    Shrimp Scampi
    Ailun H.

    Pasta food stall at the bougie Tysons Galleria? Sure, why not? The pasta is made fresh daily? at Scolapasta and there are a few choices to choose from. You have the option to build your own (pasta + sauce + topping), or you can choose from the Chef's Selection list. A big group of us stopped by for lunch last Thursday, and our orders were ready within 10-15 minutes. Even though we ate it at the food court, the pasta were served in take-out boxes, similar to the ones you might find at an American Chinese joint. While these boxes trapped all the heat in and kept the pasta nice and hot, they were quite annoying to eat out of. SHRIMP SCAMPI - 16.50 +4.30 for extra shrimp I'm glad I got extra shrimp because I was able to eat a piece of shrimp with every bite of pasta. Again, the pasta was pretty hot and fresh, and the sauce was savory, more tomato-ey than the typical garlic butter flair. I loved the texture of the squid ink noodles, which was a bit chewy and soaked up the sauce well. We all got different pastas. Overall, we agreed it was pretty tasty but quite expensive for how much we got. I knew some of my coworkers were still kind of hungry after.

    I was so excited that this place is opening close to me! I love pasta and this build your own pasta concept is wonderful. It is located in a food hall so you have plenty of options and pairings if you want to try many different places. There is also plenty of seating and when we went, the ambiance was nice. It was quiet and we could easily hear each other. To order the food, they have a large screen you can order food on. I got the Arabbiata pasta with a fancy pasta shape and meatballs. My friend got white truffle pasta with shrimp. It was wondering and the Chinese takeout like boxes were larger than I thought. The only thing is it can get pricy. I felt I could get something larger perhaps at carbonara. Otherwise, the food was very tasty. I would definitely come back here to try more pasta combinations!

    Nice additional spot to grab food at Galleria. Very easy to order - either choose a few of their suggested pastas or make to order your own. Add protein to your pasta if you desire. I liked the the truffle pasta! Pesto was not a favorite choice. Staff were helpful and patient - takes time to decide on what kind of pasta to order! Packaging is cute in a small take out container. Drinks available to purchase and a few dessert options. Seating is in the same area - shared between several food establishments. Same parking that is used for the mall. Would try again!

    Cacio e Pepe tagliatelle with chicken
    Jae J.

    I definitely enjoyed how fresh the pasta was! I went with the create your own with tagliatelle, chicken, and cacio e pepe. Everything was hot, fresh, and it was the perfect portion. For $16, that is unbeatable to me. I went on a late Friday afternoon, so it was empty. Service was good, quick, and I quickly found a seat in the vast amount of seating in that area of Tysons Galleria. I do wish there were fresh options like basil or veggies, but also know that is not authentic, so I respect there not being those options. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Very much recommend trying the pasta here if you are in the mall. I definitely wasn't expecting the food here to be so delicious but I'm glad my expectations were exceeded! My fiancée and I ordered a custom pasta that was essentially like a cacio e pepe and got the squiggly noodles. Superb choice by my fiancée. The pasta was cooked al dente but was definitely made fresh. And the sauce was incredible. It had a wonderful cheesy flavor but not overpowering. Adding meatballs is a major upgrade to any pasta but especially the red sauce! The meatballs taste delicious and fresh. Some places have a frozen feel but not here. Ask for red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese! The service is always friendly and relatively quick for being fresh made food. Usually get our food within 5-8 mins. The ambiance is that of the mall it's in which is better than other malls by far. We continue to come back because of how good the food is here. Highly suggest eating here next time you're at the mall.

    White Truffle Radiatori Pasta ($15)
    Gellie E.

