Best Italian Restaurants in Baileys Crossroads

The decor and music was very nice. We enjoyed our brunch cocktails and food.

Lovely birthday brunch for a friend at this low key spot in Shirlington. The pasta was delicious and we were treated to a lovely glass of wine. My friend enjoyed her cheesecake but my Circus Maximus dessert was just a little too much for me. Ice cream, brownie and meringue piled high was more than I could handle. The ambience was great as it wasn’t too crowded so we could speak at a moderate level. I’ll return to try more of the menu.

All the meals were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in our party of four. Larger pizza was very generous; took home half for another meal. Wine prices are quite reasonable for the DC area. Service very good, despite the Brunch crowd. Only real issue was the noise level: it was very busy, though, and people might have been really enjoying their bottomless (or very inexpensive) cocktail/beverage choices. One of our party uses a hearing aid, and the ambient volume made conversation with him nearly impossible. Not the fault of the restaurant, just basic acoustics and energetic patrons.

This was a good Valentine’s Day pick. The food was good, the noise level was easy to have a conversation, and the service was outstanding. The entrees were priced well but the starters and wines seemed a little pricey. I would definitely recommend this low-key restaurant in the heart of bustling Clarendon.

Excellent service. Quality of the food was adequate. Very pleasant atmosphere.
