It's nice to have a restaurant close by enough to walk to, but it's fairly mediocre Italian food…read more This is the second time I've gone and the food was still just ok. I got chicken piccata and my friend chose a pasta with red sauce and meat, I forget the name, but she told me it didn't have much flavor. I actually enjoyed my dinner, the chicken wasn't rubbery but also not very tender, and the sauce was what brought it together. It was lemony but not too overpowering as I know to many capers can make a dish sour and bitter. An issue was getting the server's attention, even though he was nice and attentive when he came by, he didn't really check on us, and I had to ask twice for the complimentary bread initially. My friend wanted to get another coke but we had to try and find him to flag him down, and honestly the restaurant didn't seem that busy, a lot of tables were empty, so I'm not sure if our little corner was forgotten. The other time we went, we both got different types of pasta with one undercooked and the other overcooked, which is why I avoided the pasta this time in favor of the chicken and broccolini. I'm not sure if I'll come back to try the pizza. At least the coffee was good at the end that I ordered, and my friend liked her dessert as well.

Many times, over the past years, we've driven by Dolce Vita, but we never went there for a meal…read more For us, Esposito's was where we went for Italian food. A couple we've befriended told us they lived in Fairfax for several years. They are big fans of Dolce Vita. We were told that a reservation is necessary as the place is popular. We decided to finally try Dolce Vita this past Saturday and reserved a table for an early dinner. When we got there, the place was practically empty. We were seated at a four-top table and were told that they had hosted a large party earlier in the day. They were still rearranging the dining room when we arrived. The staff was friendly and efficient. During our meal, the manager checked on us more than once. Alas, there is no sign in the dining room indicating where the restrooms are, so we asked the server for their location. Sadly, we weren't impressed with the food. We started with a bruschetta appetizer and also ordered some garlic bread. When the bruschetta arrived, it was very attractively presented. It consists of: "roasted garlic, tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella". The bread was tough and chewy, with little garlic flavor. We've had bruschetta before, and it was made with fresh tomatoes. I picked up a piece, bit into it, only to have half of the toppings fall on the table. The fresh mozzarella was basically 4 thin, small slices that one adds to their serving rather than a sizable ball of mozzarella. There was also a small pile of microgreens that were meant to be added to the bruschetta, an unusual addition. I ended up cutting up the bread, which wasn't easy. Nothing like having to fight with one's food. For my main course, I chose "chicken piccata," which consists of "pan-seared chicken and broccolini in a lemon, caper, and white wine sauce". The chicken breast was well prepared, moist, and tender. The sauce was fine, although I wished it had more capers. As for the broccolini, it was barely cooked at all, not even tender crisp. Again, I had to fight with a menu item. My husband chose to have "baked ziti bolognese al forno" which consists of "ricotta, tomato sauce, beef bolognese and mozzarella." He found part of a bay leaf in the dish. The dish was very cheese-forward, and the cow had walked through it, leaving very little of itself behind. In conclusion, we don't plan to return as it was rather disappointing.

This review is regarding our meal on the patio the evening of 4/4/26. We were impressed that the…read morestaff picked up on my birthday, since I didn't mention it, and offered a complimentary dessert. Server Kelly M. took our order for a Caesar Salad, Margarita Pizza and a glass of red wine (light meal). A different person delivered the salad and pizza to us, and the food was good. However, we never saw Kelly from the time she took our order until we finished eating. She then showed up with an empty wine glass, said the wine order did not get put in, and asked if I still wanted it. I said "no" since we were done with our meal. At that time, I requested the Cheesecake w/cherries for my complimentary dessert, a small box for pizza, and the check. More than 20 minutes later, Kelly brought a box and the check, but no dessert. She then asked if I "had decided" on a dessert. I repeated that I would like Cheesecake with cherries. After nearly 30 minutes there was no sign of our waitress and no dessert. We were not happy at this point, left cash payment on the table, and walked out. We have eaten at Reston 60 Vines multiple times. No complaints about previous visits; food and service were very good. However, due to the long waits, inattention, and mistakes by our server on this visit, we were very disappointed. We felt management should be aware of this so they can correct the problem. I'm sure you expect better from your employees. We will have to think twice about dining on your patio this summer. Linda

Tiki baby- pineapple lemon lime sage cardamom 6/10: a little too sour but first taste was delicious. Porto cooler- raspberry scrub, lemon 7/10 a little too much wine flavor but I'm a sucker for a good raspberry. Rigatoni bolognese: 6/10 too salty and maybe a little under done but still a solid bolognese. Grilled chicken thighs: 10/10 hints of curry and soooo juicy best thing by far.

We ordered a ton of tapas so we could really try the menu, and the food delivered way more than the cocktails. In fact, the drinks were so underwhelming that we couldn't wait to leave and grab drinks somewhere else after. Standouts for us were the broccoli Caesar (the dressing was so good), fries (must try), risotto, bolognese, arancini, and meatballs -- all solid and flavorful, and great for sharing. Big fan of the variety and tapas-style portions. The only real miss was the chicken liver. I *love* pâté, so I had high hopes, but this one was a hard no for me. Oh and do not skip the toffee bread pudding..I am still thinking about it. Bottom line: come hungry, order a lot of food, and maybe save your cocktail plans for another spot.
