We have been here twice, once on a whim and another on a Sat. nite with a reservation. By far the best Italian food we have had in the area. The prosciutto was the real deal, the salads were crisp, fresh and delicious. Our entrees were outstanding. Service was impeccable, and they aim to please. Even our cocktails were outstanding. We will go back, wallet permitting.
This was pretty much the worst food I ever ate. I took my fiance out to dinner for his birthday and the only good things at this overpriced restaurant was the service and ambiance.
The calamari was rubbery. The lasagna had a nutmeg sauce. I ordered penne alla vodka and it was more like penne all bacon.
Great Reston location, well designed and very friendly staff. Too bad the food is awful.
The food was excellent if you can afford it. I might have to sell my youngest so can eat here again.
