    Terrible knots
    Chris C.

    Pizza was good, but the knots leave much to be desired. They are little burnt balls of dough. Staff is nice.

    Large pepperoni pizza. Just delicious.

    Love this place! We've been patrons since 2011. That's eight years getting pretty damn consistent food here. Maybe on 2 or 3 occasions we've had a missing item. That's it. We ordered tonight and food was fabulous. We didn't get a full picture of the pizza before a bite was taken - I'm sorry about that. But the hunger bug bites you and boom, it strikes you. Pizza was cooked to order (regular, not light or well done), nice firm yet foldable crust. Not burnt and not too soft/underdone. A tad greasy but that's to be expected with the epic amount of cheese and pepperoni they load up on these pies. I always dab some paper towels on top to soak up that overload. It's good as is, but I am trying to watch my grease intake (I have this grease valve, it gets too full sometimes... it's a mess. Don't ask!). We've expanded and tried their other items like the grilled chicken sub, the chicken Philly, and we've had the jalapeño poppers. Jalapeño poppers aren't so great. To be honest they're kind of yucky. Cheddar doesn't go in poppers, cream cheese does. Every time we've tried them, the cheddar is a solid block of semi-warm or cold cheese. Cheddar doesn't melt well no matter how much you fry the crap outta them, and it'd probably burn the outside if they were cooked to the point they need. Grilled chicken sub is my husband's favorite. I also like it too, as well as the steak and cheese. The chicken Philly is exactly like the steak and cheese as far as texture goes but it's also on the salty side. I like that though. All subs we order without lettuce. Lettuce under prolonged heat wilts and gets super soggy. Don't do it! We love their mozzarella sticks! Crispy and served with marinara, they're a perfect app for the pizza. I haven't had their bacon cheese fries in forever but I'm dying to try again. Not sure about the rash of bad reviews. We order often and it's always been good. I'm so glad Paisano's put the rewards program in place that I've been bugging them for!! We will be consistent patrons as long as they stay awesome!

    Sadly, on busy nights it looks like we are back to under-cooked pizzas again despite the manager's best intentions. The salads and subs have been much better lately though, but I'm just not a fan of soggy middle on a pizza.

    good quality and delicious pizza and wings. the pizza could have used a bit more sauce, but this place is a great switch up from pizza chains.

    Great hot pizza, fast delivery, great service. First time having them, quite happy! Delivery driver is really sweet and helpful too, as even though I didn't hear him knock, he made sure I knew it had been delivered!

    I came here for dinner tonight, and I ordered a baked spaghetti with meat sauce that came to around $13. The meat sauce cost an additional $2 which the Cashier forgot to mention. The Manager was standing right by him and didn't say anything. I just left it as is and didn't say anything. I could tell right away when I walked through the door that this place is mainly geared towards pizza delivery, but they do have some seats. It took them about 7 minutes to prepare this and bring it to where I was sitting. It was a cent size portion of spaghetti and it tastes good, I'm still working on it. This also included two pieces o garlic bread and it tasted good as well. They did a fine job, and I will come back again when I get the urge to eat more spaghetti!

I only described the experience. Ironically, my experience was not even about her, I think she just has such a guilty conscience, she assumed it was about her. So now we have a restaurant owner, who allows their waitstaff to deny service to people if you write a bad review??? Talk about the tail wagging the dog! Plenty of much better restaurants out there that offer good food, and waitstaff that actually does their job, which is waiting on customers. Hard pass for me.

It's a beautiful restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Our waitress was amazing. Our merry group went for the family special of $50/pp. it sounds like a lot but they give you SO. MUCH. FOOD! We were up for the challenge. There's fresh rolls on the table and the first course is two salads, the Caesar and the Maggianos. Both are delicious, fresh croutons and the dressings are definitely made there. The Maggiano salad was my favorite. It had blue cheese, bacon and avocado. Also you can order refills. Next is your choice of two appetizers. We chose the meatballs (6 large ones) and the calamari fritte. The meatballs are delicious, a little "bready" but still large and good. The calamari was tender and cooked perfectly. Not chewy like at some places. Refills anyone? We had to pick 4 entrees...I thought a serving each but no. It's a serving for everyone at the table. Also, do you want more refills of anything? Holy cow!!!! Then three different desserts, again large enough to be shared. The butter cake was my favorite but hubby gobbled up the tiramisu. The only con was that some felt it to be a little salty. It was an amazing experience and I do recommend.

My absolute favorite dish is the Alfredo pasta, and I always pair it with the Parmesan-crusted chicken and sometimes I'll add blackened shrimp, which I did this time. The Alfredo sauce is hands down one of the most flavorful I've had. It's buttery, silky, rich without being overwhelming, and they give you such a generous portion that you definitely leave satisfied. The Parmesan-crusted chicken is just as delicious. It's moist, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Adding shrimp just takes it over the top. We also had the mozzarella sticks, and they were everything you want them to be, crispy on the outside and absolutely overflowing with cheese on the inside. Fresh, hot, and really delicious. I also have to mention their wine selection, which I really enjoy. Whether you want something light or something a little more bold, there are plenty of great options to pair with your meal. What I love most about Maggiano's is the atmosphere. You can truly make it whatever you want it to be. It can be a casual night out, a family celebration like we had, or even a romantic date night. It has this perfect balance of cozy and inviting, depending on your mood. The staff is always very knowledgeable and pleasant, which makes the whole experience even better. There's plenty of parking, it's great for groups, and it's definitely kid-friendly.

    Recently, we were treated to Sunday brunch buffet at Fratelli's by friends…read more We had actually been here a couple times previously, but that was a few years ago, so this review is based solely on this Sunday brunch. It was a very good experience. What stood out to me was the excellent service by the professionally dressed servers, especially with the water, champagne and coffee refills. The dishes were all well-prepared, even if the buffet isn't huge. And actually, there was a chicken in cream sauce that was ultra ultra delish. But I understand that Fratelli's rotates dishes in their buffet, so the chicken dish may or may not be in future buffets. The buffet included your typical waffle station. It also included a dessert table, which was cake and pie. Yeah, we'd come back to Fratelli's buffet again.

I had been a few dates with her in the late winter into spring, and this was our 2nd to last date. The date was pretty good, but the relationship didn't go anywhere ultimately. I lived in Wheaton, and she lived in Arlington, so that posed challenge of seeing each other that much. I got a girlfriend over 1.5 months later, which was good for a while. The food at Fratelli was excellent, best Italian I've had in northern VA except for Scafa's in Spotsylvania County, which is far from the true northern VA. I got some noodle, mushroom, some meat dish, which was excellent. Service was good too. I'd come back here if I was ever along the Van Dorn corridor, but the odds are low of ever being around here these days. In fact, I used to live over here walking distance to here but never ate here when I did, and I've never shown my girlfriend of 1 year 9 months that apartment as we just are never over here and live a bit closer to Baltimore than DC now. Ironically, we were in Alexandria just yesterday (Old Town) for a birthday party, but Alexandria in general is quite rare.

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.

Community There's a strong community feel here -- from the welcoming tone of the staff to the loyal local customer base.
