love the old time atmosphere and the friendly staff
September 9, 2019
Took friends that had never been before and boy, were they impressed! Two of us had trout, one had salmon (the kitchen does a great job on fish) and one ordered steak. Latter was a bit overdone, that’s unusual but there was an event going on so they were temporarily slammed. They would have made another steak or offered free dessert, but we come often so we’re pleased. Pretty quiet so conversation is possible, service with a smile, very reasonable wine prices. One tip: we prefer the minestrone as a starter over the salad, they switch that gladly.
June 4, 2019
Good service as always but in looking back I suggest staying with the classic Italian side of the menu.

Very friendly staff! Excellent service! Food was delicious!
January 23, 2019
Typical Italian entrees prepared solidly and well. We each enjoyed the Minestrone and Clam chowder soups we were served. We also enjoyed the house Chianti wine.
December 30, 2018
Our server was outstanding and the noise level was good. Everyone enjoyed their meal including a 1 1/2 year old and 4 year old. The calamari appetizer was very good. It’s a nice family place that I have no trouble recommending.
October 5, 2018
Long time patrons. Never disappointed with the freshness and quality of the meals.
October 3, 2018
Mussel app. very small but there seems to be a new chef as the Lasagna was much better than in the past
October 1, 2018
I just love the food here and the ambiance of a family owned and operated restaurant for many years.
September 27, 2018
the food was mediocre and it was my daughter's 16th birthday and they asked only her what kind of dessert she would like. Then they sang happy birthday to her. then they charged me for the dessert. that's whack!
September 20, 2018
This is a nice family run restaurant. It is well run and popular neighborhood place. It is great for what it is. It is not fine dining with fantastic service but it is not priced for that audience. Again great for what it is.
September 3, 2018
very good food. Next time will sit where there are not TVs due to the distractio but great evening
August 14, 2018

May 27, 2018

Every one in our group selected a different entre and all were happy with their selection. Many good choices on the menu.
March 5, 2018
Food is excellent. The fish is always fresh and other entrees well prepared. Love the IItalian dishes and desserts. The help is always smiling, corteous, and attentive. It is one our favorite restaurants.
February 12, 2018
Food was mediocre. Their $20+ steak was a lean hamburger. Overall we'll never go back and would NOT recommend it.
February 12, 2018
Always excellent: service and the food and the wine.
February 6, 2018
Excellent service, the veal was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was amazing.

Delicious food! Great service.
September 17, 2017
Food was good to excellent, service was a little inattentive. A Sunday evening with few dinners. Wait staff not busy and spent a little too much time in vacant dining area viewing things on their smartphones.
September 11, 2017
Always good food and service. I like the new menu.
September 5, 2017
Good food, ambiance and service
September 3, 2017
I called earlier in the day for a reservation for 14. Our entire family was visiting, including five children. The Italian Cafe set up a long table in their back banquet room and were all ready for us when we arrived at 5:30 pm. The food and service were wonderful, like they always are. Having the back banquet room all to ourselves allowed us to dine with five small children age 4 down to 3 months old without impacting any other diners.
August 31, 2017
Consistent food quality. Nothing terribly fancy, but fresh pasta and decent sauces.
August 23, 2017
I would rate it 4 or 5 but unfortunately our waitress spilled 2 glasses of wine on one of us. She was devastated and apologized. This happens but it left a bad taste because manager was slow and reluctant to offer any compensation. After asking, he did offer to pay for drycleaning but nothing else.
August 18, 2017
Excellent food and ambiance and service.
July 15, 2017
Place is nice , clean and comfortable. Great place to have a conversation with friend over wine and good food.
July 12, 2017
Servers are gracious and pleasant. Food is always good.
July 10, 2017
some background radio or the like noise but they lowered it upon asking to do so
July 9, 2017
Excellent service; always bringing what was wanted, without hovering.
June 25, 2017
Good food - great waitress!
June 15, 2017
We enjoy this quiet neighborhood cafe - it's one of our go-to places for comfort food and relaxation.
June 5, 2017
good menu that varies. Seafood recipes are very tasty. Osso buco is the best.
May 30, 2017
Wine and food were great. Service was excellent.

