For some. It's a community favorite. Just not mine. Pizza is all about the perfect balance of freshness and deliciousness. The ideal blend of savory sauce, cheese, toppings, and a yummy crust. Crust is not just what toppings sit upon. It should be tasty bread all by itself. This pizza, while it looked enticing, was served to me almost cold...and I was sitting about as close to the kitchen as one could get. The crust lacked a lot flavor. For me, it fell in the category of slightly better than cardboard. The bland, tangy, watery tomato sauce was too boring as if they were relying on the few sprigs of basil to season the whole pizza. The parmesan sprinkled atop my pizza couldn't save it. For the price, it was a decent size, but for my hopes of scarfing down some delicious pie, it fell really short.

We were surprised to find this place was very small and has the look of a quick serve place, which it is not. The server: very nice and attentive. No one here seemed to actually be from Italy, which we are accustomed to when going to Italian places. Food: the crispy artichoke appetizer was good. The whipped ricotta appetizer was delicious. For meals, we got the bucatini and this one pasta with a pumpkin cream sauce. They were both OK, I didn't love the Brussel sprouts in my dish, just didn't go well. We also ordered the side of chicken parm for protein, which was big and good. For dessert the cappuccino was good but was sweet for some reason (I didn't ask for any sweetener). The tiramisu was pretty good, I imagine homemade, especially with it being more yellow which is more traditional.

It's one of those small touches where you immediately realize the restaurant cares about more than simply getting food to the table quickly. I usually default to chicken parm at Italian restaurants, and theirs is genuinely good. But the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs is even better. Rich, flavorful sauce without feeling overly heavy by the end of the meal. Service has consistently been professional and relaxed, and the atmosphere hits a nice balance between "special occasion" and casual dinner out. I was originally introduced to this place by an old coworker. We didn't agree on much professionally, but they absolutely got this recommendation right. Still one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

Got to check off eating here as it's been on my list of places to try for years. The fresh flowers are a nice touch. We received complimentary treats from the kitchen which set the standard for what was to come. Could have eaten a million more. Our tuna tartare arrived and upon eating our first bites, the taste was off-putting. The staff was so kind to compensate by removing this item from our bill. The mussels are a good dish shareable for two; we asked for soup spoons to enjoy the broth. My friend typically does not order protein as her main entree (coming from a family who is skilled at grilling meats), though I was able to persuade her to share the pork chop. The staff offered to split this into two separate plates. I enjoyed the fact that were were supporting a local fresh pork farm based out of Mount Jackson, VA known as Baker's Farm.

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.

After locating my friend, we discussed her recommended dishes since she frequented Cafesano.

With the busyness of the Friday crowd, I expected there to be a wait time with ordering our meals, however, the order line essentially was non-existent, which was a win. The cashier was nice and efficient. However, when it was time for my food to come out, it took quite a bit of time. But, eventually my food came out fresh off the stove, which I appreciated. On to the taste of the dish. Unfortunately, with the promising words from my friend paired with the reviews, my expectations for this dish may have been quite high, causing immediate disappointment. I sadly felt like everything on my plate lacked flavor. The meat could have been seasoned/marinated better giving a more flavorful skewer experience. The portion size was good and price was very affordable. As it pertains to parking, the options were abundant.
