Bleh. Hosts are always warm and welcoming! Servers...not so much! Bread always comes out cold. Wine, is well, wine. Pasta is ok. Music is always blaring loud inside or out. Doesn't give "authentic Italian" but it's ok. read more

We started with the fritto misto and meatballs, and both were delicious. For our mains, we ordered the spinach agnolotti, lobster pasta, tortellini, and the restaurant's famous bucatini carbonara. Every pasta dish was outstanding. You can truly see and taste the care that goes into making the pasta from scratch. Honestly, I couldn't find a single flaw with any of them. The bucatini had the perfect chewy, springy texture, while the tortellini was rich, decadent, and coated in a beautifully flavorful sauce. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared and well-balanced. The restaurant is understandably very popular, so it gets quite busy. The indoor dining room has an interesting layout but feels a bit cramped for the number of guests. If you're visiting on a pleasant summer day, I'd definitely recommend requesting an outdoor table--it makes for a much more enjoyable dining experience. Our server was incredibly patient while we took our time looking through the menu and deciding what to order, which we really appreciated. read more

If you're looking for amazing Italian food that also comes with experience this is the spot! I attempted to make reservations but it was fully booked so took our chances walking in and was accommodated! I don't believe they have parking so plan to find street parking or maybe a garage. Located in the Ballston area of Arlington. When walking in we discovered the restaurant was decked out in Christmas decor, super nice! It was perfect for photos and I loved that and you can find it throughout the restaurant creating a festive vibe. We ordered a new appetizer which was fried calamari, shrimp, and scallops. We had the famous Chicken parmigiana à la vodka. It was crispy, flavorful, and cheesy! They put the hot cheese with sauce on top of the chicken at the table so you know it was served hot. We added shrimp to it which paired really well! It was a nice serving of chicken and pasta. We also had the bucatini pasta which came with ham which was crispy and salty. It was finished with a flame cheese wheel at our table. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely be returning to this one and add it to your list for a nice dinner experience! read more

I was a bit skeptical going to Carbonara because it has been all over Instagram, but it was actually incredible. To start the dinner they offer you a piece of prosciutto before walking to your table. They give you free bread for the table that was so good, I had to stop eating it so I'd have space for the meal. I went with a group, so we shared a bunch of items. I loved the chicken parmigiana, which they topped with cheese at the table. The spicy rigatoni was one of the best that I've had, it had a good kick while also having good flavor. The Caesar salad had chunks of Parmesan and pancetta, definitely an elevated Caesar salad. The service was great, and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend making a reservation early because they book out. I will be back! read more

Carbonara - ITALIAN CRÈME BRÛLÉE CHEESECAKE - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Went for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. Server was exceptional and made us so comfortable while giving us space to enjoy the night. Food: - Aranchini- one of the best I've ever had. Comes with 4 pieces. - Bucatini Carbonara comes with a cheese wheel performance haha. Incredibly cheesy yet clean. - Pappardelle Amalfi was the perfect balance of rose sauce, with great noodles and sauce. Highly recommend making a reservation, as they do get busy especially for dinner. Street parking along the back of the restaurant and in an alley across the street read more

First time here and the food was pretty good. I wasn't too hungry so I didn't get anything crazy. The service was okay. There is a lot of seating inside and some outside. It's a nice spot in Ballston to grab some pasta if you're craving it. The lemonade was pretty sour. read more

This place is a MUST try. It's great if you're a foodie, or looking for a date spot, or just want to grab nice drinks before an event. I got the charred chicken savoy--it was to die for. The chicken was moist, the sauce was a great addition, all around great dish. When I'm back in the area I want to try their pastas though. My friend for the spicy vodka pasta and loved it. Their espresso martinis were great because they have an espresso machine, so fresh espresso = good espresso martini! They also gave us some delicious bread and we ordered meatballs as an appetizer. The service was also good. The place was crowded--no surprise, but we were constantly checked up on regardless. This place lives up to the hype! read more

Carbonara exceeded all of our expectations. After booking a table for nearly a month out (large party), we were so excited when the day finally came. You start off with some fresh prosciutto upon entry as well as bread brought to the table. We had three appetizers: the arancini, the Brooklyn Caesar salad, and the arancini. The salad was truly a must get, and I also loved the arancini. We split a bunch of entrees but you of course need the table side carbonara and the chicken parmigiana. The spicy rigatoni is also a can't miss. Service was fast and friendly, our water glasses were never empty. Lots of Tupperware and individual bags brought out for leftovers. I'd recommend splitting an app and entree if you go, or just bringing a large group and sharing a ton. We WILL be back! read more

