Surviving a move to a location in desperate need of signage, plus the pandemic, this jewel of Vienna survives. Unfortunately they don't sell individual slices anymore, it's just one size. On the plus side they have a great dining room and ample parking. Beverages are bottled coke products, gone is the fountain and booths. The pizza is New York thin crust excellent. Great undercarriage. Little grease draining off with pepperoni and sausage. The sausage is fairly salty though. It's hard to fall, it's a good place for pizza. The taste is not what I remembered, it's been a while since I've been here, but it's good pizza. One major change: Signage. Something outside that points the way, and a drink menu inside. If they are going to have a dining area, fill it out a little. Encourage people to eat instead of just takeout.

Perfectly crispy crust with no flop. Delicious, homemade red sauce. Interesting specialty pie choices (I had the garlic mushroom with basil). I would be in trouble if we lived closer to Falls Church. Aside from the near perfect pizza, the guy working the counter, making the pizzas, and bringing you your food was the most hospitable and gracious person. Wasn't sure if he was the owner or not, but regardless, he delivered the best customer service with a smile. Only con would be the seating...it is very small with a few tables (more of a takeout spot or a quick lunch bite). We will be back....soon

The server seemed cold at first but he eventually started joking with us and he was pretty nice. The bruschetta was underwhelming - i definitely could have made it at home. The mozzarella was good though - different style than other spots. The pizza was standard (good), the fettuccine Alfredo almost had no flavor - had to add pepper and I never do.. the garlic pasta was also average. We didn't love the chocolate cake but the gelato was great! Not sure if come back - I have too many go-to Italian restaurants closer to home.

I first heard of The Italian Oven around the time that the owner of Esposito's restaurant in…read moreFairfax was being forced to close her restaurant. This was due to the landlord telling her she had two weeks to close her place, as he intended to put a car wash in its spot. I kept an eye on this story. That's how I discovered that Maria Esposito ended up working at her cousin's restaurant, The Italian Oven. Thus, the place had been on my radar, and finally, we got there. We were here on a Saturday for an early dinner. The place was almost empty at the time, so we were told to pick whichever table we wanted. We chose a booth that was by a window. The place does have an Italian restaurant ambiance, complete with checkered green and white tablecloths. Our server was prompt in getting to us. We gave him our drink orders. I had water while my husband had a Heineken Zero. At that time, we placed our appetizer order, which was fried zucchini. Their menu is overwhelming. It was tough trying to figure out what to try. Finally, I decided to try their spaghetti aglio e olio, and my husband had spaghetti with Italian sausage. We both chose to have side salads. The salads had a nice creamy, garlicky dressing. However, they also had an overabundance of button mushrooms, as well as pickled beets. I'm no fan of either of these items, so my husband gladly took them from my salad. As for the zucchini, we got spoiled after all those years of having it at Esposito's. The Italian Oven's version was a close second to Esposito's. My spaghetti aglio e olio was well seasoned. It contained plenty of sautéed garlic, just enough olive oil, and a sprinkle of black pepper. The spaghetti was cooked al dente. My husband liked his dish.

Each dish tasted fresh and delicious (all of the pastas and breads are made from scratch there) and the service was excellent (shout out to Emilio for great service and for making our evening so special). The ambiance is casual and friendly- it's not a white table cloth kind of restaurant. But if you want an excellent, freshly prepared meal at very reasonable prices, in a relaxed atmosphere, with tons of free parking, this is a GREAT choice.

I found pappardelle at Dal Grano's once and that says all you need to know. Papardelle are wide,…read moresoft, flat pasta noodles that I first had in Rome decades ago. Growing up Italian stateside, I never knew about this light, wavy pasta dish. So pappardelle pasta is like some rare delicacy and I love it. This pasta dish is not easy to find unless it has been popularized in the Italian dining scene, recently. How can I explain this pasta? Papardelle are not thick like butter noodles, but instead they are thin yet wide. And at Dal Grano's, they must be experienced to be savoured. Do call ahead, because they might just have them made. Dal Grano's is a neighborhood place. We love how when you are dining, they actually talk to you and are friendly. There are a few other places around Mclean proper which I wish were more overtly warm and hospitable, in this way. All of Dal Grano's pasta is homemade and delicious. It's definitely great for carryout pasta or a diner-style environment with a homemade pasta lunch or dinner. I don't think they deliver or work with any of the delivery services. You just call and pickup. The butternut squash ravioli is tender and flavorful. We have probably have gotten different versions of their ravioli every time. Outside of the papardelle, I'm all in for their rich squid ink pasta when it's made. I don't go there enough to know if it's always available. They have over 50 homemade pasta combinations to choose from and a big freezer case of food to take home. My biggest issue with Dal Grano's is when I see all of the pastas in the serving bowls presented to order and cook, I want to buy them all at once. I know it sounds tacky, but they make me yearn for a pasta buffet there just so that I can taste all of the variations. Alas, if we were in town more we'd just need to go more often to taste all of their selection. There's only one other restaurant that does Italian this well and it's around 15 minutes away in Falls Church. But even that fabulous Italian restaurant does not compare with the amount and selection of homemade pastas at Dal Grano's.
