After being sick for a week from food poisoning, we have come to realize the pizza we had here was the cause of it! Our service was great and had originally left a great review but all the people who ate a slice had an upset stomach! I leave honest reviews and do not care for any kind comments from anyone! To the owner: if you care for your customers at all, please look into what you're serving! Not a happy customer! read more

Went there last night for dinner and some wine! Excellent service, very quaint place, local hang out! Great food! Definitely will be going back! Awesome Atmosphere! read more

Although we called ahead (as they do not take reservations) because we had a large party, the seating was extremely inconvenient at high top bar tables with an infant and toddler....but we made it work! I ordered an apple pear martini (3 times before receiving it) and it was very bitter however; the food and the friendly staff (even though our waitress was slow) is what made me go up a star and settle at 4!!! My Jack special was PHENOMENAL! Chicken Parmesan was amazing (hubby ordered) the white flatbread...delicious! Maybe it was the fact we came on a Sunday.... either way, the food was good enough for a return and a second experience! We will be back based off of just that. (Hope for a different waitress/waiter) read more

The food was delicious (mostly Italian-inspired, but a good variety). The service was prompt and friendly (waitress happened to be a friend of ours), and the outdoor dining area (when the weather is nice) is comfortable and shady and perfect for dog owners. read more

Excellent location with live music. Great cocktails, and good food. Had the Bruschetta, Chicken Parm, and Carbonara. But what really made it was our server, "Big Jenn." So sweet, kind, patient, and helpful. She made the experience thanks! We went on a Saturday evening. read more

Monza - Prosecco, espresso martini, sun burnt male - Italian Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Great food and friendly staff, they go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome.

Another amazing meal at Monza. My sister and I had dinner here again last night. Monza is my new FAVORITE place in Manassas! Olivia the bartender was one of the best servers I've ever had... and Daniel, her bar back, what an amazing team. Monza never fails to impress me. The oysters are to die for, literally, to die! I had the Penne Cilantro last night for the first time, it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was just fantastic. Ask them to spice it up a notch if you're in the mood for a kick. Do yourself a favor, give Monza's a try, fall in love, then tell your friends. This place is truly a gem in Old Town Manassas! read more

I've never had a worse dinner. The food and drinks were okay deserving of 2-stars. However I think the server forgot our table. After 40 minutes I asked she seemed panicky and 20 minutes later our dinner came out with the salad and appetizers . It wouldn't have been that bad except my brother didn't get his food, we told the staff about the mistakes and after another 20 minutes he got his pizza. The manager came by, "it sounds like we really messed up tonight". We were offered free drinks but I would have expected the whole meal to be free. Maybe the server was brand new, I don't know. It was bizarre. read more

I have been to Monza many times. The atmosphere is excellent if a little loud at busy times. The service is always spot on. The food is usually consistent even if it is not that memorable. That changed on my last visit. While they don't specifically call themselves an Italian restaurant, they tout on their website brick oven pizzas and house made pasta. And they are named after a city in Italy, so let's call them Italian inspired. One of the more memorable things on the menu to me is the arancini. Fried rice balls stuffed with cheese served with marinara. Perfect small plate for sharing. What's not to love? Except the marinara has been replaced with a cilantro sauce. Now I am sure there is a region in Italy that may use cilantro, but I have never encountered it in any Italian restaurant. And since I am one of the many people that have a genetic intolerance to cilantro, I cannot eat it. On to the bruschetta. This has been changed from a classic bruschetta to another never before seen in an Italian restaurant. The basil and garlic has been replaced with guacamole. You read that right. Call it something else because bruschetta it is not. Also it was rather bland. As usual the service was excellent. read more

If a zero was allowed I would put it, went to Monza with family been here several times and never an issue. We were seated and everything was going well we ordered drinks and an appetizer, then things went down hill fairly quickly. Our drinks came and our over cooked mozzarella sticks as well, we finished up our drinks and our appetizer and then it begins we waited about 25 minutes and watched our waitress walk past us several times never stoping to check on us or ask if we wanted to order. Attempted to get he attention and failed as she seemed to avoid our attempts. I decided I would walk up to the bar area and see if I could get some help, as I was standing there I saw why our waitress wasn't doing much, she was to busy drinking at the bar with an gentleman who later we found out was the manager. After the shocked look on our waitress face and the I don't care look of the managers face I returned to our table, several more moments passed and a new waitress came and began to apologize for the waitress and what had happened and stated the restaurant is shot staffed. I asked to speak to the manager, he did show up and it appeared he didn't care he was drinking on the job, drinking with an employee. His demeanor, attitude and lack of care was very evident. He had no explanation and just mumbled something that I couldn't understand, I asked our new waitress what he said. She stated " give them free drinks" Not what I wanted to here, we wanted our order taken so we could eat and enjoy the evening. The only bright spot was our new waitress she did an amazing job after taking over and continued to say she was sorry for the actions of others. Never did the manager return or check on us not even an apology, this made it seem this was an ongoing situation and no real management is happening. To conclude my long review, our food came out it was good and our new amazing waitress did an outstanding job. read more