It was a very nice place to have meals. The parking could be a small issue but we were lucky to find one spot. Dishes were great. We were very excited when we saw our pasta burning inside the huge round cheese! But I wish it had more flavor, salt and black pepper. It really was plain and the pasta was a bit over cooked. Other dishes like salad, calamari and fish were good. We especially liked the calamari. It was with some paprika and was tasty! Inside decoration was very nice, comfortable seats. Our server was friendly too. read more

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 3.5/5.0 Value 3.5/5.0 Decor 3.5/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 Very good spot. The pasta is pretty legit, the carbonara is good, and the chicken parm is good. The tiramisu was the only item that didn't really work... it's a decent concept to try to create a little show by 'making' the product in front of you, but the reality is that you really do need to soak the ladyfingers for a tiramisu to be a tiramisu -- they should change this. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, but wouldn't have an issue going back if in the neighborhood. read more

**This rating is highly skewed by their service.** Usually, if restaurants find out that you're celebrating a birthday, they'll give you some small complimentary dessert or simply send you away with well wishes if they don't offer anything physical. Carbonara led us to believe that we would be receiving a complimentary dessert and charged us for it. The waiter asked us if we were celebrating and we said yes. We did not at any point ask if they offered free desserts or furthered the conversation at all. It was just a simple "Yes." At the end of our meal, the server came out with a beautiful tiramisu and we all sang Happy Birthday. We thought that it was such a nice surprise since we didn't say anything about even wanting to order desert-- he just brought it out. Once the bill came, we then found out that we were charged $10! We would have declined it if we knew that it would cost us. Please don't ask if we're celebrating and then take it as an invitation to slip a dessert (that we didn't even get to choose!) on our tab. Thank you. Otherwise, every single pasta we ordered was so delish! It's such a shame that our experience ended on such a sour note. read more

Saw this in social media. It looked very good so I decided to try it myself. Went here on a Saturday evening. Outside seating was perfect at that time because the weather was so beautiful. The interior was modern and clean. Hisbiscus lavender cream and blueberry lavender no-jito were both refreshing but the latter was my favorite! Sweet but not overpowering. Baked clams oreganata were okay. These are breaded clams served on a hot plate. Nothing special. Nona's classic meatballs were yummy. Stuffed with braised beef and mushroom sauce, Tortelloni di Michael was light and creamy. It was good but my favorite was the bucatini carbonara table side. The server will come to your table with a cheese wheel and you'll see it being prepared. It was very flavorful and creamy. Soo delicious. The desserts were also yummy! The warm molten chocolate lava cake was rich. Served with vanilla gelato, it was a contrast between hot and cold, and rich and light. Pistachio ricotta dusted cake was light and delicious. It was a sponge cake with pistachio and ricotta creams and crushed pistachios. Very very good. Service was good but not the greatest. We noticed our server was spending way a lot more time at our neighbor's table, chit chatting more than at ours. Despite this, I would still give this place a 5/5 for the delicious food. Would definitely come back. read more

This visit was largely positive. Unfortunately I found the orecchiette only ok. The shrimp was overcooked and rubbery and while the sauce tasted awesome, there wasn't enough of it in the dish and it was too dry. Other people loved their dishes, such as the vodka sauce. I'd probably try their "famous" chicken parm with vodka sauce next time. The complimentary focaccia bread is clutch and the drinks are good. As far as table side carbonara: it's a fun experience and the pasta tastes great. I tested my friend's dish. It just doesn't really taste like carbonara. It tasted yummy and creamy but it's more like cheese noodles than traditional carbonara. read more

