10. Mamma Lucia

Reviewed By Formerly_on_Guam
Mamma Lucia's is our go-to for inexpensive but very tasty authentic Italian, especially since Victor's closed. It also is one of our regular stops in combination with the Cinema Arts Theater, which specializes in indie films (but not exclusively; Jurassic World is playing there). Enormous. well-filled calzones; very good pasta; and great pizzas and salads at reasonable prices. The beverage selection is a bit thin (you can bring your own), but includes a nice selection of bottled beers. Definitely NOT a romantic spot unless you love to eat in full sight of a movie theater lobby. The family running the place for the past 30 years are friendly and familiar with recurring customers, and its amazing what can come out from such a small open kitchen. $25 for a full dinner for two is not bad.

The people here are very nice. Your food will come out quickly...mostly because it is already prepared. We did not care for the quality of the food here and felt the prices were very high for what seemed like cheap food. Maybe we got the wrong items but it just wasnât anything special. Much better Mediterranean out there.

The staff are great and the food is always fantastic! I get something new every time I go. The bread they serve is so warm and fresh... it is so yummy! Some items take time to prepare but thatâs why itâs delicious, because itâs not just sitting in the kitchen waiting for someone to come in and order it. Everything on the dessert menu is amazing. You have to try this restaurant. You wonât regret it.

We started with happy hour at the bar. The cocktails were exceptional. The bartender was attentive and helpful. After drinks we shared two pastas and two appetizers recommended by the server. we also split a bottle of wine. The entries and apps were prepared to perfection and were plentiful. The wine was a perfect paring and the server was very helpful.

Consistency is key in the restaurant business and Bellissimo has delivered each time we visit. Another great experience with Rey and as usual, the veal sorrentina and veal rosmarino were excellent. Excellent wine and exactly as ordered martini capped off another fantastic meal at Bellissimo.Thank you for your five star review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the veal dishes- and our martinis are the best! :) See you soon!

Authentic homemade Italian Pasta & oven brick pizza coupled with an amazing wine bar.
Reviewed By cbfield
Very good service. Great food: fettuccini alfredo with a wonderful sauce, chicken piccata, and veal saltamboca. Chocolate bread pudding and cremé bruleé for dessert. Only drawbacks: it was very loud - too loud for much conversation - and cold where we were seated near the door.

GAR's tribute to Chris "Ozzie" Osborn, GAR's Head Foodie since 1981. Offering reservations for parties up to sixty and featuring our full menu to go.
Reviewed By jaseaton
When we were partners in an Alexandria business, my friend and I routinely staged our office Xmas parties at the Carlyle Grand, which is part of the same chain as Ozzieâs. The formulas are pretty similar, too: excellent, fresh dishes, sumptuous seats and booths, perfect service, and a sort of fashionable airiness to the dining space. We made a meal of appetizers and desserts (loved my fish tacos) and they left us in peace to catch up on he last eight years over two+ hours. We had a great time, and Ozzieâs helped in every way they could.
