Intimate up-market restaurant on historic North Church Street in Vienna. Went there for my wife's birthday. Enthusiastic and welcoming staff with an exceptional selection on the menu.
Roberto's Ristorante Italiano
Bustling casual eatery with a wide selection of hot and cold sandwiches. Popular with local workers ordering pickup as well as enjoying streetside seating.
The Sandwich Shop
Casual dining as well as providing catering for events, and baskets to take to Wolftrap concerts. Sandwiches and salads to eat in or to take away. Great selection of deli salads, desserts, and wines to round out your home cooking, too.
Nozzo Pazzo Delicatessen
A Gastropub in Oakton! Provides a wide selection of self-brewed and local beers as well as a hefty eatery menu. Sister location to Settle Down Easy in Falls Church.

The Crazy Tomato, Italian-spirited restaurant in Vienna. Mother to the Nozzo Pazzo (Not-so Crazy) Deli. Heavy wood interior decor transports you back to old Italy. Wide selection of Italian dishes and wines.

Ned's New England Deck
One of our favorite Indian restaurants ever! Terrific selection of dishes as well as the ability to dial-your-heat level.

Indian street food! Stop to fill your tank at the gas station and go inside to fill your stomach with authentic Indian dishes to take home. This was a great addition during the pandemic that then stayed with us. Recommend going there to pick up your ...
Chit Chaat Cafe
One of the healthiest menus we've seen. Pleasant staff and great choice of food options. My wife and I stop here at least once a month.
True Food Kitchen
Casual eating in a rustic style while you can sample whiskey flights. Challenge yourself to find a whiskey they don't have on their floor-to-ceiling whiskey walls.
MacMillan Whisky Room
Our go-to Thai restaurant. Owners, Bo and TJ, are wonderful, as are their staff. Bo hosts monthly wine tastings with local distributors. Love their Pad Pic Pow with all its seafood as well as the crab rangoon. We are there at least twice a month.
Vienna Thai and Bar
Great casual dining with comfort food and a number of special dishes. Big on oysters and cocktails. My wife and I enjoy sitting at the bar to watch sports on the many screens while snacking. Comfortable seating as well, inside and outside.
Bear Branch Tavern
Awesome burger choices in an airy dining room with a casual neighborhood feel. Look for some of the specialty drinks as well!
