off peak hours because it is popular, requiring a reservation for those times. Everything we ordered was delicioys and fresh. A great value for the money spent. read more

Saw a lot of good reviews and wanted to try it out. Overall, food is good, service was fine, but a bit slow . My only remark is for their "famous" risotto, if you've been to Italy, you would call it just a rice with some broth, peas and shrimps... They have a small terrace with nice music which creates a cosy ambiance. Bruschetta, bread&butter, salad pasta and desert was pretty good. Would come back to try more from the menu. In w/e reservation is preferable if you don't want to get on waitlist. read more

Local Provisions reminds me of one of the restaurants that you would find in a hip, small town that caters to vacationers, but instead it's located in a strip mall in Sterling, Virginia. A great meal + Marshalls and Home Depot shopping trip after? Talk about a winning day! My friend and I stopped by for a meal at the bar after running errands in the area and I've been dreaming about all of the delicious food I've had ever since! Their cocktail and mocktail menu was well curated, service was superb, and their new spring menu featuring crab pasta and olive cake with whipped ricotta and strawberries was seriously chef's kiss. It looks like this spot gets busy so I definitely recommend a reservation. I would come back in a heartbeat. read more

Nice ambiance and service and definitely a good pick for a cute Friday dinner/drinks, but food leaves something to be desired. The menu is pretty generic and is nothing special. Decent, but not great. I would definitely not go because you want good food, but again, it is a nice spot for vibes. read more

Great Easter brunch with the family. Great ambiance, food was so fresh and staff were very courteous and friendly!

Amazing food and great location! As a local to the area, I was pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful spot close to where I grew up! I really enjoyed the fresh bread basket with salted butter before moving onto my entree of cheesy pesto linguine and chicken. As a pesto lover, I can attest this was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and wove in the chicken perfectly. Large portions! The Almond cake was very moist and paired perfectly with the cream and berries. The service was fast and the servers did a great job of describing all of the menu items. Excited to bring more friends and family to Local Provisions! read more

Local Provisions definitely gives off strong brunch vibes, so if you're into that, this may be your place. We primarily wanted to try the appetizers here, so we ordered 3. The lasagna soup was yummy! It had a great balance of cheese and flavor. The labneh was good, but had a really strong flavor to it. Hard to eat the labneh by itself without bread (we tried after we finished off the bread), so we had to get a bit more bread. The steak "fries" were essentially an entire potato sliced into 6 pieces. Too big to be called "fries" in my opinion, and too overpriced ($10) for what it is. Overall, great service from the staff! read more

I have only one thing I was upset by and it was that the steak fries are obviously potato wedges and not steak fries. Beyond that, everything met expectations, but did not blow them away. I appreciate everything is local and they're farm to table, that the drinks are reasonably priced, and the service is good - we were asked if we wanted a refill on our bread for the labneh. We were seated outside along with basically everyone else at the restaurant since it was a nice day. Parking is plentiful so don't fret. I'm still upset at the potatoes though, they literally cut a potato into 6 pieces, fried them and called them steak fries. Those are potato wedges -_- if I wanted wedges then I wouldn't have gotten them read more

It's a cute restaurant and started filling up pretty quickly for dinner after we got seated! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Local bread with butter - bread was cold and could be better but the butter was tasty 3/5 beef lasagna soup - it's really a cute lasagna in a small size. I liked it but nothing too unique 3/5 Rigatoni bolognese - not too memorable but decent. I think I remember the pasta being a bit hard 3/5 Blue crab spaghetti - very yummy! Unique sauce and so many crab chunks! Sweet and creamy and pasta was cooked well 4/5 read more

What you see isn't always what you get. I've been looking forward to trying this place ever since I saw Local Provisions featured on the PBS show Signature Dish. I finally got a chance yesterday. I ordered their Lo-Pro burger, which was featured on the TV show as their specialty. As suggested by our waiter and on the TV show, I made a point to order it cooked medium. The burger I received was horribly overcooked and dried out. It had a dark center and was well past being well done. Beyond that, the overall presentation was nothing like what I would expect for a $20 burger, let alone one featured on a TV show. I probably should have sent it back, but I didn't want to inconvenience the five guests who were with me. I don't know if it was my bad luck or if this place slipped a bit after receiving this notoriety from PBS. read more

Came to celebrate my husbands birthday, Great food, drinks and our server Juan was amazing! Highly recommended.

