Maybe it was an off night. We heard good things about this place. That unfortunately wasn't our…read moreexperience. It was our first time here, and we had reservations at 6 on a Friday night. It was by no means packed, there were a few tables empty the duration of our meal as people ate and left. But the service was INCREDIBLY slow. They sent out an amuse-bouche which was nice- bacon and pimento in a little wonton cup. Our appetizers came out more than 30 minutes later. We ordered our son's kid's meal first, before we ordered our apps, but it came out after our entree's which was closer to 7:15. I assume the kid's meal coming out late was an awful server mistake, I can't imagine it would take over an hour to make a burger and fry up some potatoes. The chef was nice enough to let us order the octopus from the tasting menu (it was the only reason we came here, didn't realize it was part of the tasting). I almost did order the 5 course tasting menu, because it looked really good- but I'm so thankful I didn't. The table behind us was seated before us and by the time we left he was only on his third course. I'm also always cold but it was really warm in the restaurant. Not sure if their ac was broken or if it couldn't keep up with the weather. Not knocking the restaurant for this, things happen. But they probably could've used another few fans. We were the one table in the middle so the air wasn't getting to us. Not knocking the restaurant at all for this, it's a hot hot summer and things like this happen. The kid's meal portion was huge, actually bigger than my gnocchi order. We also ordered the brussels, pork ribs, seared tuna, tagliatelle, branzino, and pork chop. The pork chop was the most memorable thing. Based on this experience we wouldn't come back here on our own. We wouldn't rule it out though- if someone wanted to go here with us for any reason, we would consider giving it another shot.

Unfortunately this spot was disappointing from the moment we walked in. When we were trying to…read moreorder, the person behind the register was on the struggle bus. I had to repeat my simple order four times. When I asked if they had any milk (for the kiddos) she laughed and just stared at me confused. I explained it was for the kids and we were dining in. She said she wasn't sure and then over a minute later confirmed they didnt. I asked for four water cups and that seemed to be another confusing task and I had to repeat that while she got several options for cups (putting them back and taking them out) before handing them to us, and then couldn't remember if we wanted water or a fountain drink. Needless to say our order was incorrect. We received a deep dish pizza, which we did not want but ate regardless because we were hungry. The Stromboli was very good, but the crust was turning soggy after sitting for 10 minutes. On a positive note, the tirimisu was awesome! The tables didn't have any napkins or condiments for pizza/pasta (cheese, red pepper, or oregano) but up by the soda fountains they had one of each. The problem with that is of course people would take those to their table and not put them back. To avoid awkwardly requesting to use them and then bring them back we just decided not to bother. I cannot imagine why the restaurant wouldn't provide these at the table or at least have more available. Ambiance was good. Typical pizza shop - booths and some tables. Walk up to order. Nothing overly fancy, but perfect for a Friday night out.

When Pomodoro Fairfax closed a few years ago I thought I would never get another chance to…read moreexperience their spectacular pizza that I had been ordering for decades, never finding its equal. While I did find another really good pie in Andy's Pizza, even that as great as it is did not quite measure up. Only today, did I try the Pomodoro location in Sterling, not really expecting it to measure up (as I had previously heard it was different), but wanted to at least say I tried it before giving up on ever tasting the perfect pie again. I am delighted to report that the extra cheese pie I ordered was *exactly* the way I remember it from the defunct Pomodoro Fairfax location. The perfect sauce, the moderately salty whole milk mozzerella cheese with a a crust that has just the right consistency was all intact - no change from my fine memories. In short, it was a perfect match and a perfect pie! It goes without saying I will be back, but next time I will try the Chicken Parm (another standout from Pomodoro Fairfax). This time I will go in with the high expectations that it will be the same too. In short, this restaurant easily gets my highest recommendation to all. Five stars and then some!

ITALIAN WITHOUT THE SPLURGE: My favorite here is the spaghetti Bolognese. I've ordered it many…read moretimes and it never disappoints. I've also worked through several other pasta dishes and they've all been solid. The pizza is good and the meatballs are especially tasty. Bottom line, you get the quality of a sit down Italian restaurant at more affordable prices. That makes it an easy choice when you want something good without checking your budget first. They even offer bottles of wine around $30 if you want to make it feel a little more like a night out. It's truly a family run place. The husband and wife have been working here for as many years as I've been coming, and that consistency shows. They don't make their own desserts other than the cannolis, which is easy to forgive given everything else they do well. This place is a clear step above most fast casual Italian spots. Try it next time you're craving Italian.

We've been coming to Nick's Taverna for some time now, and it's hands down one of my favorite…read moreplaces to eat. The biggest thing I appreciate is the consistency--the food tastes exactly the way it should every single time. You never have to wonder if you're going to get a good meal because you always do. What makes Nick's special is that it's truly family owned. The family is from Greece, and they're still very involved in the restaurant. They even come in and contribute many of the recipes, which is why the food tastes so authentic. You can tell it's made with tradition and pride, not just following a generic menu. Their happy hour is one of the best around, with great food and drink specials that are tough to beat. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and they make you feel like you're part of the family. There are plenty of places to get Greek food, but I always find myself coming back to Nick's. The authentic recipes, consistent quality, great happy hour, and genuinely caring staff set them apart. It's the kind of local family-owned restaurant every community hopes to have.

Service A+ Ambiance B- (it is a sports bar after all)…read moreFood C+ Let me preface this by saying that it may be just a sign of the times. Last week I ordered a lamb shank and it was delicious. This week I had the Greek salad (small), New York strip, and a Guinness draft. I ordered the New York strip medium rare and it came back to me about a half inch thick and had the consistency of a hockey puck. Maybe that's a bit harsh, let's just say that I had my server, Tim (good job), put it in a doggie bag and I took it back home for my Shih Tzu (yeah, it was that bad). I'm not even sure how much of it really is their fault. The price of beef has gone so far up in this country that I recently read in the Washington Post that several top Texas BBQ joints have taken brisket off their menu and substituted in cow cheeks because they would have to charge about $50 a pound for it (Texas! tnx Donald). I did not ask for a refund, and they were kind enough to comp me a delicious cheesecake so the evening was not a total loss. Just be aware.

We typically get the ribeye and prime rib and for this visit there was a Teriyaki Ribeye special which we gave a go to try and it was not good.

The price for the ribeye and prime rib has increased significantly over the years but the quality is not consistent every time. At times, the steak is just dry and tough. Hope the food quality improves as we love coming here.

The crumbled sausage in the Julian or the Roma pizzas is pretty good. We also enjoy the Rustica. I guess I'm finally writing a long overdue review to see if the owner will reconsider baking the pizzas just a little longer, the centers tend to be soggy. Especially the Rustica. With all of the liquid that get cooked out of the veggies coupled with the center of the pies being underbaked, the middle of our Rustica was just a soggy mess once again. Please fix this! We will be back and want to continue to enjoy veggie pizza here, but it's a big waste to not be able to eat the center of our Rustica pies. One thing I didn't like here was seeing a dog walking around behind the counter from the kitchen one time (and yes the owner was there, she just told the pup to go back in the kitchen). Certainly that's a health department no-go and it left me questioning the health guideline compliance. Please keep it all on the up and up! Thanks
