Iceland is amazing. Everywhere you go, you are treated to breathtaking views, interesting features, and lovely people. But you know what Iceland doesn't have? Good pizza. Or Italian food in general. There are several places attempting it, but something is just off. The sauce isn't what we are used to. Why am I talking about pizza in Iceland? Because I had recently come back from a 9-day stint there, and flew into Dulles very late in the day. By the time we cleared customs (which was a mess) and got our bags, it was late. It was even later by the time we caught an Uber to our car and began a journey back home. After 9pm, there isn't much open, especially on a Sunday night. Thankfully, by pulling up my trusty Yelp app, I was able to find this local NY pizza style place that was open until 10pm and decided to go get it. My wife and I were definitely their last customers. Not wanting to make them make anything from scratch as they were already cleaning up, we ordered from the available pizza choices on display. You could almost see their appreciation as the gentleman helping us loaded us up with garlic knots and selected the largest slices for us. I had two sicilian pieces, one pepperoni and one cheese. My wife got the knots to share and a slice of bacon pizza. In a matter of about 5 minutes, emerged perfectly re-heated pizza and knots for us to enjoy. The sicilian had that slight crispiness on bottom from the re-heat that you actually love, but was pillowy and cheesy. It was great. My wife's slice was also perfectly heated up, and our garlic knots almost tasted like they were fresh. The garlic and butter was very present, and most importantly, EXCELLENT pizza sauce for dipping. The sauce is boss. I don't live in this area, but would definitely recommend Buon Appetito to locals and travelers alike for a local owned pizza joint, that while typical in it's menu and offerings, does a great job! So great, that I didn't get any pizza pics, because I scarfed it down fast.

After traveling abroad for 10 days, we arrived late night at the Dulles airport, Ubered back to our car and did a quick Yelp search for places open late. So happy we were directed to Buon Appetito! The owner was really kind to us. We came in about 30 minutes before they closed and they had already started their cleaning routine, but quickly stopped to help us. We didn't want to ask them to prep anything, so we ordered some already made slices. I got a meaty topping slice and an order of garlic knots. Both the pizza and knots were perfectly re-heated. The bacon was crispy but not burnt. Plenty of toppings, but not overly heavy as to make the crust soggy. The garlic knots tasted fresh, even though it was the last batch (and a big one at that). I think the highlight was their red sauce. Very robust flavor and paired perfectly with the knots and pizza crust. It was the perfect place for our late night pizza cravings before traveling back to Greensboro.

From the outside, you wouldn't think much of this unassuming hole in the wall place like Buon Appettito. But I hate to break it you my Yelpers, this place offers some of the best pizza and pasta dishes in this side of town. Service: we come here often and every time; we are usually met with friendly and accommodating service. The owner is especially nice and he was the one that recommended our go to dish which is the linguini tutto mare. Food: the NY style pizza never disappoints. But the star of place to me are their pasta dishes. I especially like their linguini tutto mare dish with red sauce. The pasta comes with a side salad and garlic bread. And it comes loaded to the brim with seafood. I'm talking mussels, jumbo shrimp, scallops, clams... all tasting fresh and goes well with the pasta. It will be hard to deviate from this dish but I'll be back soon and will be trying their other pasta dishes.

I had no idea this place existed and came because I found it on yelp. The beginning was a bit of a struggle when I asked what was exactly in a meal but then I believe the owner overheard and made sure I was happy and content which I was because oh my goodness, his actions were over the top. We ordered a large cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks and garden salad which was big enough for two people. Every person that walks in, he knows and hugs and asks how life has been. Truly amazing service.

Yum. Everyone wants that burned flavor. Right? RIGHT???

I dunno why this site didn't post pics. Read my previous review. Whole thing burned. Check your pizzas at pickup. Never got this on delivery.

been here enough for the staff to recognize our faces every week and give us me and my friends little nicknames. great family owned business. always so affordable and delicious. i will say, the pasta (carbonara in my case) was very heavy/saucy and difficult to finish alone. portion was massive though! orders never take more than 5-10 minutes at most and will customize to your liking! great for friends and family to sit around and enjoy some dinner

This place is legit. True Italian place serving thin crust pizza and various Italian dishes such as eggplant parm, ravioli, and spaghetti. We came here for the pizza and kept coming back for the pizza and their other dishes if we feel like it. But the star is the pizza. It's a hole in the wall place so don't expect much thrills and frills. Service is quick and straightforward.

