Jon DiMuzio
The “Cafe” is a solid go to in Falls Church. Younes and his staff are always friendly and attentive. I’ve never had a bad meal there. Highly recommended.

CJ
This place is a hidden gem! In area for work, ordered two days in a row. Their spaghetti w/ meatballs was excellent. And surprisingly, the meatballs weren’t mostly breadcrumbs and mushy like most restaurants serve. The marinara sauce was also tasty. Second night, ordered the pizzaz which I enjoyed though I do wish it had a little more pizza sauce. Their house salad dressing is also very good. It seems to me they know their food here and put effort into what they do.

Christian Zazzali
Lovely family style Italian restaurant. There is no effort to create the latest trend in architecture here, just honest service, good food, in a warm, welcoming environment. If I lived here, it would be my local go-to restaurant when I’ve had my fill of pretentious “fast-casual.”

Hector Jeyakaran
We were there for a private event, but had a limited menu available. The pizzas were delicious. The Cafe seems to be a well known neighborhood spot, very traditional, and certainly busy that evening.

Sam Wagner
Second time there. Two of us went. Both meals were delicious. One veal and the other fish. Calamari was meh, but I have had worse. Will be back again soon

Colleen O’Boyle Sullivan
What a gem! We’ve always enjoyed our food and the manager, Younes, goes out of his way to accommodate and make you feel grateful for dining here. Highly recommend.

Kevin Scrimgeour
We got their most popular dishes and had a great fest at home. The food was “bright” and full of flavors.

amani selim
A real gem of a restaurant. Excellent seafood, friendly service, and ample parking. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner.

Edward Stern
Food had no flavor the decor is older than the servers (and the servers aren’t young) and just because you play Frank Sinatra doesn’t mean you’re a real Italian restaurant.

Michelle Ward
Granddaughter’s 6th birthday, great food, been coming for 20 years. Our favorite family restaurant.