I had a mommy brunch date here recently. The food was good but not quite filling. For a new mom that is BF, you know how our appetite gets ;). It's spacious enough for a stroller and/or car seat to maneuver through. They also have private rooms in the back if you want to host a special event. They have a side door where you can bring your stroller through so definitely baby friendly! read more

Based on the pizza I ate today, this restaurant would not be able to get certified by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana. In Centreville there is a restaurant called Ciao Osteria that is certified. The pizza at Ciao Osteria is amazing. The pizza at Monza is much better than Pizza Hut or any large chain, but it's also not real brick oven pizza. Here is how to improve: https://americas.pizzanapoletana.org/ BASIC REQUIREMENTS EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS: *Wood-burning oven. An approved Neapolitan pizza must be cooked in a wood-fired dome oven operating at a temperature of about 900 F. Coal, electric, or wood/gas combination ovens, while capable of producing a delicious pizza, do not conform to the Neapolitan tradition and are not allowed. *Mixer. The dough must be kneaded either by hand or with an approved mixer (spiral, fork or double arm). No vertical or planetary mixers are allowed. *Tools.A wood or aluminum peel to introduce the pizza inside the oven, a long handle steel round peel to turn and remove the pizza from the oven, a metal (steel or copper/tin) oil cruet, a 5 inches spatula and polyethylene proofing boxes are widely suggested. INGREDIENTS: Only fresh, all-natural, non-processed ingredients (preferably imported from Naples or Campania region) are accepted. 5 STEPS FOR AVPN CERTIFICATION After review the rules showed in our Disciplinare, please refer to the following steps: 1.Print and fill the new member application 2.Prepare the set of documents, pictures and videos for the first preliminary evaluation (click here) 3.Send all required documentation to vpnamericas@me.com. We suggest posting the demo video on YouTube and sending the link via email, as opposed to attaching a large video file. Please send the complete set of documents. Receiving of partial documentation, will only delay the evaluation time 4.The Board of Directors of AVPN in Naples, Italy will review all completed documentation, and then approve or decline the request for certification (this process will take at least 30 days). 5.In the event of an approval of membership request, a delegate of the AVPN will conduct an on-site investigation to verify the pizzeria's strict adherence to all the AVPN rules. In case of a declination of membership request, we will ask to perform some changes and send us the evidence of the corrections. read more

I've come here for years excellent service no matter the day of the week or the time of the day or the season of the year. Particularly enjoy summer nights on the patio with a band playing in the street. If you're in Olde Towne Manassas, you MUST stop by here. read more

An enjoyable evening on the veranda. I had the pasta carbonara for the first time, it was incredible! Pleasantly surprised, a definite must have again. Others were please with their meal selection as well. The waiter was attentive, but lacked in the timely cocktail refills. The time before we were inside, and it was enjoyable and entertaining with the pleasant staff. read more

Not sure how one can give a 4 or 5 stars to a below average restaurant. Setting and service are good but food is very basic, almost touristy. read more

We are trying to stay away from big chain restaurants and support small restaurants. While in Old Town manassas we decided to try Monza I understand not many people are working only 3 tables are busy at the bar one is completely done eating and no one came to our table to take our order after 2 people are just there just standing. We waited for over 15 minutes and decided to leave. On our way out my husband decided to talk to the manager and mentioned the reason why we were leaving he just smiled and said sorry. I just hope this was a one time careless moment from the employees on shift I will feel bad to be the owner and not know how many sales he is losing due to the lack of interest from some of their employees. read more

Casual, pleasant atmosphere. Great service. Great food- they have delicious burgers, bbq, and salads. We come here often.

Great service by our kind and attentive waitress Jennifer H. Milky Way Martini is soooo good!! Love the flatbreads.

