    Fettuccine Alfredo with salmon
    Peyton C.

    The service was sooo slow. We almost got up and left because it took around 15-20 minutes for someone to come to the table and take drink orders. It was also a hassle trying to flag someone down to get a refill. Likewise, the food took a very long time to come out. It would have been nice to have complimentary bread or something, considering the long wait. The Alfredo sauce tasted like creamy pasta water with a hint of parsley. Pretty disappointing for a menu that leans Italian and mentions homemade pasta. The noodles did taste like they may have been homemade. Nonetheless, the sauce needs a redo. The salmon was cooked very well, but again the taste left something to be desired. It just had a faint herb and olive oil taste. This would have been fine if the Alfredo was flavored correctly. Since it wasn't, the dish was overall too bland. The pasta dish itself was actually pretty light. The photo looks like more than it really is, so adding some kind of protein is a good idea. My counterpart enjoyed the cheesesteak. The fries were also good. The restaurant is in a nice location and has ample outdoor seating to hear the live music. If they tweak the recipes a little and improve their service, I think it has potential.

    We met afterwards inside for snacks. And the customer service was just as great. Thank you all

    What a wonderful place to hold an event!!!! Honestly it could not have gone better. Everybody that works there was giving more than 100%. Thank you for helping us plan and execute a really fun night.

    Great place to go for good food and drinks. Went to Monza for a birthday celebration and had a great time. Peter was our server and he's the absolute best. Service was great. Outside seating was nice since it was a nice evening.

    I did a Cobb salad simply because it was the end of a travel day. Salad didn't disappoint. Staff was patient and the restaurant was clean. Nothing spectacular and nothing disappointing. It was an average visit that could be a restaurant choice when in a bind.

    The location is great in the center of Old Town Manassas, and the inside has a comfy ambience. We asked the server if we could sample before ordering a bottle of wine (only if they had an open bottle) since many wines didn't look familiar and the server had no knowledge of wines. She brought a glass of a house red... which later she corrected as the other house red. If there is a decent range of wine list, maybe the server should know a little more. Food was decent. We had arancini (fried risotto balls) as an appetizer, which were nothing special. Pasta dishes were not bad but not great, either. We wanted to try a new place and did. A lot of younger friends came in when we were leaving. Might try the sister restaurant next door next time though it's more upscale.

    Charcuterie & Cheese Platter Alexander was a very polite and friendly person. We would be back because of him

    Everything was nice and quiet. Great service by Alexander the salad and cheese platter was really good

    See all

    I cannot believe that I have lived within walking distance to this restaurant for the past three…read moreyears and never have visited. Hey, better late than never. Because of an unexpected change of plans, we decided to have a weekend dinner here, and it turned out to be a great decision - based on the food and service. What really worked for us was that the restaurant has a few outdoor tables, and the outdoor seating is dog-friendly. First, the restaurant has a pretty extensive menu with diverse options. I will admit that I was a bit overwhelmed when the waitress mentioned all of the specials for the evening. It seemed as the list kept going, going and going. Also, the restaurant has a dinner special for about 35 bucks that includes either a 3 course meal or a 2 course meal + a glass of wine. For my dining pleasure, I went with the baked (or maybe it was broiled) flounder that was served with potatoes and green beans. Overall, I thought my meal was absolutely delicious. I do wish the portions were slightly larger. Overall, I thought the service was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was very friendly and constantly checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Although we visited around 5:30 pm on a Saturday, I was a bit surpised with how crowed the restaurant became around 6:30 pm. If you are planning to visit around this time, I highly recommend making reservations even though this section of Wheaton can be relatively quiet. Also, the restaurant seems to be very popular with the eldery community. During our visit, I'd say the average age of diners was somewhere in the 60s.

    I went with my cousin for the first time and it was amazing! Everything was fabulous. Even the…read moresalad dressing was special. The long time chef, I believe his name was Manuel, talked us thru the menu and when he said everything was good, it was true. Then he gave us Portuguese pasteles for dessert topped with a bit of cinnamon... we were in frickin heaven. This was the first time we went but it will not be the last.

One of the highlights of the evening was the live flamenco performance, which created a lively and memorable atmosphere. The service was very attentive, and the staff were kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout the night. Overall, the food was decent, with a few standout dishes. The mushroom croquettes and fried eggplant were especially enjoyable. The patatas bravas and paella, however, were just okay. The paella in particular was quite mushy and lacked depth of flavor. The complimentary birthday dessert was a thoughtful touch and tasted great. While I'm not sure this will become a regular spot for me, since I personally prefer tapas restaurants like Boqueria or Barcelona Wine Bar, I still had a very enjoyable experience overall.
