    Am not a huge fan of their pizzas. Taste is subjective so it could just be me. Yet I definitely like their steak and cheese subs. These are delicious. You get a good value too, and the fries pair well with this. Definitely my recommendation is go with their sandwiches. Very clean restaurant. I like the employees here. All are courteous, and wait times aren't too long if dining in or going the carry out route. Parking here is plentiful also. That is helpful, and if you're in the area and need a quick lunch, they have you covered.

    Ordered a calzone for delivery and it was really good! I created my own and added pineapples, jalapenos, and sausage. I liked the marinara on the side to dip with - wish they included more. The bread was pretty good - slightly crisp and chewy. I liked my calzone, but could do without the ricotta cheese and felt like it could've used more mozzarella. I thought the filling to dough ratio was alright. Overall, tasty calzone and I will most likely order from Paisano's again in the future!

    I'm just here for the pizza, no literally!!! Stopped by here after visiting CAVA to pick up a pizza. I was able to walk right in an order without any issues. About 15-20 minutes later, the gentleman who rang we up walked the pizza over to the table I was at. Easy enough! The gentleman who assisted me was nice and did not rush me while I contemplated what kind of pizza to get which I appreciated. I tend to stick to the BBQ chicken pizza on a pick up order. The flavor is always well balanced so you get that perfect combo of pizza and bbq . The chicken always tastes good too! Nicely flavored and never dry. The inside was clean with plenty of seating if you decide to dine in. I have noticed that all the locations typically have the same set up and the same wall decor. No complaints here, good pizza and good customer service!

    Bacon cheeseburger pizza, burnt and cheese pizza, cold and greasy with paper towel to swab up the goop. YUCK.

    Ordered approx 90 min ago. Food delivery estimated for 25-35 minutes ago. Tracker still listing the order as being prepped. Attempts to call the restaurant futile. Was on hold for 10+ minutes before the call was disconnected. Still have no pizza. Won't be ordering from Paisano's again. Update: food arrived approx an hour late. Food was cold. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger pizza which was ice cold but burnt beyond recognition. We ordered a cheese pizza which was also ice cold and swimming in grease. We are going to drive all this garbage food back over there and request a refund. My dogs wouldn't eat this stuff. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

    First time trying a salad here, it was ok! Not much to said. I rather have their crispy pizza.

    The last time I went to Rafagino I gave it 5 stars, sadly I had to take off one star. Mostly…read morebecause I didn't have the same feelings as I've had with my previous visits. The bread that was served was spicy and orange ( not traditional) - we had just returned 2 days earlier from a European trip and at no time received bread like this at our table. I wish I had been warned about the bread by the server because I can't tolerate spicy foods. It's ok that the menu had changed- my favorite lobster dish was gone. And the wine that we ordered was not available ( it was as explained that a new wine list was being printed- so to taste the wine from DOURA valley again was not going to be possible ). Our meals were good mine was the fried shrimp and my husband's was pasta and sausage - he commented that he would have like a little less sauce and more pasta ( being Italian he likes pasta and I noticed that there was only a bit on the plate) I had told the server that we were celebrating our anniversary- after dinner she came out with a tray of desserts and said we would like you to have a dessert to celebrate your anniversary. So we picked on to share and asked for a cup of coffee. We mentioned that was a nice gesture for the restaurant. We discovered later that it was not a gesture at all. The dessert was added to our bill. All and all it was a nice evening out. We will go again in about a year or two to look at their new menu and wine list. I am hoping for an improvement. If not. I will need to find another favorite restaurant.

    Intimate | portions | community…read more Intimate Rafagino offers a warm, intimate dining atmosphere that feels more like a neighborhood gathering place than a chain-style restaurant. The smaller setting and attentive service create a relaxed, personal experience that works especially well for date nights or quiet meals with friends. Portions Portions are generous and satisfying. Pasta dishes and entrees arrive hearty and filling, often with enough for leftovers. It's comfort-style Italian that doesn't hold back on quantity. Community There's a strong community feel here -- from the welcoming tone of the staff to the loyal local customer base. The restaurant reflects a family-first ethos that shows up in both service style and operating approach. Pro tip: Check the hours before you go. They keep limited days and times -- mostly late lunch and dinner service -- which reflects their family values and operating philosophy.

    Energy | Grilled Chicken | Atmosphere…read more Energy: This place has genuinely great energy from the moment you walk in. The restaurant is divided into two rooms, each with a slightly different feel. The main dining room is large but arranged fairly tightly, with tables close together. While it's snug, it gives off a warm, lively "big family restaurant" vibe -- full of conversation, movement, and shared enjoyment rather than feeling cramped. The second room is more private and quieter, with about 8-10 tables that seat roughly 4-6 people each. If you're looking for a more intimate or low-noise experience, that room is definitely the better choice. Grilled Chicken: I ordered the grilled chicken, and it was a standout. The portion was generous and satisfying without being overwhelming. The chicken itself was well-seasoned and cooked through while still remaining juicy. The vegetables served alongside it weren't just an afterthought -- they were well prepared and complemented the flavors of the dish nicely, adding balance and color to the plate. Altogether it felt like a thoughtfully composed, hearty meal. Atmosphere: We visited on a Saturday night, and the place was packed -- always a good sign for popularity and food quality. Even without a reservation, the wait was only about 10 minutes, which was impressive given how busy it was. The one drawback to the evening was seating. We ended up next to a family with three very young kids, which shifted the mood away from the romantic dinner we had planned. The lively environment is great for groups and families, but table placement can definitely affect the experience depending on what kind of evening you're hoping for. Pro tips: - There's a surprisingly good amount of parking available, which makes arrival easy even during peak hours. - Make a reservation if you can, and specifically request the more private room or a back-corner table in the main dining room for a quieter, more intimate experience.