It is such a beautiful day I decided to sit outside on the patio. I did go inside to wash my hands & the restaurant itself is lovely. This is my first time here and I'm having brunch. I ordered the French toast which came with bacon and eggs, I must say it's very light and fluffy quite delicious. Yum! I definitely will return and tell others about it. read more

Monza - French toast w/crispy bacon & eggs. - Italian Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

If I could give a zero star I would. I felt that the food was good but it wasn't good enough to block out the horrific service. I understand people are short staffed and that they were busy. However we waited well over an hour for food, had to ask many times for a refill and anything we needed. Once we were finally served we still did not have silverware. Once the silverware came he brought no napkins we legit shared one napkin between four of us as he just kept forgetting them. On top of it all our server reeked of weed which is very unprofessional at this type of a restaurant. Would not recommend read more

The food was OK, our sever was great. BUT we were shocked when we got the bill. They are charging a 5% COVID fee. What? Really? First, there were no disposable products except for nakins and menu. Clearly the two napkins and two paper menus did not cost the $3.40 we were charged. Further, this dropped to the bottom line as a taxable item. Again, REALLY? No other place we've been is pulling this garbage. To boot, the servers who have to wear a mask throughout their shift see none of this fee. Total gauging of the customer by Monza ownership. Maybe worse of all, there is nothing on the menu or posted anywhere letting customers know about the surcharge. Won't be back. read more

Went here for dessert and drinks. Service was terrible. Coffee and water took 15 min to come out to us and coffee was cold. Literally cold. After that I didn't want another one and then it took forever to get the check. After we finally got the check we waited another 15 minutes and I then walked my check up to the manager. Never again will I come here. This place sucks. read more

We used to love Monzas and go there for dates but now we will never go back. We knew it would be busy going on a First Friday and were patient because of this for the 15 minutes it took to get drinks and the hour for our appetizer but when after 2 and a half hours we had yet to receive our pizzas we were done. My husband had to chase the waiter, who kept on looking at us like "oh crap I need to get their food and running away,"to get our bill where he tried to charge us for food we weren't ever served. We left hungry and angry at the service for not acknowledging our table and the food for the tiny bite-sized 4 pieces of arancini we received. read more

The food was amazing, but our waitress Maddie needs some training. We use to be regulars until we had a baby and this was our first time back with our baby. I noticed my favorite pizza wasn't on the menu and when I asked her about it she said no sorry it wasn't available anymore. OK fine. It took her 30 min to come back and ask us what we wanted to order and when I asked her what's good she said the pizza....... Me: OK the pizza I wanted wasn't there what else is good. Maddie: The salads...they've had the spinach salad a while...... Me: OK well what dish is popular? What are people ordering a lot of? Maddie: Ummmm the sword fish sandwich is good if you like fish. So needless to say my husband orders a pizza I get the fried chicken blt..... 45 minutes later (and after all the other tables around us who came 30min after us and had the bar tender take their order got their food) ours shows up, and we only had 1 set of silverware and the ranch on my sandwich was not on the side. And then She's boarder line rude to my husband asking for silverware. Plus, in the 5 month hiatus we had from Monza they have cut the pizza section drastically as well as uped the prices...... sadly after this discovery we went from regulars to probably once in a blue mooners. May make a Tuesday appearance (that is if they still have the Tuesday martini specials) :-/ ....... but on the bright side, the musician playing outside was amazing! He was the saving grace of the whole dinner...helped pass the time waiting for our food :) read more

Stopped in on a busy Friday night to listen to the live music and grab a bite to eat. Battle St is closed off between Church and Center St for live music and dancing. It's an awesome atmosphere. When we got there, we were told it was a 30 min wait for an outside table. No big deal as we put our name on the list and went inside to the bar for a drink. Within 5 minutes, the hostess found us at the bar and immediately sat us outside. From there, it just went downhill. We had to flag down the hostess again because the waiter never came over. Then, we literally had to stand up and wave our arms to get the attention of the waiter; he had no interest whatsoever to wait on us. So, after 30 minutes, we finally placed our order and the waiter never came back again. Our food was brought out by the kitchen staff and we were never checked on again. It's a shame, because the food was good and the atmosphere was great. This should have been a 4-star review if it wasn't for the waiter, or lack thereof. Unfortunately, next time we will dine on the other side of the street. read more

Monza - Godfather meatball sub - tasty! - Italian Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

I really went back & forth between 3-4 stars. In previous years, it would have hands down been a 4 or 5 rating. The food, especially the pizza, and drinks were awesome! Nowadays... not so much. The owners decided to change the way they made some of the foods, including the pizza. It's just not the same anymore. I've been so disappointed the last few visits. However, the drinks are always on point! I especially love the sangria - red or white! And you certainly can't beat Martini Mondays. This place is still a fun place to hang out and drink - it's very popular, making it hard to find seats during the weekend. And if you like oysters (I don't), my friends rave about their appetizer. read more

