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
Bettye D.

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!

The food is divine - house made pastas, fluffy pizzas, simple yet sophisticated salads (strawberry arugula with the straciatella is chef's kiss). This place is no secret. I highly recommend getting a reservation. Don't be deterred if OpenTable doesn't have availability. If you call and are kind to the host staff, I have found that they can sometimes squeeze you in. The downstairs is loud and vibrant, while the upstairs is a bit sexier with velvet drapes, paintings, and dim lighting.

After playing pickleball with a friend, we came down to the waterfront (as I have not been here in ages) and my friend chose this place for us to have lunch. We showed up before noon and at around 11:30am, the place was mobbed with people on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. But, we were lucky to get a table outside. The weather could not have been nicer and my preferred dining is al fresco so I was happy. I am refraining from alcohol, so just had a Diet Coke for my drink. We ordered a giant meatball and a sausage pizza to share. The pizza was pretty good but its pretty small, in a square shape. The meatball was ginormous, however, the taste was so-so. Ive had better but this one was not bad. Great spot to grab lunch, lots of people watching for sure. I'd prefer to be out on the water to dine but this was super nice too. I'd come back again when in town and check out other items on their menu. The place gets 3 stars for food, and 4 for location.

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 issue for this place was the service. Some of my friends who were sharing received their eggplant Parmesan quickly but then none of our food came out and they already finished their meal and we still didn't receive our food. There was little to no apology and we weren't even offered any extra bread even to compensate us. They did have a large party and places are understaffed, but we could have been checked up on, even for a minute. Overall, I'd come back for happy hour, but not for dinner.
