07/31/2026 We came in tonight for my birthday. My mom came…read moreover from Delaware, and I wanted to bring her here to try the food. My wife and I are always talking about the different locations where we dine, and she kept saying, "I can't wait to try it." It was a little busy tonight. There were only a few tables left when we arrived, and shortly afterward they were all filled. We ordered drinks, and I also ordered the Baby Kale Salad. It had fresh apples that were sweet, crisp, and cut perfectly. The vinaigrette complemented all of the ingredients without overpowering them. It was a great way to start dinner. If I had one small suggestion, it would be just a little more dressing, but it was still wonderful. The three of us shared it. For dinner, my wife had the evening special--chicken with pappardelle pasta, asparagus, and a delicious sauce. My mom and I both ordered the Lasagne with house-made pasta, beef, fresh mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The meals came out looking fantastic, as they always do, and everything was excellent. My wife's chicken was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and it paired perfectly with the pappardelle pasta. I already knew the lasagna was going to be outstanding, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The service here continues to be exceptional. Our water glasses were always kept full, empty plates were cleared promptly, and everyone worked together to make it a great dining experience. For dessert, my wife and I ordered our favorite, the Lemon Cheesecake, and my mom chose the Apple Bread Pudding. The cheesecake was excellent, as always, and the bread pudding was also very good--my mom absolutely loved it. Overall, another outstanding meal with excellent service. We will definitely be back.

Il Gusto Ristorante, located in La Plata, MD, offers plenty of parking and a wide variety of…read moreItalian dishes. I had been hearing good things about it, so I decided to give it a try. We visited around 1 PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately, which was a great start. For appetizers, we ordered the Caesar salad and calamari. The Caesar salad was surprisingly small and came with only two croutons. The calamari was a decent portion size, but the flavor was just okay, I've definitely had better elsewhere. For our entrée, we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. The flavor itself was very good, but the noodles were extremely watery, almost giving the dish a soup-like consistency. The portion size was also extremely small, especially considering the price point. Overall, I found the restaurant to be quite expensive for both the portion sizes and the overall dining experience. While the service and seating were fine, the food was ultimately underwhelming for me. Unfortunately, it's not a place I would return to.

We were camping nearby last weekend and decided we weren't in the mood to cook. Since this seems to…read morebe the only pizza place near by, we checked it out on a Saturday night. At first we weren't impressed. It's a seat yourself place and the girls at the counter greeted us. And then we sat. And sat. We almost got up and left, but then our server came around the corner and looked shocked. Apparently no one told her we were there. After that though, she was ON POINT. We started with full size salads (we were hungry after hiking all day) - Caesar for Hubby (with chicken), because that's how he rolls, and the Ledo Italian for me. The Caesar dressing looked a little thick, but it was amazing! You can taste all the layers of flavor, even a hint on anchovy. Just the way it's supposed to be. What he really loved was the chicken! It was hit and fresh off the flat top. Super tasty. My Italian was good too - full of fresh ingredients. I did note that the menu pics show it has salami and pepperoni in it, but mine was missing the pepperoni. Not a big deal. The dressing was really interesting. It's called Ledo Romano Cheese and Herb Dressing, which I was picturing more as a vinaigrette, but it was actually creamy. Really flavorful though! It also comes with black olives and pepperonchinis, but I always skip those. On to the pizza - we ordered extra cheese and pepperoni. This is NOT NY style, so if you are expecting that, you are in the wrong place. What it is is a distinct flaky crust rectangle. They don't use mozzarella, either - it's smoked provolone. But do t let that bother you, the flavor is fantastic. The sauce has a hint of sweetness, which I actually prefer. You can taste the tomatoes better that way. It was loaded with cheese and that thick sliced pepperoni that they seem to be known for. Fantastic service, really (surprisingly) tasty food and decent prices will have us back again when in the area. The only reason they lose a star is because the crust on our pizza could have used a few more minutes in the oven. It was doughy.

But the service is what really took the cake! Unfortunately I had a little incident where my phone fell into a crack in the booth, and we weren't able to get it out. It was the kind of thing that was unfortunate, but not anyone's fault. Even so, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help. The owner was unable to get a contractor to get the phone out that night, so he worked all day the next day to retrieve the phone himself so I wouldn't have to wait another day. On top of all that, they paid for my dinner because I had to come all the way back from DC to get the phone. Crazy ordeal, but just an example of how much they are willing to do to help out their customers even when they weren't at fault. I will absolutely be coming back any time I am in Fredericksburg. Shout out to the owner and the manager, Tim, for being so helpful. P.S. The mushroom ravioli special I had on night two was also delicious, as was the pesto gnocchi, zucchini soup, and pizza my friends had.

My God, what a true 5-star experience…read more We were in Fredericksburg for the day, and I'm so glad we decided to give Orofino a try. The cozy indoor dining room transports you to a relaxed, no-frills neighborhood restaurant you'd expect to find in Naples, Italy. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in at just the right times. They were attentive without being intrusive. We never had to ask for plates to be cleared or flag someone down when we were ready for dessert. We started with the calamari, followed by the lasagna, and finished with the lemon cake. I also had an Aperol Spritz. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell nothing relied on frozen ingredients or store-bought sauces. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in the Fredericksburg area, I highly recommend Orofino. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.

This is my first time here as we recently moved to the area. I'm from New York City originally so…read moreI'm a little bit of a pizza snob. My Son had the chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich. I had the nachos and a margarita. And my mom had a personal pizza. My mom said that her pizza tasted as if it had been frozen and then reheated. We also ordered the jalapeño poppers. Cheyenne was our server and she was fantastic. I thought she did an amazing job at serving as she was by herself, so I felt really bad for her. I feel bad for her because she was working the bar taking orders serving and cashing people out by herself. At least she was by herself for the first half of my visit there. From what I can tell the restaurant fairly clean and I'm sure it gets very busy. I did not visit the bathroom so I don't know what that was like. They do have a game room which I thought was pretty cool to have something to do as well as food and drink drinks Coming from New York City and living in NOVA for the last 7 years to this area I do feel that the price point was a little high. And to be honest, although the food, was not the worst I've ever had it wasn't the best and at that price point I do expect it to be a lot better.

Our waitress Tori was outstanding! She really was friendly and quick! My son took us here since we are visiting and ordered a couple appetizers- fried ravioli and I can't remember the name but they were fried risotto balls filled with cheese and I wish I had just ordered a second round of these. The menu is quite large. We had a different variety of pastas- my daughter got their grilled red snapper and it was amazing!!! My son got a simple clam in white wine sauce. My daughter's BF got a seafood pasta that had clams, mussels, crab and shrimp. So much seafood! All cooked perfectly. I had a simple pasta with marinara that was clearly slow cooked and made with love. The ambiance is delightful. The decor is modern and beautiful. Outside seating is available and they have a great drink / wine list. During the week they also have a great Happy Hour menu. The servings are enough for two people the share so I suggest getting two different entrees and splitting.

Now let's talk about the star of the night: the veal carbonara with the freshly made bread in house, hands down the best I've ever had.

It's the kind of dish that stops conversation for a moment because you just need to appreciate how good it is. Between the exceptional service and a carbonara that sets a new standard, this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Italian cooking done at the highest level.
