The hustle and bustle of this Northern Virginia city can be daunting at times, but that only means it’s time to set aside an evening to dine and relax in one of the many great restaurants here in Fairfax, VA. Plan a date night or a good time with friends at one of the following Italian restaurants.
Pizzeria Da Marco
The brick walls and romantic terrace provide the backdrop of this fine establishment. For an appetizer, start with an order of the anchovy bruschetta, Marco’s Balls, or the Olive Ripiene. For your main course, we suggest the Affettati Misti, the Sicilian Caponata, or the Tuscan Crostini. If you’re in the mood for pizza, try one of the Neopolitan favorites, like the burrata con pesto, the capriccioso, or the primavera. This restaurant is located at 8008 Woodmont Ave.
The Espositos Restaurant
When the weather is nice, you simply have to dine outside on the deck, which overlooks the water. This place is worth the visit for this alone, in our opinion. Add to that the excellent food and service, and you’ll think you’re in heaven. They serve traditional dishes, such as pasta, pizza, and salads. Try the gnocchi al pesto Genovese, the melenzane parmigiana, or the capricciosa pizza. Finish your meal with tiramisu for dessert. They are located at 9917 Fairfax Blvd.
Havabite Eatery
Family-owned and operated for nearly 45 years, this establishment serves both Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. This is also a great choice for vegetarians and vegans as they offer a host of options. Start with the roasted eggplant dip with pita bread or mozzarella sticks. For an entree, we suggest the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti, the baked meat lasagna with mozzarella cheese, or a garlic white pizza. Find this restaurant at 10416 Main St.
Cantina D’Italia
For fine dining at its best, visit Cantina D’Italia, which only uses the freshest ingredients for its fine cuisine. Sip on a glass of red wine or a cocktail and enjoy the gamberoni caprese appetizer while looking over the menu. Then enjoy a plate of the Linguine Aglio e Olio, the chicken brunello, the veal brunello, the braised lamb, or the salmon alforno. Find them at 13015 Fair Lakes Shopping Center. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, and do not drink and drive.