One of our party was gluten-free and they were very accommodating. Fast service for a large party.

Our waitress was very personable and explained menu choices enthusiastically.
December 10, 2015
Staff very friendly and food good. Prices are great!
December 7, 2015
There was nothing special about the dining experience. For an Italian meal, the waiter placed parmesan cheese on the dish, rather than leaving the cheese on the table for however much a customer wants to put on the plate. Red pepper seeds must be requested. Most Italian restaurants will have a supply of each of the table for customers to use at their option. The bread was cold / not warm / when placed on the table .. rather bland. The portion of spaghetti was moderate, with only two meatballs provided ... generally three at other restaurants. All in all, it was okay, but nothing that would prompt a return visit.
October 19, 2015
cozy and warm feeling
September 3, 2015
The service was excellent and so was the meal. They are very pleasant about the coupon. Some restaurants are not. Very nice atmosphere, with a low noise level so we could talk to each other without shouting. Loved the place.
July 19, 2015
Our server was attentive and very pleasant.
July 19, 2015
charming server was very helpful!
July 5, 2015
Smiles on every face working here says a lot! It's a neighborhood gem, cozy plus very good food, and they really do go beyond the menu to please ( I often ask if mushroom ravioli is available, though not listed, and almost always they will prepare it for me).
June 28, 2015
The food was delicious! The wait staff was friendly and attentive.
June 20, 2015
Great food, generous portions served in a pleasant atmosphere by courteous staff.

The food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent!
June 8, 2015
I was disappointed in the mozzarella cheese sticks. I was told that they are made in the kitchen, not frozen. but although there were nine sticks, a large portion for the price, they tasted no different than frozen ones with very little cheese for the amount of coating. Other restaurants serve fewer but large chances of cheese that really ooze when I cut into them. The entree and sides were excellent. I always order the spinach and I am never disappointed. The waitress was new and seemed a bit uncomfortable doing her job.
April 12, 2015
good food, salads a little skimpyrefills on drinks had to be requestedserver disappeared midmeal, replacement was fine just odd
January 30, 2015
Cozy place; biggest complaint was the cleaning products they used to clean off the tables. Luckily no table was cleaned during the beginning of my meal, because when they did towards the end, the smell was ridiculously overpowering. It was like I could taste the cleaner in my mouth & it gave my an awful headache. To be fair, I am sensitive to chemicals, but there is no reason to be using such HARSH chemicals around food!!! Ruined the rest of my meal.
January 27, 2015
Veal always looks grey instead of golden brown and what's with the brown gravy on everything....there should be lemon butter sauces with capers or. Masala sauce with lemon.....everything needs more seasoning...but not more salt. Why not use some maitake or reiseke or shiitake mushrooms
January 18, 2015
The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food was much better than expected!
December 31, 2014

Food was just ok and was lukewarm.
October 26, 2014
As always, the Italian Café delivers quality food at an exceptional rate and service is always good.
October 12, 2014
It's a great family oriented affordable restaurant. the servers are not trained to remove extra plates or glasses...in a fine dining restaurant they would have learned this. the food is a little salty. I loved getting bread and salad with your meal.
October 9, 2014
Good food, good service!
September 29, 2014
Food is delicious, nice size portions, great variety, friendly service and nice atmosphere.
September 29, 2014
All meals were enjoyable.Service was very good. Numerous appetizers and entrees on the menu.Prices were quite reasonable.
September 22, 2014
The bread they put on our table was inedible; the challah bread was goey/sticky inside, the other bread, italian, had an off flavor, like soap. Nobody else at the table at it either, interestingly, although I did not give my opinion to the others at the time.I ordered the only pasta dish which was made with fresh pasta, as per the waiter; ravioli stuffed with crab meat(&lobster??)in pesto sauce. It was good, but I received only 4 raviolis. 2 more would have filled me up.The waiter was very good, and attentive.Mediocre food, which was not cheap.
September 22, 2014
Small resturant .probably should have made a reservation like was recommended. Didn't think we needed one on a week night. I would do it in future. Service was a little slow but food was great. The wait staff was very pleasant.
September 16, 2014
Really fine restaraunt with outstanding food and service!

