This is a great find. The owner and chef is very experienced with lots of restaurants throughout DMV
Mostly Italian dishes and try the chicken piccata! The burria tacos were some of the best we have had.
Will definitely come back!!

I had been wanting to stop by this relatively new restaurant for a while and today I had the opportunity to come here for an early lunch. My first impressions were all very good! The restaurant was very clean and the inside renovation, from the previous restaurant in this location, was very nicely done. I was greeted nicely by the owner and selected a booth for my seating.

The menu is good with plenty of wonderful choices for everyone. I ordered a ribeye steak and cheese and fries with an unsweetened ice tea. The steak and cheese was very good with a nice amount of both steak and cheese. I also liked the seasoned fries. The owner did a good job of keeping my iced tea filled.

This new restaurant is a great addition to the shopping center and I urge you to give it a try when you're in the area! I'm certainly looking forward to returning again to try a few more items in the menu.

Sooo good, I am so happy I stopped in today! I had the chicken parm with their garlic bread and salad. It was delicious! They were giving free dessert with an entree as a special. I got the brownie with some strawberry sobert on top. It was amazing, I can't wait to bring my husband. Everything tasted fresh. The crunch on the parm magnificent.

The pizza is fantastic. The dough has the right crunch and flavor, the toppings don't overwhelm the pizza crust. The owner is very friendly, and visited with each table. What a nice addition to the neighborhood restaurant scene

Wow!!! What a nice surprise!!! So you park and the entrance is a bit tacky, overly modest & unassuming. Shrug shoulders, enter with low expectations, & Inside it's FANTASTIC! The food is very tasty, the service is excellent and at lunchtime empty. Go and try the delicious handmade pizza with a light sumptuous crust, the tasty house salad, the plentiful beverages - & upscale dishes too, a nice menu selection & affordable. I am IN! Definitely will return!!! To the owner(s), fix up the cluttered outside a bit - 2 potted plants, a chalkboard signboard - & draw folks in!!!

The pizza I had eaten was so good it topped all the other pizza I have ever had! I probably won't eat pizza again until I visit this place again! Excellent

This is a very young restaurant, however, the food was amazing with tons of bursting flavors. Our Server was Paula and she was amazing! One of the owners Jorge came to our table to check on us to see how everything was. It was very nice. He is also the chef. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I had the chicken Parmesan. It was not frozen, but fresh chicken prepared for this dish. Others of the table had shrimp Alfredo, which was also amazing nice creamy sauce not too greasy with just the right amount of garlic and seasonings pasta done to perfection.. dessert we had tiramisu and the cheesecake both made in House and Amazin definitely will be there again and suggest you try and support local business.

Great quality food from this small unassuming strip mall location. Service was great, owner and chef visiting the patrons for feedback... Lastly, finding value for money nowadays is getting harder and harder, this place delivers. I wish I lived closer as this stop would be in my regular rotation..... Well done IL Faro!
