Best Authentic Restaurants in Rosslyn

Food was so tasty and the ambiance and staff were so professional

Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

Never fails to be a great experience. The only issue we've had in many years of coming back to Zatinya is noise. This time we arrived at 5 PM for a 6 PM reservation and it was quieter than usual. They were simply fantastic, acknowledged our anniversary and made the night special. But all visits to this superb restaurant are special

I visited on a Friday night, when there are live l performances. On this night, there was Flaminco music with a dancer. They were outstanding! A great add on to the ambiance. The restaurant is beautifully decorated to the theme and the service is stellar. Everyone was pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable. There are several intriguing options in each section of their robust (but not overwhelming) menus. I did not need the cocktail or wine menus, but I did glance them over. But all of my attention went to the food menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the calamari appetizer, the eggplant appetizer, a salad and paella. That's enough food for 3 meals (I took much of it to the hotel room). It was all prepared to perfection. I also had to go in on dessert, which was also delicious! I might apply for a job there to justify me spending as much time there as I want to! Excellent overall experience!!!

Very cute little place. I usually head for DC when I want a dinner out, but this was a nice experience with parking on site in the close in suburbs. I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was because the menu was huge and wide ranging. I had the butternut squash ravioli in red pepper sauce and it was excellent. My husband's duck could have been a bit less cooked and cut more evenly, but the flavor was delicious and I would order that if I went back. The sauteed calamari was fresh and the sauce light and flavorful I really judge a restaurant on this dish, because I've had so much rubbery calamari. This was tender and perfectly cooked. Recommend as a great alternative to Ubering into the city if you want a nice dinner in Arlington.