The server got two of the orders incorrect, but made it right.
June 22, 2014
The service is always attentive and accommodating to our needs. The food is always delicious and no one in our group has ever had a bad food experience at this restaurant.
June 16, 2014
This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, the atmosphere friendly and the prices are reasonable.
June 8, 2014
Food is tasty, service was excellent, and it's a nice, low-key family restaurant atmosphere.
May 26, 2014
Great service, delicious food!
May 23, 2014
We have patronized the Italian Cafe for 17 years, so we feel we know the restaurant pretty well. Food was very good, service was bad. Server was young and inexperienced, and it showed. Did not know the difference between Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. Seemed to forget about us for long critical periods, like bringing the correct wine. Did not clear salad plates when he brought the entrees, did not offer cheese on our entrees. Food was delicious. Hope the server stays in school because serving will not be a good career choice for him.
May 19, 2014
mussels were not fresh, portion are small for the prices
April 1, 2014
The food has been better in the past. My veal was tough, and the bread basket seemed to hold day-old bread. Maybe it was just a "bad day."
March 16, 2014
plan on going at least twice a month
March 10, 2014
Nice restaurant, good food, good wine. Portions a little small, especially the pasta. But overall good.
February 24, 2014
The lasagna was luke warm for both me and my wife. We should have sent it back. We eat here from time to time and generally have had good experiences. But not this time.
February 23, 2014
Chicken piccata was good. I was disappointed with the eggplant parmesan which was mediocre with too much cheese and not enough eggplant. It's sauce was not tasty enough to overcome the above flaws.House salad was very good.
February 14, 2014
Lasagna is good
February 7, 2014
This was our first time dining here. Never judge a book by its cover. The inside is warm and inviting. We dined on a Friday night and arrived just before a number of regular couples who have dined here for years. Our server was well trained and the food was tasty and well portioned. There's clearly a reason the Italian Café has been in business for 35+ years. We will definitely be going back for another visit.
January 27, 2014
good service, excellent food.
January 14, 2014
the best italian in northern virginia
January 12, 2014
The rooms are nice. the only problem was we were sat in a booth behind a couple and their young daughter. The family was louder than we would have liked.
January 6, 2014
Always good food and excellent, attentive service. good value for the price.
December 26, 2013
Full menu, with something for everyone. Skip the lobster, but everything else was very good. Good wait staff as well. Friendly, attentive w/good knowledge of menu.
December 26, 2013
The ambiance was good, the food was delicious, the service was great, and our waiter actually said "Merry Christmas" to us when we left instead of the horrible "Happy Holidays!"
November 4, 2013
The service was very friendly from the hostess that greeted us to the bus person that served the water and bread and topped off by the waitress. Everything was tasty, served at the right temperature and presented nicely.
October 17, 2013
The Shrimp Gambretto is fabulous and our favorite, but we enjoy other dishes as well. The seating is comfortable for awhile, but the seats are not padded.
October 7, 2013
The lasagna was wonderful. The garlic bread was so good we got two orders. The salads were so fresh and tasty.
October 1, 2013
Our server, Cathy?, was wonderful. She gave the 3 couples and 1 single separate checks after deducting a $50 Restaurant.com certificate. Great place.
September 29, 2013
It was relaxing, but we didn't hve time for the dessert.
September 26, 2013
Food was delicious and service was excellent.
September 24, 2013
Excellent service and very find food.
September 3, 2013
The entrees were excellent, we each got one of the seafood specials. Everything tasted amazing. My only issue was with the bread. I love going to Italian restaurants and having fresh, warm bread. Bread was cold and at least a few days old.
August 26, 2013
The atmosphere was great. The service was a little bit slow, but the food was excellent. Will come back!
August 19, 2013
friendly, prompt service. good bread and salads too.
August 4, 2013
very good food
August 2, 2013
The calamari appetizer was tough, dark in color(dirty oil?), and unappetizing.Our included salads were not crispy, nor interesting.The salad had "house dressing"; awful; way too much spices.Pork chop "special" was dry, tasteless, and seemed to be prepared many hours, if not days, beforehand. I ate less than half, gave the rest to my dog the next day.Side dishe of mashed sweetpotatoe was too sweet and uninteresting.Saute'd spinach was mushy and had alot of garlic in it, which overpowered the spinach.This restaurant was better four years ago, when I first went there, and has gone downhill since then every year.By the way, it's not cheap; entre's were 17.- 25.00 from the specials menu.Many TV's were playing in the bar dining room, which I hate. ate in the unremarkable other diningroom.Our waiter was a novice...he looked scared and lost.
July 28, 2013
Generous portions of well prepared food.
July 23, 2013
The service was excellent and the menu offered many intersting options.
July 20, 2013
The Server Didn't Really Seem Too Enthusiastic About Our Table And Even Got Annoyed When We Requested To Switch Wines Because It Was Not To Our Liking.
June 30, 2013
The waitress was at our table promptly, she was friendly, and water glasses were constantly filled. The food was good, as usual. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the area.
June 27, 2013
Good - excellent overall.
June 21, 2013
The Italian Cafe is a long-time neighborhood institution. It has lasted so long because the food is excellent and reasonably priced and the service friendly & unpretentious. If you like good home-style Italian food, this is the place to go.
June 21, 2013
Steak was tough, dry, stingy
June 21, 2013
Excellent food and service with nice ambiance.
June 16, 2013
We felt the food came in a timely manner and all the staff was very nice. It was also family friendly.
June 3, 2013
The staff was very nice, attentive and accommodating to our group since not everyone could be seated at the same time. The food was very tasty.
May 29, 2013
The portions were a nice size - not huge! I didn't leave feeling stuffed. The service was good.
May 29, 2013
We enjjoyed
May 26, 2013
Service was good. Restaurant was quiet enough so that I could have conversation. It's good home style cooking. food was hot, and plenty to eat. Wine was affordable and good.
May 22, 2013
Quiet atmosphere and wonderful food and service.
May 19, 2013

