Great pasta selections with a wide variety to choose from. Other than pastas they also have pasta sauce and other cooking gadgets, it was fun to check them out.

I found pappardelle at Dal Grano's once and that says all you need to know. Papardelle are wide,…read moresoft, flat pasta noodles that I first had in Rome decades ago. Growing up Italian stateside, I never knew about this light, wavy pasta dish. So pappardelle pasta is like some rare delicacy and I love it. This pasta dish is not easy to find unless it has been popularized in the Italian dining scene, recently. How can I explain this pasta? Papardelle are not thick like butter noodles, but instead they are thin yet wide. And at Dal Grano's, they must be experienced to be savoured. Do call ahead, because they might just have them made. Dal Grano's is a neighborhood place. We love how when you are dining, they actually talk to you and are friendly. There are a few other places around Mclean proper which I wish were more overtly warm and hospitable, in this way. All of Dal Grano's pasta is homemade and delicious. It's definitely great for carryout pasta or a diner-style environment with a homemade pasta lunch or dinner. I don't think they deliver or work with any of the delivery services. You just call and pickup. The butternut squash ravioli is tender and flavorful. We have probably have gotten different versions of their ravioli every time. Outside of the papardelle, I'm all in for their rich squid ink pasta when it's made. I don't go there enough to know if it's always available. They have over 50 homemade pasta combinations to choose from and a big freezer case of food to take home. My biggest issue with Dal Grano's is when I see all of the pastas in the serving bowls presented to order and cook, I want to buy them all at once. I know it sounds tacky, but they make me yearn for a pasta buffet there just so that I can taste all of the variations. Alas, if we were in town more we'd just need to go more often to taste all of their selection. There's only one other restaurant that does Italian this well and it's around 15 minutes away in Falls Church. But even that fabulous Italian restaurant does not compare with the amount and selection of homemade pastas at Dal Grano's.

Having said that, this is not the best I've had, or even the best I've had in WV, but it's a lot better than most. Likely 90%, because I've tried about 20 different spots now, so I think I have the general idea of what's good and what's not. I follow Bar Stool and his reviews and agree with the style pie he likes. This is not that. Wildly he actually reviewed it the place, unfortunately he picked the wrong size to review in my opinion - "The Jumbo". Thus his review was avarage because amongst other things "Huge" usually = floppy. Instead I highly recommend getting a couple of smalls and ask for them "Well Done". If you do I think you won't be disappointed! If I get that and review it in the general way he does I would say it's a solid 7.5. Because of this, and its proximity it's become my regular go to. RECOMMEND Note - the staff are extremely pleasant, very nice and welcoming.

Their gluten free pizza is not safe!…read more If you have Celiac Disease, don't eat here!! While I can appreciate the fact that they offer GF pizza, have a separate staging area and change their gloves, they do not use separate toppings! So after they stick their hands in the toppings and spread them out on very gluteny pizzas, they put their hands back in that dish for more and use the same toppings for the supposedly "GF" pizzas. If you have the first floor clue about gluten free, you know that's not acceptable. So because they don't ... I advise skipping this place and go to Blaze. They will pull ALL new toppings for you, no problem!

The special I ordered (pictured) was easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time, and honestly every single thing we ordered was delicious. This meal went above and beyond perfection. We got there a little before noon and already had 3 cars ahead of us waiting for them to open -- the second those doors opened, people were lining up fast. They had plenty of tables and service was so quick. Once we were seated, things moved quickly: menus right away, water and drinks out fast, and service that stayed genuinely attentive the whole time. I didn't even get close to finishing my drink before they were already checking if I wanted a refill. All of our meals came with soup and salad, and the pasta fagioli was amazing -- I'm not usually a fan of celery in it, but it was still so flavorful. They also have an impressive dessert menu, but we were way too stuffed to even think about it. Next time we're definitely leaving room for dessert! Highly recommend -- go early, it's worth the wait!
