    Fettuccine Alfredo with salmon
    Peyton C.

    The service was sooo slow. We almost got up and left because it took around 15-20 minutes for someone to come to the table and take drink orders. It was also a hassle trying to flag someone down to get a refill. Likewise, the food took a very long time to come out. It would have been nice to have complimentary bread or something, considering the long wait. The Alfredo sauce tasted like creamy pasta water with a hint of parsley. Pretty disappointing for a menu that leans Italian and mentions homemade pasta. The noodles did taste like they may have been homemade. Nonetheless, the sauce needs a redo. The salmon was cooked very well, but again the taste left something to be desired. It just had a faint herb and olive oil taste. This would have been fine if the Alfredo was flavored correctly. Since it wasn't, the dish was overall too bland. The pasta dish itself was actually pretty light. The photo looks like more than it really is, so adding some kind of protein is a good idea. My counterpart enjoyed the cheesesteak. The fries were also good. The restaurant is in a nice location and has ample outdoor seating to hear the live music. If they tweak the recipes a little and improve their service, I think it has potential.

    We met afterwards inside for snacks. And the customer service was just as great. Thank you all

    What a wonderful place to hold an event!!!! Honestly it could not have gone better. Everybody that works there was giving more than 100%. Thank you for helping us plan and execute a really fun night.

    Great place to go for good food and drinks. Went to Monza for a birthday celebration and had a great time. Peter was our server and he's the absolute best. Service was great. Outside seating was nice since it was a nice evening.

    I did a Cobb salad simply because it was the end of a travel day. Salad didn't disappoint. Staff was patient and the restaurant was clean. Nothing spectacular and nothing disappointing. It was an average visit that could be a restaurant choice when in a bind.

    Carbonara (front) and lasagna (back)

    The location is great in the center of Old Town Manassas, and the inside has a comfy ambience. We asked the server if we could sample before ordering a bottle of wine (only if they had an open bottle) since many wines didn't look familiar and the server had no knowledge of wines. She brought a glass of a house red... which later she corrected as the other house red. If there is a decent range of wine list, maybe the server should know a little more. Food was decent. We had arancini (fried risotto balls) as an appetizer, which were nothing special. Pasta dishes were not bad but not great, either. We wanted to try a new place and did. A lot of younger friends came in when we were leaving. Might try the sister restaurant next door next time though it's more upscale.

    Charcuterie & Cheese Platter Alexander was a very polite and friendly person. We would be back because of him

    Everything was nice and quiet. Great service by Alexander the salad and cheese platter was really good

No, this was a full-blown culinary Six Flags experience that left me both speechless and deeply emotional. First Stop: Southwest Egg Rolls These bad boys arrived at my table looking like they just got back from a food modeling gig--crispy, golden, and filled with a spicy, cheesy, Tex-Mex magic that made my taste buds sing mariachi music. One bite in, and I could practically hear the tortilla whisper, "Welcome to Flavor Town, amigo." The creamy dipping sauce? Absolute sorcery. If I could legally marry a condiment, this one would be a strong contender. The Main Event: Manny's Meatloaf Manny--whoever you are--I just want to say thank you. Thank you for crafting a meatloaf that has single-handedly redefined my understanding of comfort food. This wasn't your grandma's meatloaf, folks. This was a rich, juicy, perfectly seasoned masterpiece, glazed in what I can only assume is liquid happiness. Each forkful melted in my mouth like butter in the sun, making me question every other meatloaf I've encountered in my life. Do I now have beef with every other meatloaf? Yes. Yes, I do. The Beverage That Tied It All Together: The Freshest Beer Ever Now, I don't know if they have a magical beer wizard in the back, but this was the freshest, crispest, most life-affirming beer I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. Each sip was like being softly kissed by an angel who also happens to be a craft brewer. Ice-cold, smooth, and so refreshing I briefly considered writing a love letter to the brewery. Final Verdict If you are hungry, thirsty, or just looking for an existentially transformative dining experience, get yourself to this restaurant immediately. The food is sensational, the drinks are divine, and I am now a better person for having eaten here. 10/10, would trade my left shoe for another bite of that meatloaf.

The crawfish was tender and my brother thought the grits were thick enough to be perfect. I would recommend this to anyone in the area! Wasn't cafe du monde beignets, more like donuts. Same with the frosted banana bread pudding dessert- not authentic but good and sweet. Very limited parking; however there is a parking lot two blocks away. Also, steer clear of first Fridays (per the waitress) it gets really crowded and they shut down the street.

The atmosphere is a chic whiskey/cigar bar esthetic (not actually for cigars)... warm tones of yellow and leather with brown leather throughout! The food is absolutely immaculate in presentation and taste... every ingredient is perfectly combined with intentionality and nuance. The fries are crisp... the sourdough bread freshly baked and cut to the perfect width. The coleslaw might be the best coleslaw I've ever had... not too much mayo or overly sweet... perfect crunch. The Birria grilled cheese is intensely rich and the pickled red onions are essential... I wish there was far more on the plate. It's the essential acidity that will break up the richness. Take a few with each bite. The fish is fried to absolute perfection... light and crisp and the batter was not too heavy... absolutely golden in color and light and crisp on every bite. You'll need to spritz the lemon for the acidity. My wife loved the fried pickles (frickles?!)... and we will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu!