This place has some of the best pepperoni pizza I've had in a while. The cheese was gooey, and the crust had just the right amount of chewiness. The service was a bit slow, but the pizza was worth the wait.

I recently saw that Buon Appetito was in the running for best pizza in Northern VA in the NOVA Magazine and wanted to give it a try, so I came in one day with a foodie friend who has been eating here for years. The place has the look and feel of the typical neighborhood Italian/pizza/sub joint. Staff was friendly, owner was very nice. Offerings are immense and great! They have lots of pies already made to get a fresh, heated slice from. They can make anything you want fresh also. They also have plenty of unique and interesting items in their menu, like a baked ziti style dish that I got, called "luna (something)" it was really good. Their red sauce is amazing! They even sell is by the jar! Their pizzas were good. The crust was spot-on! Toppings were of a high quality too. Meatballs were really good too. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'd definitely recommend stopping in for those seeking out true NY style pizza.

We decided to try pizza delivery from here tonight for Mother's Day's and we all loved the pizza. It is so delicious and filling. We ordered pan style pizza 16 inch and they are so large. The pizzas arrived via Uber eats and they were warm upon arrival. All items were in the order. We were all surprised by how great the pizza tasted and how little grease it had on it.

I will start off by saying that I had low expectations given the track record of non-chain Italian restaurants I've tried since living in northern VA of which 85% have been terrible (remember I'm from NJ where Italian food should be the state food). But I said YOLO, crossed my fingers and ordered the marsala via GrubHub. The moral of the story is that I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by Cantina D'Italia overall because the marsala was pretty tasty, spaghetti cooked almost perfectly, garlic bread with cheese perfectly seasoned and cheesy and they sent an added little unexpected bonus of a pretty side salad with a homemade vinaigrette and fresh Italian bread and butter! Oh and the portion was HUGE! Totally got 2-3 meals out of it. Cantina D'Italia has given me hope ... or I should say at least gave me an Italian restaurant I just might frequent and explore all the other menu options :)

Tonight's experience at Pupatella completely ruined what was supposed to be a nice family meal…read morebefore our flight. My wife specifically ordered the eggplant arancini because our family is very careful about what we eat. Instead, she was served sausage arancini disguised under marinara sauce and unknowingly ate some before realizing the mistake. By that point, the trust was gone. We had no choice but to walk out as a family. What made the situation even worse was that we were flying out that evening and simply wanted to enjoy a peaceful dinner together before our trip. Our son became so upset that he cried, and the entire evening was overshadowed by something that should never have happened. This is not simply about receiving the wrong order. People avoid certain foods for religious reasons, ethical reasons, health reasons, or allergies. Serving a completely different item without proper verification is a serious failure. In a diverse community like Northern Virginia, restaurants must understand that dietary restrictions and food choices deserve respect and careful attention. A restaurant's first responsibility is to ensure that customers are served what they actually ordered. Sadly, our family left disappointed, upset, and without confidence in returning.

That's probably because of all the really good Italian restaurants in all the major cities and Little Italy's up there. They were not crowded on a Thursday evening for our party of 9. I started with a Turino Old Fashioned, which features Whistle Pig Rye and hazelnut liqueur. The hazelnut was very prominent. But Whistle Pig Rye also has a distinct flavor, and I could not taste that at all in my drink, and in general I was expecting a stronger flavor overall. Our dinners all came out relatively close to each other, 7 of them in the first wave, and the remaining 2 within a minute. My Braised Short Rib Lumache featured maybe 1 scoop of the short rib, atop pasta shells in a cheese sauce. The pasta and cheese appeared to be the standout in this dish, when I would have expected it to be the short rib. I don't think the Italian restaurants in the Northeast need to be too concerned. And with them you are more likely to get personal feedback rather than something which is generated as comments and automatically suggests trying the Happy Hour for more satisfaction.

Come on, that's an instant five stars in my book. We ended up talking wine with him for a good part of the afternoon. He had us sample a few different pours before we landed on a Nebbiolo we loved. Later, after another conversation about wine, he brought over a taste of a white we'd never even heard of because he thought we'd enjoy trying it. It never felt like an upsell. It just felt like talking with someone who genuinely enjoys wine and likes sharing it with people. Relaxing patio, great food, excellent cocktails, and genuinely memorable service. We'll definitely be back, and Onyx probably will too.