Great experience. Delicious food. The entrance is tight. You walk through the patio seating and once inside you have to navigate wait staff coming in and out to serve customers on the patio. All the staff were kind, helpful, knowledgeable and all were hustling. Our water cups were always full. Our waiter was fantastic. He was always willing to answer any questions we had and packed up our leftovers. There was an individual who was singing on 2/21 that evening and he was great! He was really entertaining and enthusiastic. Turns out the chicken parmigiana is a viral food on social media. So I opted for that along with shrimp scampi. The chicken parmigiana was really good. It's served all a vodka sauce, with melted cheese. So it's not the typical red sauce some are used too. It's creamy and cheesy and delicious! The chicken was seasoned nicely and it had a great crunch. It was served with two crispy fillets. The shrimp scampi was presented nicely and tasted great. The shrimp were medium in size and had a great grilled like flavor. My friend ordered a mushroom ravioli in a cream sauce. She raved about it! She was so happy with it. She also had the crab stuffed mushrooms and those were also very good. I tried the filling and it was perfect! I could have had just the filling and be happy. For a starter I got their pasta fagoli soup. It lacked a little salt but overall it had a great amount of pasta, beans and veggies. The interior can be loud. For a quieter experience the patio could be worth it if the temperature was right. I feel like they really try to maximize the space they have to get more customers in. It is tight at times. There was one table sat just right near the hostess station and personally that table there can cause a not so desirable experience for a customer who would be sitting in the chair vs the booth. Their chair could get hit as this is a high traffic area. The bar area was cramped once all seats were utilized at the bar and off the bar. The patio area also seemed pretty tight as well. Parking can be troublesome. We managed to find parking in the street around the corner. read more

Easily my new favorite Italian restaurant. I am Italian, and a snob when it comes to Italian food -- and this place delivered!! You definitely need a reservation ahead of time, as the restaurant is smaller than expected. Beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly staff! We had Caitlin as our waitress and she was fantastic, kind, and attentive. I'm 9 months pregnant and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the carpaccio, but she gave us the incredible recommendation of the meatball parmigiana eggrolls and they were incredible! The red sauce tastes just like how my dad makes. I got the Mahi Mahi Florentine special- absolutely delicious, hot, and flavorful. My husband got the famous chicken parm Ala vodka with rigatoni and I had to have a bite. Best vodka sauce I ever had! Yes, I had to have dessert too!! So I got the Italian lemon cake and it was spectacular. Nice and light, not heavy and not too lemony at all which I love. Everything was fresh, and we will 100% be back. I can't say enough great things about having Caitlin as our server. With the restaurant starting to get busy toward the end, she still made us a priority and gave us some really sweet words congratulating us on becoming new parents soon! read more

Stopped here on a Saturday night for our usual Italian dinner while in town for work. For the last 5 years, Filomena in GTown is our usual haunt - but being outvoted, we ended up trying here with a reservation at 9pm for 5 people. Located in Arlington in a downtown commercial area, the restaurant itself isn't very big - there are several options for seating: bar outdoor counter, outdoor patio, indoor booths, and indoor tables. We were squeezed into a table/booth table near the main walkway with a sightline to the bathrooms. For starters we shared the fried mozzarella, burrata caprese, 2 orders of meatballs, and stuffed peppers. The burrata caprese was very good - ripe tomatoes surrounding a burrata that was moist and liquid inside. Drizzled with balsamic and fresh chopped basil completed the dish. Must have. The fried mozzarella was a large portion, laying on top of vodka sauce which also was drizzled on top of the fried triangles. The meatballs may have been the biggest surprise to the meal for me. Usually an order of meatballs are just standard boiler plate items that all taste the same no matter what place you are eating at. This was not the case here. The meatballs were a nice mixture of sausage and other meat, as well as a blend of spices that made them incredibly good. I'm not much of a stuffed peppers fan, but the boys reported that they were very good. I scooped out the leftover sausage and cheese that was in the plate, and it reminded me a of a Pizza Hut supreme pizza (which is a great thing) and had a kick to it. In addition to the apps, we were also served table bread and sauce - which was very good. The red sauce here was very good - a very traditional marinara that is thin and not chunky at all. Good flavor. For my entree, I ordered the chicken parm which is served with spaghetti and vodka sauce. The spaghetti portion on my dish was smaller compared to the others in our party who got the same, but still good. This restaurant is very tuned into exhibition with several table side dishes, and the chicken parm chicken cutlet is served naked, with a waitress in tow with a cast iron of sauce and melted bubbly cheese which the pour over your chicken. The dish was great - sauce was incredibly rich and had a great flavor to it. Dessert is usually interesting when we go out on Saturday - and here was no different. I ordered the creme brulee cheesecake, which was served with a berry puree and whipped cream. Unbeknownst to me, this is also a table side production which the waiter torching the top of the sugar on the cheesecake to get the creme brulee finish. Flavor was great. Really liked this dessert and it is one of the recommended by staff. Our waiter - reminded me of Yadier Molina (STL Cardinals) was very good, joker with us and was very attentive. Overall, this is one that should be on your Italian hit list while in the DC area. read more

