    The real Italian cookies.  Usually you just see these at good Italian bakeries.

    Simply continues to be excellent Italian food in the New York style. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with excellent service.

    This restaurant never ceases to amaze me and every time the experience is memorable. This evening ordered the linguine with shrimp and friends at the table had chicken marsala and fettuccine alfredo. Food was hot and so delicious. The staff here is attentive and welcoming with Frank Sinatra playing in the background. Thank you for a delicious meal and look forward to returning soon!

    Happy campers after 2 hour lunch feast.

    Great service by Sam. Enjoyed the bruschetta and arancini balls as appetizers. Spinach wedge and Caesar's salad were also excellent. Calzone and lasagna were top notch. Lots of space between tables. We were able to bring in our own birthday cake, which they served with coffee. Reasonable prices, easy parking. Lots of tasty leftovers.

    This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely delightful food- best pasta I've had in a long time. The bread basket was so good, we ordered one extra. Beautiful and cozy evening. Highly recommended. Only thing that I felt that was the server was rushing us to order- other than that it was the perfect evening.

    Lucia's tasted like an authentic Italian Sunday dinner! I had the pasta e fagioli soup that's not pictured but was so good! The broth had so much flavor and the pasta and veggies were perfectly good. Honestly, I had to stop myself from buying and order to take home. The chicken parmigiana was huge and so delicious! The white pizza was probably the best white I've had in my 23 years of life!!! The service was amazing, very tentative, kind, speedy, and comforting and the restaurant overall made you feel welcomed into an Italian household. By far, a super recommendable place!!

    Italian Wedge Salad. $12.65.

    Stopped in here after hiking at Seneca Regional Park with our dog, Onyx, and honestly we were only…read moresupposed to grab a quick drink. Ended up staying for almost three hours. Started with an espresso martini, a smoked Old Fashioned, and the fritto misto to share. Everything was really good. Then we split the lamb burger and the shrimp risotto for lunch. Both were excellent, although I think the risotto edged out the burger. Our server Mike made the whole experience. Before he even brought us water, he showed up with a bowl for Onyx. Come on, that's an instant five stars in my book. We ended up talking wine with him for a good part of the afternoon. He had us sample a few different pours before we landed on a Nebbiolo we loved. Later, after another conversation about wine, he brought over a taste of a white we'd never even heard of because he thought we'd enjoy trying it. It never felt like an upsell. It just felt like talking with someone who genuinely enjoys wine and likes sharing it with people. Relaxing patio, great food, excellent cocktails, and genuinely memorable service. We'll definitely be back, and Onyx probably will too.

I've also worked through several other pasta dishes and they've all been solid. The pizza is good and the meatballs are especially tasty. Bottom line, you get the quality of a sit down Italian restaurant at more affordable prices. That makes it an easy choice when you want something good without checking your budget first. They even offer bottles of wine around $30 if you want to make it feel a little more like a night out. It's truly a family run place. The husband and wife have been working here for as many years as I've been coming, and that consistency shows. They don't make their own desserts other than the cannolis, which is easy to forgive given everything else they do well. This place is a clear step above most fast casual Italian spots. Try it next time you're craving Italian.

While I did find another really good pie in Andy's Pizza, even that as great as it is did not quite measure up. Only today, did I try the Pomodoro location in Sterling, not really expecting it to measure up (as I had previously heard it was different), but wanted to at least say I tried it before giving up on ever tasting the perfect pie again. I am delighted to report that the extra cheese pie I ordered was *exactly* the way I remember it from the defunct Pomodoro Fairfax location. The perfect sauce, the moderately salty whole milk mozzerella cheese with a a crust that has just the right consistency was all intact - no change from my fine memories. In short, it was a perfect match and a perfect pie! It goes without saying I will be back, but next time I will try the Chicken Parm (another standout from Pomodoro Fairfax). This time I will go in with the high expectations that it will be the same too. In short, this restaurant easily gets my highest recommendation to all. Five stars and then some!