The one thing that frustrates me to no end is when I ask for a certain brand of alcohol and a drink is made for me and the minute I taste it I know it's incorrect. When I ask about it and I'm told it's a different brand. I'm sorry in my opinion not all vodkas taste the same so if you don't have what I ask for tell me, I can change my drink order. That has happened to me on two different occasions with two different bartenders here. Other than that service has been good, and it can get really busy here. It's nice that they offer outside dining and have an acoustic performer. As for the food, I think it's average. The seafood pasta dish lacked flavor. The calamari was basic and fried but tasty. The pizza I would say is more of a highlight here. I've had it a couple of times, one time I did receive a completely burnt one. I was shocked that it was even served, but when I pointed it out it was immediately corrected. For Manassas I would say it's a nice alternative to the options available. read more

I can't believe this was my first time here, it's so cute and quaint. The bar is to the left when you walk in, it has an old cabin-like feel to it, large wood bar top, plush stools, I was instantly a fan; I kept saying "it's so cute in here!". 6 of us sat at the bar, it was a quiet night so I think we were a welcomed distraction for the bartenders. I ordered the Vienna Lager, it's a little more hopping than a Yuengling, pretty good. When I checked in I received a free dessert with pizza purchase; I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork pizza- apparently I ordered off an old menu because all the items on the one I initially ordered from weren't part of the meal. The old one had feta, pineapple, pulled pork, and BBQ. The new one has BBQ, pulled pork, pineapple, bacon, and jalapenos.. I didn't have much of a choice since the first pizza doesn't exist so I went for the spicy one....and man was it spicy! The jalapenos were so fresh and tasty, I had to cut them in half and even remove some! Quality was good though, good crust, plenty of toppings throughout, pretty happy with my decision for $14. I had a few bites of my friend's tortellini...this is what I'm getting next time- YUM. The dessert I chose was the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake..please and thank you can I have another? I would definitely suggest this as a date night spot, I'd like to sit in the dining area next time. Thanks to our lovely bartender, David as well! read more

So we stopped into Monza this evening for dinner. A little hesitant after our last Carmello's experience. Thankfully, this experience was nothing like the last. This was our first time to Monza and personally it's more my style than Carmello's. It's very tastefully decorated, they situated us in the corner by the window and it was a perfect little spot to people watch on the street. They have an impressive selection of beers and wines, as well as signature drinks. For dinner we started with the fried risotto/mozzarella appetizer which was a good size and a very original. We both had side salads and they were fantastic. I had the spinach salad, and was very excited to see that they had one. Something about Spinach and goat cheese just warms my soul! The citrus dressing was delicious, very well made and not overpowering at all. My other half selected the Monza salad which had an excellent combination of cranberries, walnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette that would compete with some of the best I've had. For dinner we split the margarita pizza which is obviously cooked in a brick style oven. The crust was perfect, and I have kind of a nitpick for pizza. Being from NY I know good pizza, this was well done in my book. They had an excellent check in offer on yelp as well, a free dessert with pizza purchase. The creme brûlée was sweet and hit the spot. The only two things that kept the rating from a five star review was the waitress made a few mistakes, first timing the entree a little better so you don't tell us, "want me to keep it under the warmer?" I was a little turned off by that. Nothing like food drying out under a warming lamp. And both cups of coffee she brought me were not very hot. Very good coffee, but just wasn't hot enough. All in all, I will be back to the Carmello/Monza restaurants. I was impressed with the turnaround. read more

I came here after a day out at Chrysalis Vineyards. We wanted some food and good drinks. We had eaten a lot throughout the day so something small would do. Monza is in Old Town Manassas. Quaint and hidden, this gem is a great spot! They seated us right away and accommodated our large party nicely. We got menus right away and their drink menu was great! Lots of fun and tasty martinis and a beer and wine selection that would make me make the hour and half drive to try them all. I want with the Almond Joy, this drink was delicious, it tasted like a dessert! I loved it! my friend got a fruity one (it had berries in the name.) But it tasted like Kool-aid, we loved the drinks! I also had their Vienna lager, had a bite to it that was really nice. The food, we ordered appetizers, we assumed the dishes would be small, they were not! They were very generous! I got the calamari and the aracini, super yummy! I ordered two and got full, the calamari was good, a little salty but good. My favorite were the aracini, freshly made and the cheese was oh so yummy! I did not share them! I like this place, its cozy and tastefully decorated. I love their drink selection and wish I ordered an entree. Come here with friends and enjoy! read more