    Scolapasta has been on my to-try list for a while now, and I finally came here to grab a quick dinner. It took me a while to find where Scolapasta was located in Tysons Galleria (it's not listed in the mall directory kiosk). Find Scolapasta on the third level in a nook between Andy's Pizza and Shotted. It's a fast-casual type place where you order and pay at the register. It's a simple menu where you pick your pasta type, sauce, and then can add extra proteins or special cheeses. They also had chef specials of more classic dishes like shrimp scampi. I opted for the Radiatori (pasta with ruffled edges like radiators - great for absorbing sauce) and white truffle sauce ($15). All of the pastas are made in-house and they have a nice little display at the counter to admire the pasta and help you get an idea of each shape. They'll call your order number when your food is ready. There's no speaker system or screen to check, so stay close! Food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Food was served in cardboard to-go containers. There's plenty of seating in this eatery corner. Based on previous reviews, I was worried that the serving size would be skimpy, but I actually think it's a fair portion - if you were to dump the box onto a plate, it would be consistent with a regular restaurant serving (the to-go box just makes it seem more compacted). I enjoyed my white truffle pasta and would be satisfied ordering it again and again. They also top it off with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese - and cheese makes everything better :). Even though it's a fast casual place, I do think the staff could be more engaging. As a first-timer, more signage of "order here" or even just willingness by staff behind the register to orient you to the concept would've been welcomed. They had a nice display of desserts in their glass case, including cannolis and tiramisu. I'll have to try them next time, because there will be a next time -- I'll be back ;). Note: They tack on a 3% processing fee to your check.

    Arrabbiata on radiatori with meatballs
    Justine T.

    Pasta was cooked perfectly, and the radiatori was a fun shape, but the arrabiata sauce was sooooo sour! It needed some sugar to balance out the acidity and give it more depth since it was one-note. I got meatballs for my topping and it wasn't great, either - the texture and flavor were akin to frozen meatballs. The service was alright, but the meal was overpriced - I won't be returning.

    Thanks to Instagram for showcasing this place! And IG did not disappoint! This is located in Tysons II Food Court area so there is a lot of seating if you come with a big group or your family. Service was very friendly and patient with the questions we had. So you can build your own or order the menu they have. I got the Pesto. I love how the noodles were firm but yet still soft! Don't know too much about pasta, but this hit different. Would highly recommend trying this spot if you haven't done so already.

    Trendy D.

    Okay so this spot was actually pleasantly surprising! I didn't think it would be all that but for fast casual pasta it taste amazingggg!!! It was so good I came here twice back to back You can taste the quality of the pasta. I ordered the truffle white pasta and added chicken to it. It was very delicious. I'll be back again to try something else. The service was quick and easy, but there's not much service required to order here. There's plenty of seats and it's located inside the food court of the Tysons Galleria mall.

    Fresh pasta
    tony P.

    Great concept, reminded me of Vappiano's from years back. They're located in the food court of Tyson's Galleria next to Andy's Pizza. You get your choice of 5 fresh pastas, then you pick your sauce and add a protein if you like. The staff are very friendly and the wait time is minimal ( due to the pasta being fresh). They serve the pasta in Chinese style boxes, and they're filled pretty well. I ordered the Rustica, a chef specialty casarece pasta with fresh mozzarella and arrabbiata sauce, it was amazing the pasta was al dente, and the sauce was just the right amount of spiciness. I ordered the cannoli dessert, they were delicious also. I recommend trying scolapasta, if you're looking for quality pasta at an affordable price

    White Truffle pasta
    Tiffany T.

    Came for Tuesday lunch so service was extremely quick! It's a great grab and go spot since the pasta comes packed in a box already. (Although having a to-go aesthetic at a bougie mall is a bit odd) The staff was super nice - I asked for a creamy pasta recommendation and was debating between the white truffle vs the shrimp scampi and she offered to let me try both sauces to help decide. Ended up getting the white truffle pasta and was not disappointed!

    Lynda D.

    Delicious custom "build your own" pastas that are made quick and fresh. Many have mentioned their to-go style boxes but they are a fast casual type of restaurant so I don't mind them. The star here are their types of pasta noodles that are prepared fresh. My favorite is the radiatori for texture. Price can add up depending on what you get but you get a lot of pasta and they are generous with the protein. Not sure about other proteins but I chose chicken and got a lot of it! If you get bolognese sauce you don't really have to add a protein because it already has halal ground beef in it.

    Fresh handmade pasta
    Aarti B.

