The Italian Place - Fairfax

Won’t be back. My girlfriend went and grabbed lunch today and they charged $3 for a coke, which is fine, she then proceeded to ask for a paper cup to add ice and pour her coke into the cup they charged said “it’ll cost you and additional dollar” like are you kidding me? After spending $3 for a 12oz coke being charged for a cup is ridiculous.

I rushed in when the kitchen was already closed and even the lights were off. They still managed to make me a pizza and start all over in the kitchen..The pizza was super good and the hospitality and kindness of the staff is something I will always appreciate!!!!

Horrible food!! Ordered delivery and the pizza was pale and barely baked. The pasta consisted of VERY overcooked penne, flavorless marinara (also wrong since I asked for marinara and Alfredo together) and rubbery meatballs. I legitimately could've had a better meal by boiling my own pasta, using bottled sauce and frozen meatballs. It's really that bad.

The food was good (pasta and sub). The staff very friendly. They had sandwich and wine tasting while we were waiting for our take out lunch. We will be back!

This iteration of the Italian Place is a far cry from the one in Old Town Alexandria. The food is good. The atmosphere is... meh. The service is infuriating. Why can't I just tell the cashier my order instead of doing their work at a kiosk? How can you claim to take cash, but not have change in your registers? Ridiculous!