April 19, 2013
we had a lovely and charming waitress (is a teacher's aide as well as waitress) and the food was delicious.
April 16, 2013
On a whole the food was great with exception of the pizza I did not like the pizza but will dine there again.
April 8, 2013
Great Food and great service...a cozy atmosphere
April 7, 2013
Food was too salty. I have eaten here before but disappointed this time.
March 4, 2013
Our waiter, Alex, was a delight. He always had a big smile on his face, was very attentive, and made sure that all our needs were met. He made our dining experience a delight!
January 22, 2013
Could have better value with bigger portions: more seafood for the seafood dishes and more pasta. Freshly ground pepper would be a nice addition. Overall good flavored sauces. Pizza was good.
January 17, 2013
very slow service
January 7, 2013
Prices are higher than most Italian restaurants, and the menu never changes. The food is fair enough; however, they don't take credit cards, which is a turnoff for most occasions.
January 7, 2013
Have been enjoying meals at the Italian Cafe for 10+ years; the food is consistently good and the specials are also quite tasty.
November 28, 2012
We used to go regularly for years, then the quality of the food slipped. We heard that things have improved and tried it again. Quality has improved.
November 27, 2012
A good, quaint little restaurant.
November 5, 2012
I just wish it were warmer inside. We sat at a window booth and it was very cold.
October 30, 2012
We really enjoyed our dinner. The staff was very accommodating for our big group. I have already told others about how nice it was.
October 23, 2012
The fish is excellent as is the Italian food. Service is warm and attentive.
August 30, 2012
The staff is not readily available or apologetic about mistakes. My boyfriend was given the wrong entree and had to wait at least 5, if not 10 minutes to report it since no one was there.
August 10, 2012
Great food , great service
August 8, 2012
The service is attentive without being overbearing. Food is excellent. The bread served prior to the meal is a bit lacking - somewhat dry and not as fresh as it could be. Also suggest serving olive oil with the bread along with butter.
July 26, 2012
Food servings are not large, and prices are higher than most Italian restaurants; however, overall its respectable.
July 26, 2012
We have dined at the Italian Cafe since it was at it's previous location. The restaurant is quite good and very consistent.
July 16, 2012
The waitress provided excellent service. The portions are large and the specials were all very good.
July 16, 2012
Food was a little to salty otherwise it was very good.
July 6, 2012
Real kids cups would be nice. And apple juice. I like that a salad came with the meal. The outside patio is beautiful. Love the flowers.
June 27, 2012
Lunch entrees were a little pricey, but it was very delicious. Salmon salad could have had more greens.
June 25, 2012
Good food. Good service.
June 18, 2012
The food does not come out of the kitchen hot. Lukewarm is the best that can be said. The food tastes fair enough, but not hot by any means.
June 17, 2012
We would likely have never tried without coupon. We were very pleased with food, atmosphere and service.
May 21, 2012
The food is excellent!
May 7, 2012
I have been driving past the Italian Cafe for years and have wnated to try it. The coupon spurred me on!
May 7, 2012
Food was good; service mediocre.

