The Italian Cafe - Falls Church

Great homey feel Italian Cafe, the service was fast and excellent. The waiter (dont remember his name, but he is from Nepal) was wonderful and very polite. The owner was friendly and polite as well and the atmosphere was relaxing with great jazz music in the background. Their food was good, good proportion for the price.

Does this place have great food, yes. Does this place have great atmosphere, yes. Its more than that, this place is about family. It is about legacy and they will bend over backwards to make you feel like you're part of the family. It is a wonderful type of place you don't see anymore. As long as it's around my family will be going there.

Got the veal parm and the Veal was a little tough. Service was great, good size portions, but didn't think it was worth $19. The cannoli was fantastic!

Service and Food Quality Outstanding. My wife and I were at this restaurant for a late week day lunch where our Groupon was graciously accepted. This restaurant has been known for its seafood and veal dishes for years so that is what we ordered. Found that the Osso Buco was only served on Sunday so I ordered Calamari and Mussels over linguini in a fabulous red sauce (you could also get a white sauce). The mussels ring the linguine and miniature calamari were mixed in with the sauce. Both sea foods were oh so fresh and the broth was oh so rich. A delicious treat. My wife ordered Vitello (veal) alla Piccata which was superb even though the vegetables were steamed from frozen. As an appetizer we had fried Calamari that was delicately prepared but the dipping tomato based sauce was only average. Our diner salads were topped with the house dressing which really provided a pleasant zing to them. The bread was served with butter and was a little dry on the outside but I guess that is what you get when you arrive late into the lunch time. Dinner was a little pricey but the lunch menu (see attached menu) was more reasonable. When we are in the mood for Italian, we will be back.

Ask for Spencer as a waiter!!! Best Italian food around.