Monza - Best Gluten Free pizza we have ever had. - Italian Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

My husband and I have lived in Manassas for almost 3 years and have really been at a loss to find a place that was not the regular chain restaurant. We recently visited Monza and found a new favorite! Monza's atmosphere, decor and food make it a go to place if you're looking for a change. We weren't really that hungry when we visited (we were mainly looking to get a few drinks and an app). The app selection was OK. We had the calamari which was a bit over cooked, but it's hard to find perfectly cooked calamari anywhere. Their draft selection is minimal, but good. They could really use a stout on tap. They have a large selection of wine though. In addition to the calamari app, we had a margherita pizza which was delicious! all the ingredients were fresh! Just enough to split and not be over stuffed! Afterward we had the crème brulee and chocolate cake, both of which were good, but nothing to write home about. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. We will definitely visit again soon. Great place all in all. read more

I really, really love Monza. The food is great, especially their pizzas. They have a huge martini list with $5 specials on Mondays. I have sat at the bar several times and the restaurant a few times and both have been good experiences. The vibe is laid back and informal and the decor is homey and modern at the same time. Service is always attentive and courteous and I just like it here. Monza has been a wonderful addition to Old Town Manassas and a great alternative to their neighboring restaurant, Carmello's. read more

Wow. I would have refused to pay the $90 (split so almost $200) if we weren't with friends.... we got there at 630.... didn't get to order past our apps until 745!! our food didn't come out until 835, AFTER I waited by the bar for the manager (which it magically came out 5 m later ) & he didn't do one damn thing for us! We had a young baby with us who luckily had his ordered with the apps, and had to patiently wait for us for over 2 hours to leave the restaurant. (4 adults 1 baby) not even offered to take off an appetizer or a free dessert not even a sorry for the wait. Yes it was busy, not our fault. Other people had gone and left and because we are honest people we didn't want to just leave since we did have 3 apps and a round of drinks already ... boy I wish we had just left! This is a pic of the bill time we entered our drinknorder and time we finally got the bill.... if you can't handle a busy night don't stay open. If you're in the wrong and make people wait 35 m to order and almost an hour to actually get the 4 meals, then admit and own up and fix it like any well managed place would. I honestly can't even judge the food because I am so fuming still on how the service was that the food is meaningless. read more

Monza - Ridiculous wait times terrible service and management could careless - - Italian Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Best Kept secret in this town, A very Gracious Owner who cares that people are having a goo time, enjoying their experience. Decent Wine selection, Great Drink Specials (Happy Hour til 7pm) They have added tables on the sidewalk for drinks/dinner out when the weather is nice. Try the tortellini, you won't be disapointed... Try going on a Monday night for the Martini specials, the weekends get a little crowded, but it is still a fun stop, even if you are just passing thru. read more

Diner beware! Terrible service. Had to get up to get check. Paid in cash. Female server assumed that she was to keep the change 30% of the bill--without me saying anything or asking if we needed change. Then was rude when we asked for change. Ordered side salads, got side salads in large bowls, charged for dinner salads. If you want great service, and excellent food, go to Katerina's just down the block. read more

I came here with my mom and a friend of mine for a happy hour dinner outing. We ordered some martinis, tons of apps and decided to take advantage of the Touch Tunes juke box, and that's when it got awkward and took a turn for the worst. As everyone knows you have to pay $1+ to play a song on one of those things. Well we played a song and not more than halfway through the bartender decided to skip it. Obviously being a little thrown back we asked why she did that and she said she'd replay it. Here's where it gets awkward. The beer reps at the bar and the bartender decided to talk about it and the song for a long enough amount of time that we decided to leave. It's a shame because if that hadn't of happened we would've probably stayed there for several more hours. The food was decent. We usually love Carmellos their sister restaurant next door so that was expected, the drinks were tasty although the martinis were on special ($5 on Mon) and tasted a little watered down. If you come here, expect some good drinks and food, but if you decide to change up the music from anything other than "crooning" expect your money to be taken and your songs skipped. read more

Probably the best restaurant that is in the wasteland known as Manassas. The food is good, the beer selection is amazing, and service is good to great if you sit at the bar. Best bet, food wise, are the pizzas. Sandwiches are fine if you like frozen fries, which I don't. If I can cut a potato and deep fry it, you can too! Ps Beer fiends will be happy here. Promise! read more
