    Slavic American Festival

    44th Annual Slavic American Festival is a great festival for the "festival beginners." There is no…read morespoken foreign language because this festival has a limited exposure to the Slavic culture, which is a shame. There were not any nation costumes and dances. One super nice elderly lady dressed "old Europe style" stated that she has compiled her outfit from three countries (Russian vest, Ukrainian shirt and American skirt). That sort of summons it out. There was a polka music in English that older generation liked but its fast tempo added certain frantic pace where people were rushing to get the seats to eat, in one case knocking a plate to my chest for which I did get "sorry" from a person who did it. No ethnic beer was available and that was a big downside. The Haluski and Pirohi were good within the limited food choice, which did not upset anybody because there was a line of 104 people at 12:05 when the single food stand opened for business. The kielbasa sausage was burned on one side and I hope that next time the food folks will incorporate a quality control and serve only good food - not burned food. The deserts were just like the festival title said - american (brownies) and Slavic, but nothing memorable like I had in a few previous Ukrainian festivals (see posts of 2 Ukrainian reviews desserts - for comparison) At the end, I felt like everything was homemade and was made by a good American cook. It all supported their church and they were welcoming and well organized (44th Annual). It was A-OK. From talking with other folks at the festival, it looked like the most folks are a repeat crowd who eats pirohi once a year (at the festival).

    Our sons booked this trip as a gift, at first I was reluctant as we have lived in the area for…read moreyears. Turned out to one of my favorite gifts as the tour opened our eyes to places we have not tried for one reason or another, plus got a little history and learned a couple of things. Terry was our Tour Guide, he was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area, the history and the food. It was a walking tour, Terry kept a pace that everyone could enjoy, did not rush, explained each stop in advance. He also seemed to have a great working relationship with each of the stops staff. We were seated quickly at each spot, and did not have to wait long for our food. Each spot served enough to give you a taste of the menu, and each stop was very good. The Mexican food was amazing, and one dish in particular will bring me back sooner than later. The crazy thing was most of the ingredients are not on my favorite list, but together- Bam !!! That was the cool thing about the tour, took us out of comfort zone, and exposed us to selections we normally would not have tried. Definitely recommend this tour, Terry was the best, and not just because he is a fellow Nats Fan- LOL. My wife who never does group photos did not hesitate when another participant said "Hey, group photo" she jumped right in. Just a nice relaxed way to explore new foods, when visiting for the first time or as a long time resident. Find new go to spots & possibly make new friends.

    Robert was a terrific and very informative guide. The history and foods were all amazing. Highly…read morerecommend!

    There's a Vocelli close to to my office which we regularly order from (my co-workers and I)…read moreBut I hadn't tried this one which is closer to my home. So we gave it a shot last week. And we were all pleasantly surprised how good it was. My oldest has tried buffalo pizza all over town and declared this is the best of the lot. The only thing keeping it from being perfect he said was it had too much crust (which may not be a negative to some) the sauce was good and spicy good ratio of cheese to chicken (which was perfectly cooked and not dry) The cheese pizza was also yummy with plenty of cheese and the sauce was not too sweet. We also got an order of the vocelli rolls which were super delish. Garlic and cheese? Yes, please...and thank you! We will definitely be ordering from her again (and next time I'll remember to snap some pics before we eat)

    Decent food here. The wings and steak and cheese sandwiches hit the spot. I do wish I liked their…read morepizzas more. Taste is subjective, and I find them alright. Just wish there was more, to distinguish them from other places. The new rolls will be tried soon. Sometimes you just have to try something different. Great concept. This location is really clean. I'd like to say thank you to the employees. All are hard working and polite. Delivery or carry out is available. When in the area this works. Definitely use coupons when you can. This is a good spot, and works for a quick meal.
