"This Falls Church favorite for Italian pastas (and excellent desserts) expanded with an outpost in Old Town; its cacio e pepe gimlet made an early splash, and the restaurant has a daily aperitivo happy hour." - Tierney Plumb
"Katherine Thompson’s famed olive oil cake helped her earn a 2020 James Beard nomination for outstanding pastry chef; the same slice is still served at her NYC alma mater L’Artusi to this day. Open since 2019, the popular Italian restaurant she runs with her chef-husband Gabe Thompson also sends out a delicious rhubarb tiramisu with marsala sabayon and gingersnap crumbs. The Falls Church original was joined by a newer location in Old Town." - Tierney Plumb
"Apertivo hour at this glossy Italian restaurant born in Falls Church runs until 6 p.m. daily, with $10 cocktails." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
