- KKristinWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is a delightful small restaurant specializing in northern Italian cuisine. It is welcoming with murals on the walls, tables with linens and sparkling glasses. Food service was very good and the food was delicious. Restaurant Week made it a bargain, too. Parking garage is about two blocks away. We were there for an early dinner so it was not crowded and noise level low; I imagine it can be noisey when the restaurant is full. Definitely a restaurant to return to!More infoBellissimo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Fairfax•4.5

- SSairaSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoOverall, the service and ambience as well as the food were very good. I’ve never had a bad meal there. My only complaint was that their barista was out, and they brought me a Turkish coffee with all the sediments, and I had to return it. Also, the waiter brought me the check without me requesting for it, while we were still eating our desert and coffee. Other than that, everything was good. The portions are getting a little smaller, and the price is a little high, but the location and the ambience make up for it. It is definitely a good place to try if you like Lebanese food. We order several appetizers, hot and cold, Lebne, Kibeh, hummus, Tabouleh, Falafel, Spinach pie, stuffed grape leaves etc.. all of them were very good, the only one we weren’t thrilled about was the hummus, was lacking flavor. Other than that, everything was delicious. I’m already a regular & will return again 🙂More infoSerayPrice: Expensive• Lebanese• Vienna•4.7
- TTonyWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 14, 2025Service was great. BBQ Meats were very good. Sides were plentiful. Seems like a typical Korean BBQ, only a tad better. Location isn't great with the 7/11 and other stores right next door.More infoMeokja MeokjaPrice: Moderate• Korean• Fairfax•4.9