    Delicious fresh pasta made to order, the mushroom truffle pasta is divine! The food is carried out in a Chinese like to-go box similar to Honeygrow. There's no for here option to get the pasta on a plate! It's a bummer! Thee are 5 types of fresh pastas to order from ranging on the length and thickness from thin long noodles like spaghetti and tagliatelle to thicker smaller pastas like radiatore and casaprese and hollow pasta like rigatoni. There are 8 sauces to choose from pesto, creamy white sauces, and a few types of red tomato sauces with meat, herbs, and spices. You can add chicken and cheese on top as an upcharge. I enjoyed the twisty noodle Casaprese in the creamy white truffle sauce! The thicker noodle pasta was al dente and paired really well and absorbed the sauce, the mushrooms were on point. The sauce is a bit oily as there was a small pool of oil at the bottom. My kids enjoyed the thick Radiatore with Pesto sauce that had tiny granular chunks of pine nuts mixed in (my kids didn't even notice them!). While the pasta was tasty, I preferred the creamy white sauce. I wish there were some more options to add veggies and also to feature gnocchi or a ravioli. Great pasta place and look forward to coming back for the creamy white truffle sauce and trying out more pasta and sauce combinations!

Growing up Italian stateside, I never knew about this light, wavy pasta dish. So pappardelle pasta is like some rare delicacy and I love it. This pasta dish is not easy to find unless it has been popularized in the Italian dining scene, recently. How can I explain this pasta? Papardelle are not thick like butter noodles, but instead they are thin yet wide. And at Dal Grano's, they must be experienced to be savoured. Do call ahead, because they might just have them made. Dal Grano's is a neighborhood place. We love how when you are dining, they actually talk to you and are friendly. There are a few other places around Mclean proper which I wish were more overtly warm and hospitable, in this way. All of Dal Grano's pasta is homemade and delicious. It's definitely great for carryout pasta or a diner-style environment with a homemade pasta lunch or dinner. I don't think they deliver or work with any of the delivery services. You just call and pickup. The butternut squash ravioli is tender and flavorful. We have probably have gotten different versions of their ravioli every time. Outside of the papardelle, I'm all in for their rich squid ink pasta when it's made. I don't go there enough to know if it's always available. They have over 50 homemade pasta combinations to choose from and a big freezer case of food to take home. My biggest issue with Dal Grano's is when I see all of the pastas in the serving bowls presented to order and cook, I want to buy them all at once. I know it sounds tacky, but they make me yearn for a pasta buffet there just so that I can taste all of the variations. Alas, if we were in town more we'd just need to go more often to taste all of their selection. There's only one other restaurant that does Italian this well and it's around 15 minutes away in Falls Church. But even that fabulous Italian restaurant does not compare with the amount and selection of homemade pastas at Dal Grano's.

The lightly pan-seared crab is finished in a buttery lemon and white wine sauce that is rich, vibrant, and indulgent. The sauce delivers plenty of citrusy brightness and savory depth, making it a perfect match for the linguine, which soaks up every drop. While the dish is delicious and well executed, both the sauce and seasoning lean slightly on the salty side, occasionally overshadowing the crab's naturally sweet, delicate flavor. Having sampled soft-shell crab prepared in Japanese, American, and Italian styles throughout this season, this Francese rendition ranks among the more flavorful interpretations. Still, Japanese-style preparations remain the benchmark, allowing the crab's freshness and subtle sweetness to take center stage with greater elegance and restraint.

This was due to the landlord telling her she had two weeks to close her place, as he intended to put a car wash in its spot. I kept an eye on this story. That's how I discovered that Maria Esposito ended up working at her cousin's restaurant, The Italian Oven. Thus, the place had been on my radar, and finally, we got there. We were here on a Saturday for an early dinner. The place was almost empty at the time, so we were told to pick whichever table we wanted. We chose a booth that was by a window. The place does have an Italian restaurant ambiance, complete with checkered green and white tablecloths. Our server was prompt in getting to us. We gave him our drink orders. I had water while my husband had a Heineken Zero. At that time, we placed our appetizer order, which was fried zucchini. Their menu is overwhelming. It was tough trying to figure out what to try. Finally, I decided to try their spaghetti aglio e olio, and my husband had spaghetti with Italian sausage. We both chose to have side salads. The salads had a nice creamy, garlicky dressing. However, they also had an overabundance of button mushrooms, as well as pickled beets. I'm no fan of either of these items, so my husband gladly took them from my salad. As for the zucchini, we got spoiled after all those years of having it at Esposito's. The Italian Oven's version was a close second to Esposito's. My spaghetti aglio e olio was well seasoned. It contained plenty of sautéed garlic, just enough olive oil, and a sprinkle of black pepper. The spaghetti was cooked al dente. My husband liked his dish.

