Classic breakfast food with a simple menu. Came out within ten minutes of ordering with a solid presentation. A convenient and delicious way to start the morning before flying out of DCA. Located in the lobby of a hotel, the atmosphere was modern and cozy.

Rocky was great, we are here for a conference and moved over to the bar after dinner and he took great care of us, we'll definitely be back!

The linguini wasn't bad but I wasn't happy that for over $20 I only received 2 shrimp in this dish that I cut into small pieces.

This is a restaurant and bar located inside the Renaissance hotel. I stopped by for a quick drink and to grab a meal to go. Service was quick and there was a calm chill vibe since it wasn't very busy.

Meh. Nathaly was great. Food was mediocre connected to a hotel. Octopus cut thick and very chewy, chickpeas weren't cooked all the way so some pieces were a tough bite. Alfredo sub penne add broccolini. Run of the mill Alfredo sauce. Fruit fly galore. No gloves when handling food?

Inside Socci Urban Italian Kitchen + Bar
Olga M.

First time at Socci Urban Italian Kitchen + Bar located inside the Marriott Renaissance in Arlington, VA. We stopped at location after it started raining. We tried the following menu items: -Penne Bolognese (4/5). -Spaghetti Carbonara (4/5). -Gala Apple and Gorgonzola salad (4.5/5). -Happy Hour chicken wings. The wings were crispy and a bit spicy (4.5/5). -House Bread Pudding dessert (4/5). -Strawberry shortcake. I don't recommend this dessert it tasted like store bought (3/5). It's a lovely restaurant with great service. I would come back for the happy hour specials and try their steak's next time! Happy Yelping :)

I ordered my food to go but while waiting, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the place is. It seems like such a nice spot to meet up with friends or just sit at the bar and unwind.

Meatballs! Delicious!
Vivian R.

I ordered the burrata and it did not disappoint. There is only one burrata I have had that was better than this one and it is in CT. The bed of tomatoes and stuff it sits in is so savory, the bread not too hard where you have crumbs all over the place but also not too soft! Love love! It's a hotel bar/restaurant, the servers were nice and offered suggestions not just to me but people around me when they were deciding between things. I also want to note that I love they have and offer "half portions" of some their entrees for half the cost. Honestly perfect for a hotel guest. Oh the meatballs!!!! Absolutely delicious!!!! Must have! I can't speak to the other dishes but the burrata plus meatballs paired perfectly. My burrata came with bread which was also delicious with meatball sauce. 5 stars for food and quick service at bar on a Tuesday and their recommendations did not disappoint.

Strawberry Shortcake
Rachel H.

Socci was located within my hotel, so it was the natural choice for a late night dinner. There are not many dinner spots within walking distance. I came down in a tshirt and shorts and this was definitely considered underdressed by the staff. They seated me on the outskirts of the dining area at a low-top table. The table was quite uncomfortable as your knees did not go under the table top and instead sat level. I had the Gala Apple and Gorgonzola Salad ($14) with added Chicken ($8) and the Strawberry Shortcake ($9). All of the food was quite good, especially the Strawberry Shortcake. Servings were just right (though the Shortcake is probably intended to be shared by two or three). That said, the treatment of the staff who took my order and rushed me to be done, the terrible prices on the rest of the menu (crab cakes were listed at $52 which feels like highway robbery when compared to my salad), and the small size of other, more expensive dishes I watched walk past me left me with a bit of a sour taste.

Birthday Cake
Cheyenne M.

Subpar Italian fare nestled in a hotel... with mood lighting. Extremely overpriced food and drinks... 5 people and the bill was $400 for pasta dishes. However, they did accommodate us by reserving a large enough table & providing an entire birthday cake for my fiance's birthday! The cake was moist & delicious- and in my opinion - fairly priced at $36. All staff we encountered were extremely informative and friendly!

Generally speaking Italian food is not my go to but I must say I am glad I came here. The food was really good and the waitress was very attentive. I really enjoyed the decor and the ambiance while I was here. I definitely would recommend especially if you enjoy Italian food.

This is the drink they brought me with a hair in it.
Don S.

I ate here twice on a recent stay . First night was spaghetti with meat balls and it was fair at best . Dry and overcooked. I came back a second time and had crab cakes and a drink but it had a hair in the drink. The crab cakes were delicious. Rather than give me a whole new drink they only replaced the portion that was remaining which I thought was a bit tacky after finding the large hair in my first one.

Fruit cocktail
Rohit G.

Visited SOCCi twice during my stay in the area, once at the bar and once for dinner. The restaurant was not packed, so we were seated immediately both times. ATMOSPHERE: Mix between a hip dive bar and a classy restaurant, not landing exactly either of the two. They have these changing overhead lights that felt distracting during dinner and really more appropriate for the bar alone. Also, I didn't see any restaurant parking, and the parking at the hotel is incredibly expensive. FOOD/DRINKS: I ordered the Linguini Carbonara. The pasta was pretty good. The sauce tased like a hybrid between garlic alfredo and a true carbonara, but still tasted flavorful and rich. I thought I wouldn't like large pieces of bacon in the pasta, but they were soft and not chewy. The drinks were a let down. I got an old fashioned and a "Blood of the Moon" (fruit cocktail) and both were just "meh." PRICE/VALUE: They have a small side plate size and an entree size of each plate. The small size plates my friends got were small and are overpriced in my opinion. The entree plates were more reasonable in proportions. Their drinks are a bit pricy in my opinion and don't deliver for how much they cost. SERVICE: Everyone was kind here. The bartenders and servers were attentive and it didn't take long to put in an order and get our food/drinks. Overall, you are likely headed to this place since it's close to where you are staying, and while convenient, there may be better options in the area. I didn't have the best experience here, but it got the job done when I was hungry while staying nearby.

