Jon & Vinny's Fairfax

"Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo opened the original location of this easygoing Italian-American café in 2015, and it’s been busy-busy ever since. The slender room is soaked in sun thanks to the skylights and features a long counter that stretches the length of the open kitchen. The team works the wood-fired grill and blazing oven with ease, the servers are on point, and even after all these years, the food is as charming as ever. There are plenty of pizzas, all of them with lightly charred edges and topped with everything from smoked ham to vodka sauce. But don’t slouch on the rest of the menu, like the refreshing salads packed with veggies or the superb, house-made pastas. Spaghetti limone with breadcrumbs is a recent highlight." - Michelin Inspector
