    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.

    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.

    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.

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

It is a $24.95 flat price offering an appetizer, entree and dessert for that price. (Only available Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday from 5-6:30 pm). There were about 6 choices each for appetizers and entrees and 3 for dessert. My companion had a mussel appetizer and I had French Onion soup. My soup was a great example of the classic preparation. Bubbly and browned cheese over a deeply flavorful broth of onions and a slice of French bread. My companion loved the mussels. As to the entree I had what was called Beef Diane, a twist on the classic Steak Diane. It consisted of tips of filet in a delicious gravy flavored with cognac. My companion had Rainbow Trout and was very happy with it. For dessert we both had cheesecake with strawberry sauce. A good example of a New York style cheesecake. Both entrees were served with well cooked mixed vegetables. The portions were not a scaled down size but normal size. The meal comes with fresh baked toasted bread served warm. Delicious. The service was attentive which was to be expected because there were only 3 tables occupied. A complimentary shot of a what I think was kahlua was served at the end of the meal. The atmosphere is lots of dark wood and a classic bar. Great food and a great experience. Don't pass up this great value!!

I also enjoyed the mushroom and pomegranate with asparagus and the clams. The seafood with pasta was only okay. Clams were a bit small and it was an amalgamation of seafood but for some reason it didn't have strong flavor at all. It also needed more sauce. Someone else in our party had the fish and that dish was good.

    As you can see from my last review my family of seven really enjoyed our dinner here last year…read more This was my second time visiting here with my smaller family of only four for our 5:15 PM dinner reservation on a Friday evening. Carmello's and Monza in Manassas, VA, are sister restaurants and are owned by the same company. Both establishments are owned by Alice Pires. Carmello's opens at 5 PM. We were the first customers to arrive. A second and third group of customers arrived about 5-10 minutes after us. They offered us a table for four in the center. I requested a booth, which they obliged me. We were seated to the right side in a nice booth. We noticed the movable wall was closed between the two sections of the restaurant. I assume they had fewer customers than last time, when we were here on Mothers Day. The restaurant was packed on Mothers Day. I enjoyed my two Black Stags up with Makers Mark, bitters, lemon juice, blackberry syrup and soda for $13 each or $26 for both. I also enjoyed my seafood linguine pescatora for $46. I was charged a 3% credit card surcharge. My total bill was $297 excluding gratuity. Javier V. served us very well although a bit slow at times considering the fact the place was not packed with customers. I would rate this place slightly less than my last rating of 4 stars down to 3.5 stars. More to come regarding our flights tomorrow from IAD to ORD.

    3.5 stars but bumped for 4 for the cocktails, space, and service. Came to Taberna on a Monday…read moreevening and had an overall nice time. Service was great and attentive throughout with multiple waiters serving our table and the space is beautiful and cozy. It wasn't too crowded around 5:30 when we came and wasnt too busy overall. We left a little before 8 and it never got too loud or too crowded. I think walking in without a reservation would be fairly easy. They have a great cocktail list and I really enjoyed mine! It was a unique cherry and almond flavored drink while my friend went for a cucumber type drink. Both great. We shared 4 tapas which were surprisingly quite large and ended up being plenty for the both of us. We did patatas bravas, mushroom croquettes, fried manchego, and calamari. The tapas were good/average but nothing to rave about. Our bill came to about $120 which is probably about standard now but felt overpriced for what we got. They do a 20% service charge with 5% being operational and only 15% going to staff. Not my favorite...I dont mind a service charge but burying an operational charge into it made us confused on whether the expectation was to still tip or not. I wish restaurants were more transparent about this. I wouldn't come back for a full dinner but drinks were nice and service was great so I'd consider spotting in for a happy hour if in the area. Worth a try overall. I hope they consider giving their servers the full 20% of the service charge. 5% for operations should really be baked into the prices or otherwise listed separately.

We passed Taberna Del Alabardero on the walk from the subway to the hotel. It looked festuve, pretty and there was outside seating. We glanced at the menu and decided to go back. The staff were friendly, attentive and provided great service. The first place I've been where they poured Gray Goose in my glass in front of me. Fantastic! The decor inside was beautiful and my favorite color, green. The pictures on the wall and the colorful drapes with wood accents made it very spanish and kund of historical lookimg. The food was amazing! We ordered the octopus off the main menu and 2 items off a June experice menu. The octopus tasted smoked to me. I ordered because based on what I read about the restaurant I felt they would do it well.. and they did! The potatoes needed a touch of salt for us, but we are salt people. The Croquetas were so creamy and delicious with the garlic shrimp. The cream cheese on the toast set off the flavors of the carleized onions and whisky reduction pork. The coup de grâce was the Cheesecake desset. It was warm and a combo of airy and dense. The granny smith apples on the side were tart and pallet clensing. So good! We also received shirtbread cookies and a chocolate cookie thing that were delicious! The prices are on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. Great place for sharung and date night.

You have a choice between AYCE or by the pound. I know last time I came I got AYCE but honestly I don't eat that much anymore, so by the pound is more cost effective for me. There also are two different prices based on whether you want BBQ + sushi with your buffet. (Sushi??? I'll stick to BBQ when going Brazilian.) I tried to sample small amounts of the dishes on the buffet and then got some picanha and another steak cut (maminha). Both BBQ cuts were very good - I liked the maminha more. (Fraldihna is my usual favorite, and it's kind of similar to the maminha.). They had a chicken with capers that was probably my favorite of the buffet dishes. The stroghanoff wasn't bad. Some of the other meat dishes on the buffet were a bit dry. I got a mystery empanada which turned out to be guava & cheese, if it had been warmed it would have been better. I love guava, but there was just a little small rectangle of guava paste in the very center; probably 80% of the empanada had no filling. Similarly, the cheese bread balls were cold and hard. Those need to be right out of the oven to be worth it. It's a shame, they probably were good when they were first made but they weren't by the time I got to them. The potato salad was ok but the balance of mayo to potato & other veg was off (too much mayo). I had some fresh fruit too. All in all, I'd definitely come back (I love the steak!) but I'd focus on the things I know are good rather than trying a lot of things.

There are other places to enjoy Brazilian food where customers receive much better attention and better food.