Pretty pricey spot for an inauthentic carbonara. It's more of a show kind of dish where you bring family and friends visiting from out of town, or try and impress your date. The patio seating in nice weather (and the outdoor bar seating) is definitely a plus. I just wish their carbonara was legit! If I do return I'll be trying another dish, maybe the chicken parm. read more

Great Italian restaurant on corner of street in Arlington. Paid street parking or parking garages available. Also accessible by metro. Make a reservation beforehand. We were able to get a table outside and they have heat lamps, but the wind was still rough. The service is really attentive and constantly moving. It was awkward to walk into the restaurant since you have to walk through the outdoor seating. The food was delicious and the gnocchi was a big portion I got to take some leftovers home. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is they brought me an alcoholic drink instead of the mock-tail I ordered. They apologized, but the drink they brought me didn't even look remotely close to what I ordered. read more

My husband booked a reservation for my birthday and I'm glad he did. We had a wonderful server (Potter) who was attentive and made good recommendations. Everything we had was good but the standouts for us were the meatballs (Something about the blend of meat and spices), the crème brûlée cheesecake and my cocktail (spritz straordinario). For awareness, the space inside is relatively small and it's fairly noisy. There was a singer who sang Frank Sinatra standards which was a nice touch. read more

I went for the first time with a few months ago with some girlfriends on a weekend around lunchtime but just getting to write the review now. We ordered two appetizers, a cocktail, and three pastas. While the service was okay, two of the pastas were subpar. My friend ordered the carbonara, which they make for you table side and inside the cheese wheel, but the cook was mixing around the pasta on top of the rind, so the cheese didn't melt at all and resulted in a watery and bland carbonara. I ordered the capellini pomodoro which was also bland and the capellini came out as a giant clump of pasta. We weren't offered any grated cheese with our pastas, which would've helped with how bland they were. We noticed other tables were offered the cheese. We notified our server of these issues so the restaurant made us new pastas, which definitely tasted better, but wasn't remarkable enough to warrant another visit. read more

One year + post opening and Carbonara has shrunk their portions sadly. I used to be able to take the vodka parm home and eat it two more times- I noticed that instead of two pieces of chicken they are now serving one. The $38 price remains the same but the portions have shrunk. Service is extremely hit or miss- either it's great or it's horrible and you wait for service constantly. On top of that, they purposefully do not hold any indoor seating for walk ins- this place is worse then New York City with their attitude when it comes to walk ins. We've come in twice (after making multiple reservations in the past year) to front of house staff pretty much scoffing in our faces that we even bothered to try to walk in (on a rainy Sunday). So while the taste is there, for the $300 dinner for 2 you can only get if you make a reservation for, I may have to visit other Italian spots in DC instead. read more

Still incredible! On a busy night I sat at the bar and had some of the better veal parm I've ever had. The special touch came when the actual parmigiana was pan grilled in a small skillet with olive oil then served sizzling straight from the oven and laid on top of the perfectly breaded veal. I dream about that meal sometimes. read more