Prices are above average for an Italian restaurant; salads with meals are small, and they demand cash.

I understand that it gets busy. That's why having more than one or two servers is an absolute necessity.

Very enjoyable evening...server was very professional and attentive...food was delicious!

I ate at this restaurant about 20 years ago and it was excellent. Wanted to try it again and see if the quality was the same.

Had a great time. Easy, relaxed atmosphere. Waitstaff were accomodating to us.

The food is reasonably good; prices are a bit higher than other Italian restaurants. Some items are a bit expensive. The menu is fairly well set every night. Service is very good, especially earlier in the evening. Table bread is better warm. They are very sparing on the cheese that is placed on pasta dishes.

It is a nice, moderately priced place nearby. The discount coupons allow us to eat out more often.

Good quality and quantity for the price. Attentive and knowledgeable server, the kitchen accommodates vegetarians. Nice list of specials for a Sunday menu--and those we tried were fresh and tasty.

Prices are getting higher at this restaurant. Dinner salads are very small. As an Italian restaurant, it's okay, not great. Some plates are much better than others.

I wish they had a better wine selection for glass only orders.
January 18, 2012
Serving sizes are only moderate...not large by any means. The dinner salads are small. Prices are higher than other Italian restaurants. They require cash only, so beware.

It was a wonderful meal, with great serrvice

Didn't appreciate not being to use credit/debit card to pay for our meal. That would be a reason to NOT dine at Italian Cafe in the future.

The kitchen doesn't know how to cook steaks. An order of medium well was dripping with blood; a "re-do" cooked it to very well done. This caused two people to eat at different times. Training needed. Definitely not a $17 meal.

We were pleasantly surprised by our wonderful dining experience. We went on a tuesday evening and the restaurant was full. We considered this a good sign. I had the pesto pizza which was very good though not "the best" pizza that I have eaten. The spinach was fresh and nicely sauted with garlic. The only thing that I think could be improved is the quality of the bread in the bread basket, not noteworthy. There was no tiramisu, but we chose a sweet almond cream cake which we both liked better than tiramisu. We plan to return. The quality for the price was excellent. Nice atmosphere, easy to have a conversation.

very good service and a wonderful atmosphere
November 17, 2011
Food is generally very tasty, prices are above most Italian restaurants, servings are of moderate size, dinner salad is too small, and credit card was not accepted for payment. The "small stuff" has to be put up with in order to visit this restaurant.
November 9, 2011
The prices are fairly reasonable, the food is fairly good, and the salad with the meal is very small. The waiter will hover and take your payment while you sit at the table...not very courteous.

Calamari were over breaded. The zuppa di pesce red sauce was watery from failure to drain the past sufficiently, many of the muscles were inedible.
October 10, 2011
The food is pretty good, the service even better; however, the dinner salad is a bit small.

Good food, Great service, and reasonable prices. Only downside was daughter said Coca-Cola tasted flat & more like Pepsi.
August 7, 2011
Excellent food. Service could improve.
August 2, 2011
The menu is pretty pricey and the food is simple. While it's not the best Italian location around, the food was good. A minus is that they require cash.
July 19, 2011
The eggplant parm. was mushy and almost tasteless. Definitely order something else. Chicken livers are bland...order something else.

Excellent food and great portions for reasonable prices, friendly service.