Swanky farm to table diner with a hometown feel. The service was great and the food was exceptional. Yelp reviews led us to the crab fetticini and Scottish Salmon and both were delicious down to the last bite! The portion size is plenty and the price is fair. Its the perfect spot for a date night or brunch with the girls. read more

Never had a bad meal/dish here. Food is always fresh and delicious. I've dined in and taken out (see video) and both were great. The service is good - can get busy, but I've never had a problem. The interior / ambiance is nice; typically restaurant feel. I crave all their appetizers and pastas- and hot take, but I love the sardines in the Caesar salad. :) read more

Finally had the opportunity to have dinner at Local Provisions. The reviews have been great, so expectations were high. We were not disappointed. The Fritto misto was very tasty as a starter. Our entrees were the Gemelli a la Vodka (with added crab) and the grilled Branzino. Both were delicious and well prepared. Our only slight disappointment was dessert. They only offer two gelato flavors nightly. On the night we went neither flavor was vanilla, so our first dessert choice of espresso affogato was less appealing. Our server recommended the apple crisp, but we opted for the chocolate deux. It was fine, but nothing "incredible". We will be back again soon. The vibe was casual and relaxed. Reservations definitely recommended on the weekend. It was busy and full. read more

This place can get a million stars if I could give them. We sat outside and it was very quiet. The outside is much quieter than inside and we really enjoyed eating our meal there. The food was amazing. Had the homemade pasta and it was very well done. My pasta was a fettuccine with corn, bacon, and blue crab. First, the fettuccine sauce was a proper fettuccine sauce and not overly creamy. Blue crab is a no brainer being in this area and more places should have it in their dishes because it's amazing and makes my Maryland heart very happy. Second, the pasta was very well executed. Thin, melt in your mouth, beautiful. Last, the overall taste was well thought out and delicious. Our waiter was amazing. Cared about our dietary restrictions, made us laugh, personable, and attentive. He was a top notch waiter and extremely good at his job. Loved having someone that joked around and cared about the place he was working at, says a lot. Would come back over and over. Highly recommend if you love good food, good atmosphere, and great service. read more

I had lunch at Local Provisions for the first time yesterday. What a hidden gem! Not only was the food delicious, but the service was exceptional. Gabby was charming, intuitive and knowledgeable of the menu. What a delight to see that customer service is still alive. I will most definitely return and will make sure I tell all of my friends. Keep up the good work! read more

I was intrigued by this place because of its farm-to-table concept. They delivered. Ambiance - I loved how bright and airy it felt when you first walked in. It's intimate, but doesn't feel crowded. There is outdoor seating as well. Food - The food was good, not great. However, the truffle steak fries were simply outstanding. The sourdough bread was also delicious. Service - Customer service was good and friendly. Our glasses stayed full. This is an overall nice spot. I needed a little more flavor to rave about this place, but I would still recommend you give it a try. read more

We stopped in here for a quick lunch and we loved the relaxed, homey feel of this restaurant. They make their bread fresh daily and we can tell, and they had a lot of great options on the menu. You are able to add various proteins to your dish, so I opted for a pasta dish with chicken on it and it was cooked perfectly. Their drinks were also made well and the service was very helpful. This is located in the Dulles Town center so parking wasn't a problem at all which is always nice. This was a great spot! read more

Make reservations! This is a popular place for several reasons. Service was super and the food was fantastic!

The staff here are wonderful--very friendly and attentive--but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. I decided to try this spot because of its popularity, but the hype is a bit baffling to me. I ordered four of their most popular dishes, and every single one lacked flavor. Great service, but the food is just too bland for me. read more

Favorite spot in all of loudoun county for brunch and dinner!! Farm to table ingredients, homemade pasta and bread, and a rotating selection of desserts make this place stand out. There's almost always an older crowd here, but that's likely because of its location in the burbs. Can't get enough of their cinnamon roll, which is always on the brunch menu. read more

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5 EXPERIENCE: 4/5 We have been to Local Provisions a couple times now - once was when they had their summer menu. All of the food we've had has been excellent and the service is wonderful. I especially enjoy their mocktails, like the blackberry ginger fizz. The skirt steak dish needs a little fine tuning as the mushrooms and squash were too smoky. The summer shrimp risotto dish had slightly rubbery shrimp. The Caesar salad ($12) was steep in price but the portion was good for an "app" - my problem is that it was a bit too heavily dressed for my liking. I finally got the most talked about dish - the lasagna soup. And it definitely lived up to the hype! A rich dish that tasted wonderful on a cold winter day. By far the best thing I've had here. Give this restaurant a chance! I expect they're still working out the kinks. NOTES: A big reason why they are not getting 5 stars is that they do not offer any desserts without gelato. I am lactose intolerant and it's disappointing that I can't have any of their desserts. They did have an olive oil cake on there the very first time we went (very good!!), but it disappeared. The cobbler is on there now, but we tried it, and it was clearly a dessert that was meant to be with gelato. It's not one of the dishes where it was still good without it--it was just okay. Another reason is that they are a little too expensive for what you get. This was particularly true when I got the "chicken cooked under a brick" for $23 and it wasn't a large dish at all. I think they need to adjust their pricing, as it seems this place is more casual than upscale. read more

