- NNoraWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 13, 2025Landini Bros. is one of our favorite restaurants. We made reservations to celebrate our anniversary, and the service could not have been better. The food was, as usual, scrumptious! All, in all, it was a delightful evening!More infoLandini BrothersPrice: Expensive• Italian• Alexandria•4.7
- RRayWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 10, 2025We had such a nice dinner here. I want to preface this by saying me and my date had worked in the service industry for years and were very impressed by the service. It all started at the front desk, we were greeted by the host and the manager sat us. She got us water and gave us some beer and cocktail recommendations (it’s always a good sign to see a manager who knows what their selling) I ordered the bourbon bruze and my date had the lemon basil martini, both amazing, not too sweet. Our server was also great, she was so friendly and very present but didn’t hover or make us feel rushed. The food was decent, nice portions and overall good flavor, but it’s definitely a place where you come back for the vibe. We’ve been traveling a lot recently and we’ve been to a lot of restaurants and it was refreshing to be in a place with friendly staff that are happy to be there.More infoJoe Theismann's RestaurantPrice: Moderate• American• Alexandria•4.6
- GGailVIPNew York City •89 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 14, 2025This restaurant was in a building next to our hotel in Arlington, so easy to walk to. The ratings on Open Table were better than on Yelp and I think this is because Open Table is more of the dinner crowd vs lunch or breakfast. I am responding for dinner - delicious. Good pasta, pizza (aka flatbread on this menu) and wine. Fun lighting throughout the restaurant, great bar.More infoSocci at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View HotelPrice: Expensive• Italian• Arlington•4.3
