Best Casual Restaurants in McLean

Excellent food and presentation. Absolutely delicious! My entire family loves this place and we are never disappointed. This is an excellent dining experience not to be missed.

Heading to a concert at the Kennedy Center (it's a very easy approach to Foggy Bottom), we tried Claudio's Table out for the first time. We ate early and got to watch the restaurant fill up with a broad range of families and couples from the neighborhood and elsewhere, bringing a real nice ambience. The food was fabulous: fried artichoke with a green salad started things off beautifully, like being in Rome. The linguini with lobster tail, on a light red lobster infused sauce (a special) is among the best dishes in Washington (et Voila's Norwegian sole is another). Our other dish was the linguini with clams. My wife and I shifted our platters back and forth, with help from staff when they saw us treeing to balance the dishes. Wine was lovely and the lemon cake dessert was a brilliant combination of layers. The portions were also perfect (not too big, nor too little) and we stayed awake through our concert.

I go quite often. The food, service and ambiance are always great.

Surface was pretty slow, honestly but food was still good

Great food. Nice friendly service . Wonderful clams and linguini red and white sauce. Great paglia fino. Always great nova go to Italian. Mangia it’s great ! Can’t wait for gazpacho with crab season after. Memorial Day!