Great food and great service. Menu is small but everything is delicious. Restaurant felt a little dark. Fritto Misto is high quality calamari lightly breaded and fried - delicious. Truffle Parmigiana Fries were a bit too cheesy for my liking but still tasted great. I had the Gemelli Ala Vodka with chicken for my entree. It was actually somewhat spicy, which I felt hindered my enjoyment of the dish. The description did say that it was made with Sicilian peppers but I didn't think it would be to that extent. My mother ordered the blue crab spaghetti and that one was VERY spicy. Not sure if that's how it's intended to be or not but she had to pause several times to just let the spice cool down. For dessert I had a chocolate deux, which is dark chocolate soft serve gelato covered in chocolate cookie crumbs. They serve soft serve gelato but honestly I didn't grasp what made this gelato over normal soft serve. It was delicious either way. Would probably come back here for some sort of celebratory dinner, but not otherwise. read more

I placed a to go order. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara w/chicken & simple salad and my wife the mushroom risotto w/shrimp & simple salad. None of it was good. The spaghetti carbonara was dry and sticky and too little sauce. The chicken was dried and overcooked. My wife's mushroom risotto didn't taste throughly cooked, it was hard on the backend if that makes sense. Like the interior was hard. The shrimp didn't taste like it had any seasoning and the mushroom were soggy. The salads were lackluster, with a tangy dressing that was sour, equivalent to biting into a lemon sour. Unfortunate because we ate here earlier this year and I remember the food being on the complete opposite end of this. Disappointed, I am. read more

Really great place to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather before the winter comes. The food selections are limited but all breads and pastas are made in house which is a nice touch. Service isn't rushed so you actually get to relax and not feel like you're being forced out. This place is listed as Italian on Yelp but honestly it leans more Greek here than Italian with Labneh, Lamb and Mediterranean flavors shining through on most dishes. They also offer brunch if you make it in time - but we missed it when we visited. We ordered the Lasagna Soup, and Frito Mixto (fried shrimp, calamari, and veggies), the Lamb burger, kids linguine, and the hot honey grilled chicken sandwich. The Lasagna soup was good, but small. The flavors were nice and there appeared to be some type of green (possibly kale) inside. I would have preferred that there were more actually noodles in the 'soup' but they replaced some of that with bread - just would have preferred more noodles. The Frito Mixto was a hit for the entire table and we ended up ordering two. The shrimp are large and fresh and the fried calamari was not chewy at all. The fried vegetables were a nice and welcomed addition. They are served with a labneh yogurt dipping sauce, but we preferred to munch on the basket without the added sauce. The lamb burger was surprisingly delicious and a recommendation from our server, Mabeline (sp?). Even if you don't like lamb you should try this burger - it will change your mind. It didn't have any gamey flavors at all - so if you're in the mood to try a new burger, definitely give it a shot. The hot honey grilled chicken sandwich was good, but not overly flavorful. The bread also was a bit soggy due to the pickle. The homemade sweet potato and regular potato chips were to die for. Every single one was perfectly crispy, perfectly seasoned and not oily at all. Honestly I'd put these on the appetizer menu as a quick snack - they're that good and can shine on their own. The kids linguine was definitely a miss and not very flavorful at all, even with extra butter, salt, and cheese. It clumped together and just wasn't enjoyable - we basically tossed that dish. Most everything was delicious and the ambiance was great so we will definitely be back. read more

Thank you Local Provisions! I decided to have a birthday lunch here with my friends and it was a great decision. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. My friends bought an outside cake and they so kindly stored and served it to us at the end of our meal. Anyways, I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and it was just what I was craving! It is a comforting and rich pasta dish. The meat sauce was robust and hearty that clings to the rigatoni. It's admirable how long it is simmered for which creates deep and savory flavors. I also loved the addition of the ricotta as it creates a smooth consistency. My friends also let me try their dishes as well and everything just tasted so good. So glad I got to try this place out! read more

Love, love, love this place! Came in here for lunch with BF and two older ladies, who had not seen each other in a while. They had music on. The two older members of our party were hard of hearing, so we asked if they could turn the music down. And lo and behold, they did! Our server even came back and asked if the level was OK for us. That was outstanding! I had a lamb burger, which was to die for. It was very very good. One member of the party had the chicken sandwich and said it was the best chicken sandwich she's had in her life. She's in her late 80s, so I take that as a high compliment. Another person had the pasta. We all split a fruit cobbler for dessert. That was also an amazing dish. I do intend to come back here in the future. The food was wonderful. Service was wonderful and it was just one of the best dining experiences. I've had an hour long time. We also had an appetizer that was fried calamari, zucchini, and shrimp. It was very very good also. read more
