Wow this place blows away expectations. First there is ample parking in the back which might not seem like a big deal but it is just one less thing to worry about. The pizza is amazing and is our new go to place to pick up pizza from. All the pasta is fresh and delicious. Our table had the lasagna and spaghetti with a meatball and even the toddler ate it all up. The service was even better than the food. We were celebrating a birthday and brought cupcakes. The server took them to the back and played each one, going above and beyond anything we expected. This is a nice cozy and friendly place and the prices are less than $20 most dishes. We will be back again and again.

We were driving back to Roslynn, when we saw the Italian Cafe. We decided to stop and have dinner. This is a Family of Falls Church location. It seemed to us, everyone in the restaurant knew each other. The service staff was so friendly and helpful. The owner is so endearing and will make you feel like you are a long-lost friend, which is truly amazing. The menu changes and the food is really good. The wine list is simple and not overpriced. The restaurant is huge. When you enter you will see the Bar Dining Room and on your right another dining room. They also have a larger dining room for those large dinner parties. We love this place because they truly make you feel like you are a part of the Falls Church Community Family.

I was here for a private event and on a certain level it felt like I was stepping back in time. The decor is exactly as you see in photos and from the outside (looks dated) this isn't likely a place Id opt to go, but they were welcoming, attentive and the food was good. It was served buffet style with appetizers like antipasto, calamari, mozzarella sticks, salad, and pizza. We had cannolis for dessert that I'm told were smaller than a typical order, but were delicious. Don't make it to this part of VA very often, but definitely recommend this place.

I have been wanting to check this place out and it did not disappoint. I ordered chicken parm and it was FANTASTIC. I usually get chick parm only at The Palm but this one was just as god if not better. Perfectly cooked, the sauce was fantastic, 10 out of 10. It seemed like everyone knew each other, a very local place. Great service. I will be making my way back to try the rest of the menu.

Great, traditional, Italian food. Friendly, neighborhood restaurant with good service, and affordable prices. Excellent place to sit back and relax with a great meal and a beverage of your choice. Don't forget the Turamisu at the end!

We had a very pleasing and lovely 1st time dinner at this place. The lady that assisted us was so accommodating and attentive, she was so quick to get the empty plates so we can have more room for the main dish. Food was also tasty and delicious the pizza is also great with hand made pizza that is freshly baked. They also serve a very good bread with 1 of the best butter Ive tasted, this is being serve while you are deciding what you would want to eat. The ambiance of the place is also nice its a bit crowded but a nice and clean place for a romantic dinner, specially beside the window.
