MMJune 29, 2015Burrata w eggplant and hazelnuts is simply amazing!! Garganelli's Bolognese is best I've tasted and seafood risotto is delicious too. Save room for Italian doughnuts; only tiniest regret no cannoli
Try the Ossobuco With Garganelli - I'm in heaven.... although there is no carpaccio here!!! The pasta garganelli with almost Bolognese sauce is heavenly!!!- Try the Insalatina Di Polipo - Grilled octopus, celery, arugula salad with lemon juice & EVOO! You know what I would say, yummilicious tentacles!!!
Stop by and see Dan Salvie at the bar. Attentive, quick, and informative about all aspects of the restaurant and can hold a great conversation.
Scott StapfJuly 6, 2010This is my new favorite Italian restaurant in Nova. Have been three times and it just keeps getting better. Went there within a week of returning from Rome/Positano/Sorrento ... and was not disappoin

Great food. Noise level during peak dining times is extremely loud, to the point where conversation without shouting is impossible.- Try the Arancini di Riso - Saffron mini rice balls with parmeaggiano and sweet pea.
- Try the Panna Cotta - Normally this osteitis doesn't have Panna Cotta. Surprise today!! Me, like it!!
- Try the Burrata - Burrata with green beans, walnuts and slightly smoked speck.
- Try the Garganelli - Garganelli with beef, veal, and pork Bolognese.
- checkitoutJune 29, 2014Charming local away from the bustle of Tyson's Corner, but food consistently over-salted.
Mauro is a wonderful, attentive, and knowledgable waiter! Makes every visit a great experience.
- Try the Orichette w/italian sausage, spinach, mushrooms & cheese
Janine GreenbergDecember 28, 2014Not what I had expected from an Italian place, there are better ones in the area. The food did not impress me.- Try the Branzillo Alla Griglia Con Patate Arrosto E Asparagi Salati Con Salsaal Limone E Timo - Mediterranean Branzino
