We recently attended dinner here after a function. Parking was easy and plentiful. We ate indoors close to 5:30 on a Friday night. It was not overly crowded and we received good service from the staff. The bread sticks were delicious and we were able to keep them coming through the meal. The salad was so-so but the main meals were served hot and were absolutely delicious. I had the lasagna which was a nice sized portion. All and all I would say this was a very nice place and would go again.
Love this place! Excellent service and food. Each dish is very flavorful (but not salty). During the pandemic, I used to order food from here often, and even the delivery food was good. This place never disappoints me. A hidden gem for sure!
Excellent service and food. In and out quickly on a Monday evening. We had the Chicken Piccata and the Chicken Rolatini which both were amazing. The Piccata was in a very light lemon white sauce with capers and Rolatini in a light rose vodka sauce. Both on top of perfectly adente homemade pasta. The meal was capped off with their homemade tiramisu which was drenched heavily in liqueur. Both entrees came with the tangy dressed house salad and freshly baked bread and served with black label real butter. The only complaint was being seated back to back (within 6 feet) with another booth in a mostly empty restaurant.
Server was extremely attentive. Every time our water would go down just a little bit - refill!
The food was really good. The only thing was the carbonara was a little toooo decadent for me. Flavor was delicious though. Portion sizes are generous and I’d love to come back to try other dishes.
The food here is amazing. Everyone I bring here loves it. I’ve never had a bad dish. My only “issue” is that the decor is tired and looks like it’s from a 1980s remodel. The booths make me feel like I am at Denny’s. The outdoor patio area is nice for meals (it is covered). Bottom line: food is delicious and worth a visit!
I’ve lived around Cantina my entire life, but never thought to go in until my friend invited me to go with her just a couple weeks ago. We went, and I was a little hesitant, but as soon as you walk in to the time you walk out everything from the service, to the food is phenomenal. Since my first time at Cantina, I have told almost everybody I know about it, and have gone multiple times. You will never be disappointed with the food, and the price for the quality and amount is just amazing. I have had a couple of different dishes, but the arrabiatta has to be my favorite. Every dish from the bread, the salad, the entree, and the dessert are just spectacular. That, and absolutely nothing beats the service. The staff is amazing, and accommodating. I can go on and on about how much I adore this restaurant. It is my #1 in the Fairfax area. Everybody I’ve recommend it to has had the same opinion as me. It’s just an amazing restaurant.
Very good place for dinner. Good and fast service. Amazing food. Definitely one of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while.
