- AAmandaVIPWashington, D.C. Area •33 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood is delicious comfort food like meatballs, cacio e pepe arancini, spicy risotto with Italian sausage, and delicious pizzas. We have never had a dish we didn’t love. The service is always impeccable, friendly and efficient. When we told our server that one of our party had a shellfish allergy, a manager came out and told us which items might be unsafe because they were cooked in the same oil as the calamari. This was such an important thing to do and we’ve never had that happen anywhere else. I highly recommend North Italia!More infoNorth Italia - RestonPrice: Moderate• Italian• Reston•4.7
- RRyanWashington, D.C. Area •23 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch here this week. We took advantage of the Valentine's Day menu which allowed us to try some pisco flights, two apps, an entree, and two desserts. All of them, from the ceviche, to the croquettes, to the lomo saltado were amazing. The service was just as good. We had a great (first) experience and will definitely be back.More infoPisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar - RestonPrice: Moderate• Peruvian• Reston•4.6
- VVictoriaWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI’ve never had a bad experience at Cooper’s Hawk, my husband and I absolutely love it there. The servers are always so knowledgeable about which wines to pair with each dish and we’ve never been disappointed. We always get the Over the Border Eggrolls and it seems like they might’ve changed the recipe on that. They’re still good but a lot cheesier. We celebrated my husband’s birthday last night and they treated us to complimentary chocolate truffles that were delicious! Overall, a great experience with great food and service!More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Reston, VAPrice: Moderate• American• Reston•4.7
