    Branzino cooked to perfection!
    Jeffrey R.

    Great service, authentic food and a beautiful ambiance. If you like Greek cooking you will love Vaso's. I will be back soon!

    A traditional dessert

    I had a delicious meal today at Vaso's Kitchen. I started with the bruschetta (delicious heavy garlic and delicious basil), then had the crab stuffed flounder which was delicately flavored but also so perfect. I finished with the Galaktoboureko. The whole meal was absolute perfection. The service was also lovely. It was my first time and I will be back.

    Summer special: watermelon salad with chicken, feta, and strawberries
    Melinda T.

    First off, make sure you and your friends align on which Vaso to go to. There's one in old town Alexandria and we're not sure if they're the same ownership. Fortunately, they aren't too far from each other. That said, this Vaso was nice and quaint. There's outdoor seating if that's preferred. They weren't busy and were patient as our party of 4 sorted out the mishaps that had occurred. We never felt rushed. For food, we got a summer special to share and I got the flounder stuffed with spinach and feta. The watermelon salad was very refreshing! It had strawberries, chicken, and feta with a dressing on the side. The flounder was also tasty. Cooked well, and adequately stuffed! The only mediocre tasting thing we got was the complimentary bread basket which was not a big deal. Fast forward to the end of dinner was where the experience started going downhill. We had to leave and catch a show so we asked for separate checks as soon as we were about done eating. The waiter forgot, fine easy fix. Another waitress printed out the full receipt and then got intercepted by our waiter since he recalled we wanted it separated, cool. However, he was taking a long time and we were starting to run behind. I ended up going up to him after ~5 or so minutes to offer one card and we'd Venmo or whatnot after the fact. He was frantic, trying to separate the checks, and made it seem like he was nearly done and putting the check back together was going to be more work. I sat back down and we waited ~5 minutes watching him push the POS screen, print receipts, crumble receipts, and drop the plastic tray. Literally, it was a little painful to watch. When he got all the cards, he ran the 2/3 cards incorrectly. One card has the entire bill charged while the two other cards were also charged. It was a hot mess. Long story short, good food. Don't ask for separate checks. Don't go if you're on a time crunch. It was unfortunate that the experience ended poorly with everyone frustrated because it took over 20 minutes to sort out our check and ultimately made us late to the show. I do think Vaso's is worth trying out though!! Hopefully the tips above make for a more pleasant experiment for future patrons!

    Just had the worst experience. I'm new to the area & came across this place looking for authentic "gyro". My 1st pick up order experience was sublime! And with that I opted to make this place a staple of my dining out. However, today after placing $32 order just for gyro platter, I arrived home with NO OITA. How can you eat gyro w/o oita. I called to inform them of my displeasure & that I'm too far to travel back for the pita & was offered a refund for the price of the pita. I would've easy spent $100 a week here but this left me w/s "bad taste"!!! They don't appreciate patronage!!

They also went viral for their chicken caesar wrap too, and I can attest that it's yummy! I'd ask for extra sauce on the side if possible though, but that's because I'm a caesar lover!

    Rosemarino D'Italia is the rare neighborhood Italian spot that plays it straight -- no gimmicks,…read morejust a kitchen that knows what it's doing and a floor staff that makes you feel like a regular on visit one. You feel it walking in: past a pink-trimmed doorway strung with fabric roses, a small "please wait here to be seated" placard doing its quiet job, and a narrow hallway that opens into a dim, close-quartered dining room with tufted burgundy chairs and a TV keeping half an eye on tennis for the bar crowd. It's an intimate room, pleasant if a touch under-scored -- the ambient music sat low enough that a notch or two more volume would have filled the space better. We started at the bar menu. My Pisco-licious ($16) -- Barsol pisco, mint, blackberry puree, sherry, lemon, and egg white -- arrived under a dense, well-set foam cap with a charred, dehydrated citrus wheel balanced on top. It poured tart-forward, with the blackberry rounding out the back end, and the foam held its structure to the last sip. My friend's cocktail moved just as fast. Bread came warm and unfussy, gone before the entrées landed. For the main course, I went with the Scallops e Funghi ($28): four pan-seared scallops over a creamy saffron arborio risotto with mushrooms, finished under a heavy hand of grated parmesan. The risotto was the real star -- properly cooked, well-seasoned, rich without tipping heavy -- and the scallops, while a shade past their ideal sear, still made for a genuinely good plate. My friend's Spicy Sausage & Leeks ($24) -- fusilli in a creamy parmesan sauce with spicy Italian sausage and sautéed leeks -- brought real heat that never crossed into overwhelming, and the bowl didn't last long. Portions ran generous for the price point, and nothing at the table tasted like it was built to a budget. We both closed with the Spumoni ($10): strawberry, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream dipped whole in a chocolate shell and finished with a white and dark chocolate drizzle. The shell cracked clean on the first bite, kept the ice cream from turning to soup, and tasted enough like a house-made batch that I'd bet on it without confirming. Service is what pulled the night together -- our server was warm without being performative, checked in at the right intervals, and never let the table run empty on water or attention. Rosemarino D'Italia earned every bit of a five-star night: a kitchen showing more technique and ambition than its casual, happy-hour room lets on, a cocktail list worth ordering from twice, and a floor staff that made it effortless. It's not tasting-menu territory, and it doesn't need to be -- it's a neighborhood trattoria doing its job better than most in the category. I'll be back to work through the rest of the pasta list.

The prices are definitely on the higher side, but have you looked at literally anything lately? So I'll allow it. They have this very creative Havana theme that somehow makes me feel like I should be drinking a mojito on vacation, even though I'm actually there with two kids negotiating over cheese pizza. Speaking of the pizza: it's what you should get. I recently ordered the chicken parm, which was good! But the pizza is where it's at. Especially the kids' cheese pizza, which is so good that I consider taking a slice from my children a completely reasonable parenting tax. And the Caesar salad? Weirdly excellent. I order it basically every time. The biggest issue is that Lena's is too family friendly. They are incredibly accommodating to kids, which makes it dangerously easy to keep coming back when I should probably be trying somewhere new. So yes, the service is a little slow, the prices are a little high, and I am apparently incapable of ordering anything besides pizza and Caesar salad. 5 stars. I'll be back.

The Suprema di Pollo con Mozzarella offers pleasant flavors of butter, lemon, and chardonnay, though the chicken veers slightly overcooked. More successful is the Piccatine al Limone, where milk-fed veal is bright and balanced with citrus and wine. A special of linguine with scallops on the shell rounds things out nicely, delivering a satisfying, well-executed finish.
