    Burrata w eggplant and hazelnuts is simply amazing!! Garganelli's Bolognese is best I've tasted and seafood risotto is delicious too. Save room for Italian doughnuts; only tiniest regret no cannoli

    Try the Ossobuco With Garganelli - I'm in heaven.... although there is no carpaccio here!!! The pasta garganelli with almost Bolognese sauce is heavenly!!!

    Great food. Noise level during peak dining times is extremely loud, to the point where conversation without shouting is impossible.

    Charming local away from the bustle of Tyson's Corner, but food consistently over-salted.

    Not what I had expected from an Italian place, there are better ones in the area. The food did not impress me.
