Hands down favorite restaurant in the area. Chicken parm is to die for. The place is legit old Italian -dark and romantic- and the service it's always top notch!!
We haven't been here in over 20 years but I appreciated how this place remained the same. We had thr calamari fritti and linguini alla vongole. The pasta was cooked to perfection (Al dente). They have an extensive wine list too to pair the wonderful food. Service was good.
My husband and I are in Washington DC with friends. We decided to spend the day exploring Alexandria and asked our concierge for a recommendation. He said this is his favorite Italian restaurant in the world! We ordered : Risotto Alla Pescatora - generous portion with a lot of seafood, but this was our least favorite dish. Penne Alla Arrabbiata - our friend said it was excellent with the perfect amount of heat Agnolotti Alla Fiorentina - homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta The special of the day: Linguini with shrimp, clams, and pancetta - this dish was amazing! Truffle French fries - so good!! Service was excellent!
Date night. Boyfriend made the plans. And this might have been his best made reservations yet! It's been a month and I can't stop thinking about this dish. I'm a such seafood fan. I generally like it raw and on some ice in one of those fancy towers if I'm lucky! But the Linguine alle Pescatora? I'm such a fan of mixing it all together with some amazing noodles and a sauce that wasn't too heavy or overpowering, but just enough to coat the mussels and clams and calamari. I couldn't finish it that night and I could not wait until I could have it for leftovers. I'm not as big of a foodie as a lot of other people but this dish made me feel like one. It also made me wonder if this is how they think about every dish they eat??! Besides my amazing dish, my date had the veal which he said was so good. I'm not a veal person so I trust his opinion. We also ordered a bottle of wine and ate every last bit of the fresh, crusty yet chewy bread they brought us. We couldn't possibly have saved room for dessert but there were a lot of tempting options! Our service was fantastic. The space is just lovely and in a great area. I cannot wait to go back!
For $27.95 the Linguine alle Pescatora is LOADED with Maine diver sea scallops, shrimp, baby clams, fresh P.E.I. mussels and squid sautéed in garlic, crushed red pepper and white wine. I finished my pasta and still had so much seafood left. I loved this delectable dish!! My husband had the Tortellini alla Panna ($21.95) which were ring shaped noodles filled with veal, sautéed in a light cream sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. He enjoyed them and ate every bite. The wait staff was responsive and fast. No issues here! Kids friendly. Clean bathroom. And can offer a romantic feel if desired.