We had the pleasure of being served by Cody who really knew the menu in and out and was really helpful in making our dining experience outstanding.

They serve a plate table-side with a naked crispy chicken cutlet and your pasta and then they pour à la vodka sauce with melted cheese over the chicken. It's really a terrific presentation and the dish is nicely presented. The chicken cutlet was thick and juicy, the crust was crispy and the sauce was thick and delicious.

The night of our dinner reservation, we asked if there was any way we could shift our reservation up (most of us were super hungry after just doing a yoga class), and they were able to accommodate us! Once we arrived, our server attended to our group with grace and warmth. My friends enjoyed their food, from the pizza to the chicken parmesan to the pasta. I usually eat chicken Alfredo, but tried the shrimp Alfredo and it was delicious! Toward the end of the meal, I was able to choose a complimentary dessert, and went for my server's recommendation, the pistachio cake. As the meal wrapped up, we were stunned when the lights went out (a few of us thought the power went out). However, it was a dramatic transition into me being surprised with cake and song! The cake was layered beautifully, fragrant and fluffy, and not too sweet. I passed it down the table for each of my friends to try, and they all offered words of praise. I'm looking forward to returning when I'm craving traditional Italian food again! Thank you for helping to create a special memory.

A Modo Mio offers many food specials. For example, on Tuesdays, that's when we stopped there for…read moredinner, all their pasta dishes are 1/2 price. However, given that they ranked 32nd among this country's top 50 Pizza restaurants, I had to order a pizza. And I'll get to my pizza after I discuss some other things, because it all plays together. Also, during my visit, I kept drawing comparisons between this place and Pupatella, a local Neapolitan pizza juggernaut. The Big Question to answer is why A Modo Mio got a spot on the Top 50 while Pupatella didn't even make the cut. Access is easy, and parking is good. There are lots of spaces that wrap around the restaurant. That's in contrast to Pupatell, which has limited parking and where I always wind up using the Safeway lot across the street. The restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. It also has a long, well-stocked bar where you can sit to enjoy a beverage or a meal. Pupatella doesn't have any of that. When you arrive, you're greeted by a host who shows you to your seat. A very short while later, a waiter shows up and does all the things waiters do. At Pupatella, you wait in line to place your order, then find an open table. TLDR: Your dining experience, outside of the food, is much more civilized and relaxing at A Modo Mio. The pie that earned their 32 out of 50 ranking was the Sicilia. But I ordered a 12" Casertana because I'm not crazy about eggplant and like sausage. The pie arrived a short while later, piping hot and loaded with sausage. The taste was sublime and delicious. My only complaint was that the basil was added before baking, and I prefer that herb when it's not reduced to ash. So back to The Big Question, is the A Modo Mio pizza *that* much better than Pupatella that it earned a spot amongst the Top 50 while the other one didn't even make the cut? Frankly, it's not. It is good pizza... possibly great pizza. But that's also true of the other place. What sets A Modo Mio apart from that other place, and the answer to the Big Question, is that the criteria for generating the Top 50 list included more than the pizza. It also took into account: - Hospitality and Service - Ambiance - Beverage Program. Beyond the pizza, A Modo Mio has those things in abundance, while the other place pretty much has none. TLDR: Comparing pizzas side by side, the two places are on par. However, if you take into account the entire dining experience, you will be much happier with your pizza here, as opposed to that other place or most other pizza restaurants in the DMV area.

I had the opportunity to have New Year's Eve dinner here and I was able to score a 7:30 PM…read morereservation using the Rezi app several weeks ago. There's so much parking in this area and they have indoor and outdoor seating. One of the things I really liked is that they seem to have specials three or four days a week if I remember correctly, I think Mondays are half off wine bottles. Tuesdays are 30% off the menu or maybe that was happy hour Monday through Friday and then Wednesdays is half off pizzas and then Thursdays was a sale on cocktails. One of the disappointing things right off the bat was that they took my 7:30 PM reservation and even texted me at 7 PM to make sure I was still coming at 7:30 but nobody ever mentioned that they would close the kitchen promptly at 8 PM, which meant my New Year's Eve dinner was extremely rushed. By 745 I already had to put in my drinks, appetizer, entrées, and desserts. Had I known that they were going to close the kitchen at 8 PM I either would have gone to another place or asked to change my reservation for an earlier time. At 8 PM most of the restaurant was empty, but they still had about four tables, including ours still filled along with two or three folks at the bar. Another thing to note is that they will automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill so please keep that in mind. As far as the food goes, I will say that the pizzas were really good and a small pizza comes with four big slices and a large pizza comes with eight big slices. Personally, I really enjoyed the dough and it was very flavorful, but slightly undercooked. They are known for their Neapolitan style pizzas, and it really shine through. I also got the opportunity to try the lasagna Bolognese, which came sizzling and what seemed to be a mini cast-iron pot. It was evident that this was pre-cooked though and reheated in this pot/pan but what was disappointing was that the bottom layers were sizzling hot but the top layers were room temperature and unfortunately, since the kitchen was closed, I didn't have the opportunity to get that taken care of. I would definitely come back and give them a shot especially because they have weekly deals, but it was truly a disappointment that they took a 730 reservation weeks ago, knowing that they intended on closing at 8 PM. As we were leaving, we got the opportunity to meet one of the restaurant partners and they were so kind; it's evident that this restaurant has regulars and I look forward to my next visit and seeing what it's like when I have more time to eat and enjoy.

When we were finally seated, we told the waitress at the top of the night that we had a gluten intolerance in our group.

We got to send the food back luckily, but by the time it came we were all done eating, and her pasta was undercooked. Additionally, we order two appetizers, they didn't come until significantly after all our entrees. We had to ask multiple times for them to take this off our order, but they refused.