    First off - our server was great! So no complaints there. We are new to the area and are obviously…read moretrying new/non chain restaurants when we can. The restaurant itself is old school Italian with the drippy candles in wine bottles and dated decor. It could definitely use a facelift - and still maintain that classic Italian restaurant vibe. The food was the most disappointing part of the journey. Calamari that was chewy and not at all seasoned - clearly frozen and out of a bag and our meals were no better. I LOVE veal saltimbocca and get it whenever I can. The veal was thick, mozzarella wasn't fresh, and it was drowning in canned mushrooms. Nothing about our meal said fresh. We were leaving the next day for a quick trip so we did not take our leftovers home, but I can honestly say we wouldn't have even if we didn't have a trip planned.

I will start off by saying that I had low expectations given the track record of non-chain Italian restaurants I've tried since living in northern VA of which 85% have been terrible (remember I'm from NJ where Italian food should be the state food). But I said YOLO, crossed my fingers and ordered the marsala via GrubHub. The moral of the story is that I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by Cantina D'Italia overall because the marsala was pretty tasty, spaghetti cooked almost perfectly, garlic bread with cheese perfectly seasoned and cheesy and they sent an added little unexpected bonus of a pretty side salad with a homemade vinaigrette and fresh Italian bread and butter! Oh and the portion was HUGE! Totally got 2-3 meals out of it. Cantina D'Italia has given me hope ... or I should say at least gave me an Italian restaurant I just might frequent and explore all the other menu options :)

That's probably because of all the really good Italian restaurants in all the major cities and Little Italy's up there. They were not crowded on a Thursday evening for our party of 9. I started with a Turino Old Fashioned, which features Whistle Pig Rye and hazelnut liqueur. The hazelnut was very prominent. But Whistle Pig Rye also has a distinct flavor, and I could not taste that at all in my drink, and in general I was expecting a stronger flavor overall. Our dinners all came out relatively close to each other, 7 of them in the first wave, and the remaining 2 within a minute. My Braised Short Rib Lumache featured maybe 1 scoop of the short rib, atop pasta shells in a cheese sauce. The pasta and cheese appeared to be the standout in this dish, when I would have expected it to be the short rib. I don't think the Italian restaurants in the Northeast need to be too concerned. And with them you are more likely to get personal feedback rather than something which is generated as comments and automatically suggests trying the Happy Hour for more satisfaction.

    Like Trios, but even better. Get ready for a bunch of superlatives…read more.. This place has some similarities to Trios in Merrifield. Both Heirloom and Trios are attached to--and share a kitchen with--a Roadhouse Grill, and all of them are owned by the same parent company. However, Heirloom is much smaller, which I suspect makes it easier to control quality. Based on my experiences--one visit here and many visits to Trios over the years--the quality of just about everything is better at Heirloom. My meal consisted of their Smoked Manhattan, the Burrata salad, and the Heirloom Burger. (The burger was so good that they named the restaurant after it!) The Manhattan was one of the best Manhattans I've ever had. It had a wonderfully mellow, balanced flavor that edged toward sweet, despite being made with rye. Maybe it was the aroma--and eventual taste--of the large toasted marshmallow suspended over my glass where the cherry would normally go? I guess, to be sure, I'll have to go back and order another. The Burrata did what all great burratas do: each bite felt like a mouthful of sunshine. The cheese, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette combined to create pure culinary happiness. The only better burrata I can recall was at Mikrolimano in Athens. However, once you factor in travel time and parking, Heirloom is definitely the better value. The Heirloom Burger was absolutely delicious. This past week I've been waxing poetic about burgers because one of the Hackney's restaurants back home is closing after 70 years, so emotionally, I'm not prepared to bestow any new burger honors just yet. However, check back in a few weeks, and you may very well see this review updated to say that the Heirloom Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Other logistics... The service was OUTSTANDING. We were seated right at our reservation time, greeted warmly by several staff members, and waited on nearly hand and foot by Alex. She explained the menu, helped us select our beverages, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. It was attentive service without ever feeling intrusive. Parking is free after 5 and on weekends in a multi-story garage about half a block away. Happy hour is 5-7. They call Heirloom a speakeasy, but it feels more like a small restaurant with an eight-stool bar and a few high-tops. It's intimate compared with the Roadhouse, but not exactly speakeasy-intimate. And, finally, Heirloom is inside Roadhouse. You walk down a hallway, turn left into a very short hallway, open an unmarked door, and then go through a second door marked only by a red rose on the handle. I suspect the obscure entrance is their justification for calling it a speakeasy. But with food and service this good, they can call it whatever they like.
