As our fave Italian local restaurant, we brought family here, that were in from out of town. The restaurant had broken a/c, but the place was packed as always, and still always the friendly service and excellent dinner! One of my favorite things is I can always get spaghetti squash with meals, and everything is amazing! The menu is huge, something for everyone and so many favorite dishes it's hard to count!!! Greek pasta, all of the Saltimbocca dishes, soups, appetizers! Waiting for fall and their butternut squash soup. which tastes absolutely amazing and like a cheddar broccoli!

My family loves this place. Its one of those places that you LOVE, then eventually forget about and comeback to and rediscover it. The food is excellent. The DC metro area is a hard place to live when it comes to friendliness, and is hard to find a place that you feel truely welcome to come to, and come back to. The food is great, and service has always been consistent, and atmosphere is great here. I'd recommend to any local to come here to get away from the norm of the area.

When we were partners in an Alexandria business, my friend and I routinely staged our office Xmas parties at the Carlyle Grand, which is part of the same chain as Ozzieâs. The formulas are pretty similar, too: excellent, fresh dishes, sumptuous seats and booths, perfect service, and a sort of fashionable airiness to the dining space. We made a meal of appetizers and desserts (loved my fish tacos) and they left us in peace to catch up on he last eight years over two+ hours. We had a great time, and Ozzieâs helped in every way they could.

A friend and I stumbled upon this place and honestly, we had to use the GPS to get there and back home. From the outside it looks like a dump but once you walk in, it's a whole other word. The service was fantastic, the mushroom soup divine, the pizza was delicious. I would recommend this place!

Went there with the 25 year Mrs for Valentines day. Have to say they have great gnocchi one of my favorites. Portion was big and tasty. The bread they serve with the meal is very very good. Skip the salad not worth the price. The Bruschetta is worth the price. The Mrs liked her chicken parm. The meals are pricey but the size portion are big. The fly in the ointment is this place doesn't take gift cards or debit cards. Time for management to get with the 21st century...Sheeze

Correct taste, flavor, mouth feel and blend of materials that results in a good, wholesome chew & ability to slurp down the tomato cheese mix if you want to, try to avoid peak periods or you will wait.

Friends were hyped about the food here, but we werenât that impressed. The veal Marsala was covered in a sticky brown gravy. I couldnât detect the flavor of Marsala wine that gives this dish its signature flavor. The veal was served with spaghetti covered in the same gravy. Also, I thought the veal could have been pounded to tenderize it. My wife said her manicotti was okay, but not wow-worthy. She felt it was overly salted and undercooked (not as creamy as expected). Maybe this is Osteriaâs recipe, but it wasnât to my wifeâs liking. The highlights were the side salads and rolls served with olive oil for dipping. Finally, I think Iâm spotting a healthy trend. Three restaurants where we dined recently did not have salt and pepper on the table. If itâs a trend, itâs a good one, because I know I would have sprinkled salt on a few things, probably out of habit. And we all know that Americans eat too much sodium. Our friends shared a wood-fired thin-crust pizza and loved it.

3 couples had a 7:30 reservation on Saturday night, the reservation was made about 10 days in advance, we were seated promptly at 7:35, our server came immediately and we ordered drinks, he brought the drinks, we then ordered some salads, appetizers and a few bottles of wine, at that time the server went over the specials. I had a small wedge salad and home made pasta with shrimp, clams, mussels and squid, the pasta may have been the best ever, cooked al dente, which you can rarely get. Others had various menu items and specials, I had gelato for desert which was right out of Italy! We all highly recommend this restaurant, on weeks ends make reservations well in advance.

If you are from NY, this is one of the places where you can eat pizza. It's not identical but it's the closest you'll find in VA. And you can get the Sicilian style (my favorite) here which is hard to find in VA and it's pretty good too.

Were in town only overnight but had birthday dinner here at friendâs recommendation. It was quiet week night and we were last diners there. Such s pleasant atmosphere snd excellent service. Menu has unusual choices - hard to decide, but I had the âsurf and turfâ (filet, king prawn and scallop) and hubby had the rabbit. Good food. Best of all was the dessert. Creme brulee. But presentation wowed me!
