I moved to NoVa 2 years ago and have made it my mission to try all of the best restaurants. So, I'm here to share my recommendations with you!
Some of the best Italian I've had in NoVa!
Perfect spot for a date night, or dinner with some friends! Must try the Zucca Chips, White Truffle Garlic Bread, and Spicy Rigatoni Vodka!
North Italia
Great for a casual lunch and drinks with a friend. It's right on the water, so I would definitely recommend sitting outside!
Blackwall Hitch
I love to get apps and drinks with my girls here! Great food, great location, and reasonable prices.
Mia's Italian Kitchen
One of the Great American Restaurants in VA! The perfect place to get a delicious breakfast sandwich and coffee to start your day.
Best Buns
They have the best iced matcha and iced vanilla latte!! The breakfast/lunch food options are also fantastic. My go to is the avocado toast!
Simply Social Coffee
This is in a bit of a random location, but is totally worth the visit. Amazing pastries, breakfast and lunch, and coffees!
Jireh Bakery Cafe
I loveeee this restaurant! Amazing tacos, drinks, and the best chips & guac. The ambiance is perfect, and the price point is great!
bartaco
If you want a cute and casual place to go for food and drinks this is the place! You can sit indoors or outdoors if the weather permits. I love bringing my friends here when they come to visit!
Caboose Commons
The ozzie rolls and the drunken ribeye are a must try!
Patsy's American
Some of the best Thai I've had in NoVa!! The food is amazing and so are the drinks.
Sense of Thai St, Chantilly
Take it from a Jersey girl who is very particular about her pizza… this place is fantastic!!
Andy's Pizza Fairfax
I used to come here weekly.. So many options to choose from and they're all delicious.
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
Sooo good! Definitely make a reservation far in advance though!
Carbonara
My order: steak tacos, chips and guac, and churros
District Taco
Whether you go for brunch or dinner, you can't go wrong.
Ted's Bulletin - 14th Street
Incredible Asian food!!
Hawkers Asian Street Food
A foccaccia sandwich from Eddie's is a must try.

A pricier meal, but the food and drinks are so worth it.