I will endeavor to give this review a fair and unbiased opinion. 4000 plus reviews may dispute me but I know my food/restaurants thoroughly on top of cooking Italian food from scratch at home including my sauces. Having been to both Italy and traveled all over the US, I have experienced dining at both incredible and terrible Italian eateries. My wife is also from New York City and we are there frequently with at least one Italian dinner on the itinerary so both of us are well versed with the cuisine. Recently on a trip to Mexico City I stumbled across an Italian restaurant which matched the quality of what I have had in Europe which is a rarity so the mark or expectation for me is always high. When I see a restaurant with 4.8 stars, my immediate reaction is okay let's see what this is all about and this was my wife's birthday dinner to compound the expectation. We arrived at the restaurant and expected a brief wait which was no problem because I anticipated it owing to its popularity on social media and Google. After being seated, the customary water found its way to our table. This is where things started to go downhill because it took almost 15 minutes for a server to show up at our table and I usually decide my tip right at the outset of how long the initial service takes. Now I won't fault the server because he was incredibly nice but service was definitely lagging from the beginning. Appetizer - we ordered the burrata to share and I wanted to try the octopus. A burrata salad is part of every Italian meal I cook so I was judging and my verdict is that it was boring. Burrata cheese is supposed to be rich in flavor paired with the right tomatoes and balsamic glaze and olive oil and this simply didn't hit the mark. The octopus however was well prepared although it was a case of Ursula drowning in red sauce and bell peppers. Less is more but nonetheless the main star was good. The bread was just meh cold and where was my olive oil and vinegar? Entrees - eggplant Parmesan for my wife, baked ziti for the kids and I went for the king of the sea linguine cardinale which if I am not mistaken, was one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. Eggplant Parmesan according to my wife was soggy and the breading was lost in the thickness of the cheese and she ended up barely eating it. Ziti the kids enjoyed but it doesn't take a lot to please two toddlers especially when it's pasta and tomato sauce gravy à la Paulie Walnuts Gaultieri (for the Sopranos fans). The king of the sea linguine cardinale featuring some of the cast of The Little Mermaid was disappointing for being such a pricy dish. The dish lacked salt, pasta was a little watery and aside from the lobster and shrimp being decent (I wasn't aware there was a shortage of shellfish considering I counted 3 shrimp and 4 small lobster pieces), the scallops and mussels were substandard. I grew up on the shores of the Indian Ocean and have been eating seafood since I was 5 so I can't be fooled on seafood quality. The dish certainly isn't worth $49. Again, the server was incredibly nice but brought the incorrect bottled water and when I am paying extra for a bottle, I don't expect a careless mistake. It also took ages for us to get the crushed red pepper and salt and drinks. The meal was $193 plus tip and in my opinion it wasn't worth it. I've dined at eateries in DC and paid a fraction of the price for better food. My wife put it perfectly - Carbonara is a dart board without a bullseye to make a mark and inspire one to return which we won't unfortunately. read more

I found out about Carbonara via a Northern Virginia magazine compared to social media like most other people. They seem to be big on the table side demonstrations. Reservations are hard to come by for dinner, but I was able to get one for lunch today. The restaurant was half empty when I went, so I don't know why reservations were limited for lunch today at least. I ordered their two bestsellers, the chicken parmesan and the tableside bucatini. Both had a nice presentation and were very delicious. They are drenched in sauce, so probably not the healthiest, but tasty nonetheless. Service was attentive and refilled my water frequently. The restaurant is a nice ambiance for lunch or dinner, but I recommend lunch as it is significantly cheaper for the same items. I would eat here again! read more

It was full on a Thursday just after 5, wow! The person I was visiting and I showed up, thinking we were going to be able to sit at the bar... but we were shocked to see both that and all the tables were completely full. Thankfully, when we checked in, a party of 2 was finishing up, and they promised that table for us! We didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes. While waiting, I took in all the holiday decor -- it was even festive outside! It's a sight to behold if you're willing to sit out there -- thankfully they have heat lamps. But a day like today? I don't think I'd do it haha. Anyways, the ceiling was almost overwhelming with the decor, but it was so lovely! When we got to our table, we received menus and got to work. I had heard about the espresso martini flights, so that was on the list. There were 7 to choose from, but the flight only includes 3... so we took some recommendations. We settled on turtle cheesecake, tiramisu, and dubai chocolate. We had our highest hopes for the Dubai, but it ended up being our least favorite. The turtle cheesecake was actually the best... and the tiramisu was right in the middle. We shared the meatball parmigiana eggrolls which were really good.... came with what tasted like a marinara, which is unusual for eggrolls, but fitting for the filling. Our main dish was the chicken parmigiana gnocchi. It was a plate full of vodka sauce, and a slab of breaded chicken completely covered in gnocchi. That was a good dish! We weren't going to, but we decided to do the creme brulee cheesecake... and that was a good way to finish off the meal. I couldn't help but notice some Yelp accolades, and I can see why. I'd definitely return to this place! read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. When I first came here, I thought it was okay and the service was a bit slow. They have improved over time. Our waiter was wonderful and attentive and the food came quickly. We even had refills of our bread. A reservation for this place is definitely needed along. It gets very crowded and there are many people moving around because of how they enhance the food with the cheese wheel and spreading the chicken with the cheese. It makes the ambiance wonderful. Overall, I would suggest this place, with a memo that it does get loud and crowded and a reservation is a must. read more
