Pizzeria Orso, Falls Church, VA
(See the December 11th, 2010 Review here.) Confession time. It was 7 PM last Sunday night, I was working on almost no sleep, had really never spoken in public before, and hadn’t even started writing my speech to give early … Continue reading

Toscana Green, Courthouse, VA
Never have I been so frustrated with the name of a restaurant than with Toscana Green. Or is it Toscana Grill? After two years, I still don’t know what it’s called, and neither the website nor the restaurant itself is … Continue reading

Ristorante Murali, Pentagon City, VA
When you’re walking around Pentagon Row, the first thing you might say to yourself is, “Jeez, this place looks corporate.” Yet, there are also several restaurants you won’t find anywhere else; yet again, they all have this extremely well-funded, corporate … Continue reading

Heidelberg Pastry Shoppe, Arlington, VA
A good twenty years ago (back when they were still in their old digs), I used to go to Heidelberg Pastry Shoppe all the time for donuts. In the past few years, I’ve been for lunch a couple of times … Continue reading
Pupatella, Arlington, VA
(See January 13, 2011 Review here). There’s really not much more to say about Pupatella whose co-owner, Enzo Algarme, celebrated a birthday early last week. I’ve been there a million times, and have yet to see him not working. On … Continue reading

Lost Dog Cafe, Arlington, VA
This post won’t win me any friends, but here goes anyway. It was the night of the snowstorm, traffic hell. What normally takes 50 minutes, took 4 and 1/2 hours, the last 3 and 1/2 with poor, patient Matt as … Continue reading

District Taco, Arlington, VA
(See December 24, 2010 Review here). Sometimes people assume I’m this little nerdy guy who sits around eating scallop consommé and sipping tea with my pinky extended (although usually people assume the opposite extreme). On Tuesday night, I lived up … Continue reading

The Pure Pasty Co., Vienna, VA
By pure chance, I stumbled upon, and then wrote about, The Pure Pasty Co. on October 8th, 2010 (coincidentally, or perhaps not, this Washington Post piece came out on October 20th., with no citations whatsoever – nothing new there). While … Continue reading
Maple Ave Restaurant, Vienna, VA
Maple Ave Restaurant is extremely important. It fills the proverbial “sweet spot” between everyday casual and fine dining, and pretty much defines what a really good, neighborhood mom-n-pop has the potential to be. My young dining companion enjoyed a Dominion … Continue reading
