Great pizza at a great price, especially the daily specials.
Home, Alexandria, VA | Fairlington Pizza - best New York-style pizzas
Great anniversary/special occasion spot! Classy French, but modern. I loved the fried sqash blossoms.
Vermilion | Old Town | Alexandria
Best pizza in town. A little pricey, but you can buy it by the slice at the counter.
Valentino's Pizzeria
Best Mexican place in Alexandria. Must try the queso!
Los Tios Mexican Grill
Great little spot right on the water with a view of DC and National Harbor, as well as the Cherry Blossom steamboat which is usually parked there. Extensive salad bar with almost any item you could imagine putting on a salad. Seafood is excellent.
Chart House | Seafood Restaurant With The Perfect View
Great occasion spot. Delicious food, some outdoor dining, with some of the best people watching in the heart of Old Town.
Two Nineteen Restaurant
Excellent seafood. Try the boulliabase ! Friendly staff, and comfortable with a modern feel.
Legal Sea Foods - Reagan National Airport
Go-to spot for an occasional brunch or evening out. Everything is good., especially the bread, which is made fresh daily at the bakery next door.
Carlyle
Delicious food, fun atmosphere. Little date spot for that weekly date night.
Copperwood Tavern
Quite possibly the best tacos I've ever had. Everything is so fresh and delicious.
Uncle Julio's
The most fun little ice cream shop in Alexandria. Takes you back to the 50s or so. We love the peppermint ice cream. And the jukebox.
Pop's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop in Alexandria, VA
If you really want a good steak and a choice bottle of wine with the most excellent service, this is it. And, oh, don't neglect to try the creme brulee. Perfection.
Ruth Chris Steakhouse
This little sweet spot needs to be on your list.of places to visit if you're anywhere near Leesburg. Run by Catholics, this quaint little coffee and sandwich shop is filled with both sacred art and trendy treasures to shop for your kids or yourself. ...