I was happy with size of my thin crust pizza and it was way more than I could eat.

I'm still ponedering whether I am a fan of this. My friend had the Marguerite pizza and she was extremely satisfied with it. As to the place itself, it's nothing fancy, it's just your typical pizza place in a strip mall. It's just ok. One thing I noticed about it is the dim lighting, but to be fair it's a normal complaint for most eating establishments. We all had to break out our IPhone flashlights to read the menu. I wish most eateries would have a dimmer switch by your table so that when you are ordering, there is sufficient lighting as you read the menu and when done can be adjusted to mood lighting. I noticed most of the upper forties and up patrons did the same thing as us when ordering.

Our server's demeanor was lukewarm to say the least. Server said no right away to our requests, until she asked the kitchen, who accommodated (ie GF option and side of squid ink pasta). Perhaps she could have said "let me check" before saying "no" right off the bat, before checking with the kitchen or manager! Just sayin'.... She also started killing flies with the zapper at the bar while there were customers at the restaurant. The bar had glasses and plates set up so it was a little discomforting. Where did the dead flies drop into??? And really, who wants to see that?? After dinner, she dropped off the little handheld payment thingie and never came back. Again, the food was excellent and I may return for that alone. But now I know what to expect (or rather, not expect) for service!

    Sergio and his team deliver an awesome dining experience starting when you enter and then every…read morestep of the way until you are ready to leave. Fine dining at its best in Vienna. Sergio knows what to do. He makes drinks behind the bar, selects tables for guests, debones the dover sole like the exquisite chef he is. And he looks after everyone. Very importantly, Sergio manages his staff like a conductor who leads an exquisite symphony. He trained them. More importantly, he retains them over the years to enjoy working for Sergio and his guests. The menu choices are overwhelming. Favorites are always included on the regular menus. Daily specials are my choice each and every time! The people of Vienna and NoVA are extremely fortunate to have the choice to dine with Sergio at Bonaroti's.

    3.7 stars! Tried this after a friend recommended it. This place has such an old school vibe but…read morestill felt like fine dining. The owner greeted us and even checked up on us a few times. He seemed to know a lot of the customers which makes it feel homey. They gave complimentary bread which came with butter, olive oil, balsamic, and other fixings. The bread was super soft on the inside and had a nice crunch from the exterior. My boyfriend and I ordered the calamari, scaloppini mare terra, fettuccini con funghi, and fettuccini al frutti di mare. In simple terms: calamari, a seafood vodka pasta, fettuccini alfredo w mushroom, and veal with lobster bits served with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Surprisingly, I didn't love the calamari. It had a good size but lacked flavor. It also could have been cooked a tad bit more for better color and texture. The fettuccini alfredo was super creamy and had such a strong mushroom taste! The veal was nice but a bit chewy for my liking. The scalloped potatoes were good but nothing special. However the star of the show was the seafood vodka pasta! It had such an amazing vodka flavor with loads of seafood! I have to admit, they put way too many calamari pieces and not enough of the other items mentioned in the dish. Another thing was that I found a strand of hair on my plate. When I notified the server, he said it was just from the green beans but would exchange it for me. Later, he explained that the "hair" was green bean skin.. which was odd to me considering the hair was turning black to white. I didn't appreciate him trying to make an excuse. I decided to look past it even though the server didn't apologize. Good first experience (other than the piece of hair). The seafood vodka pasta is def a must-have. The vibes are great and the owner makes you feel like family.
