It was a nice little Italian place. I got the lasagna which was really good. It came with a white sauce which was different from the red sauce I’m used too but very good. One of my guest eats gluten free and they had gluten free pasta. She ended up getting risotto which she really liked. Our waitress was new and didn’t know the menu well but was very friendly. Any question she couldn’t answer she went to others to get the answer. I would definitely eat here again.

Veal Marsala was excellent. The carbonara was soupy. The Seafood mix was delicious, a little too salty. My son was excited to order Peroni and they are out. How does an Italian restaurant not have Peroni on a Friday night, start of weekend? The ambiance is ok. I made reservation but I realized it was not needed. Not many diners on Friday night.

Most of the dishes we ordered were very tasty- Veal Masala, pasta bolognese but the spaghetti carbonara was not. It had cream which was a bit odd and was way too heavy.

They had a group of 24 that consumed their wait staff and produced a lot of noise. It showed in our marginal service. This is the second time visiting them after returning to Del Ray and both times we have been underwhelmed by the service and food for the price. We really like them in the original instance.

A hidden gem in the Delray neighborhood of Alexandria Virginia. Our Fourth time dining here in the past three months. Some of the best Italian food to be found in the DC area. Beware that it has been discovered by the neighborhood. Reservations usually a must on weekend evenings. Food is delicious, service is good, the dining room is small but comfortable and quite enough to have a nice conversation. Call me caveat is that it is a bit I l pricey, pbut worth it for the meal.