The main room has music playing which is a little loud when the restaurant is full. The side room is a bit quieter, so if you want to be out of the noise, that is your spot! The food was really good. I had the special risotto with sausage and mushrooms, and Nate had the lemon chicken with veggies. We also shared a chocolate souffle. All the flavors worked really well together. Honestly my favorite part was the wine- the papale primitivo di manduria DOC was so flavorful and full bodied. It tasted exactly as the description. The service was a little slow at first but Filipe our server was great once it got going. This place was very family friendly and tons of kids were there- so this is not quite the date night away from the kids we were hoping for. The food is also priced similarly to other local spots- expect to pay $50-70 per person for 1 drink, a meal, and shared dessert.

Fried Flounder (Special): Buddy said the artichoke sauce was the highlight. Piece of flounder was big but overcooked and dry. Oyster (not pictured): East coast oyster. They were good, nice and fresh but overpriced imo. Fennel Salad (not pictured): Got the vinaigrette on the side. Needed more fennel. Too sweet imo. Little less honey and little less sugar in the dressing America, . Oranges were the highlight. If I were to get it again, I'd ask for both the hot honey & vinaigrette on the side and ask for extra fresh cracked pepper to even out the sweetness of the dressings.

A couple we've befriended told us they lived in Fairfax for several years. They are big fans of Dolce Vita. We were told that a reservation is necessary as the place is popular. We decided to finally try Dolce Vita this past Saturday and reserved a table for an early dinner. When we got there, the place was practically empty. We were seated at a four-top table and were told that they had hosted a large party earlier in the day. They were still rearranging the dining room when we arrived. The staff was friendly and efficient. During our meal, the manager checked on us more than once. Alas, there is no sign in the dining room indicating where the restrooms are, so we asked the server for their location. Sadly, we weren't impressed with the food. We started with a bruschetta appetizer and also ordered some garlic bread. When the bruschetta arrived, it was very attractively presented. It consists of: "roasted garlic, tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella". The bread was tough and chewy, with little garlic flavor. We've had bruschetta before, and it was made with fresh tomatoes. I picked up a piece, bit into it, only to have half of the toppings fall on the table. The fresh mozzarella was basically 4 thin, small slices that one adds to their serving rather than a sizable ball of mozzarella. There was also a small pile of microgreens that were meant to be added to the bruschetta, an unusual addition. I ended up cutting up the bread, which wasn't easy. Nothing like having to fight with one's food. For my main course, I chose "chicken piccata," which consists of "pan-seared chicken and broccolini in a lemon, caper, and white wine sauce". The chicken breast was well prepared, moist, and tender. The sauce was fine, although I wished it had more capers. As for the broccolini, it was barely cooked at all, not even tender crisp. Again, I had to fight with a menu item. My husband chose to have "baked ziti bolognese al forno" which consists of "ricotta, tomato sauce, beef bolognese and mozzarella." He found part of a bay leaf in the dish. The dish was very cheese-forward, and the cow had walked through it, leaving very little of itself behind. In conclusion, we don't plan to return as it was rather disappointing.

I ordered the Filetto di Manzo cooked medium but it had no pink upon receipt which I was fine with but it wasn't what I asked for. It was a small piece of beef atop a bed of mashed potatoes that was relatively unflavored although tender despite being overcooked. Complimentary fresh bread came with the meal which my wife didn't think was freshly made. Service was good. The staff were pleasant and kept our glasses filled and needs taken care of. Overall an ok visit. Nothing stood out as a must return to try again given other options in the area.

Service throughout the meal was excellent. Our waitress was attentive without hovering, kept drinks topped off, checked in at all the right times, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The dining room itself left me with mixed feelings. It was incredibly humid inside, to the point where it became distracting during the meal. The booth seating also wasn't my favorite. The pleather-style upholstery made it surprisingly difficult to slide in and out, especially if you're sitting toward the wall. It's a small detail, but one that stood out. We ordered family-style so everyone could sample a little of everything, which I always think is the best way to experience a menu. The Caesar salad was the undeniable star of the table. Absolute banger. The dressing tasted unmistakably house-made with the perfect balance of richness, garlic, lemon, and anchovy. It's one of those deceptively simple dishes that can be hard to execute well, and they absolutely nailed it. The carbonara was enjoyable overall with a silky sauce and great flavor, but the pancetta was cut into pieces that were much larger than necessary. Smaller pieces would have distributed the flavor more evenly and made each bite feel better balanced. The table bread with the red sauce was another pleasant surprise. Fresh, comforting, and exactly the kind of thing that keeps everyone reaching for "just one more piece." The chicken parm sandwich had plenty of potential, but it was noticeably dry. It really needed a more generous helping of marinara to bring everything together and add the moisture you'd expect from a chicken parm. One area that could definitely use some attention is the restrooms. They were functional, but they felt tired compared to the rest of the restaurant and would really benefit from a refresh or remodel. Overall, this was a solid first visit with far more positives than negatives. While I'd probably skip the carbonara and chicken parm sandwich next time in favor of trying other menu items, that Caesar salad is something I'd order again in a heartbeat. It's rare for a salad to completely steal the show, but this one absolutely did. I'll definitely be back to see what else the kitchen has to offer.
