"Highly recommend! This quaint neighborhood coffee shop is the place to be! The coffee served as espresso or with an americano is La Columbe Nizza flavor. So unctuous and comforting- it's one of my favorite. I was so happy to discover a local neighborhood coffee spot near me that serves it. The owners and workers always make you feel like family! Top notch service. They always fill your cup to the brim so you never feel cheated. The prices are $2-$3 less per cup than national coffee shops and tastes infinitely better! The atmosphere and cozy furniture seating groups make you feel like you are having coffee at a friend or family members place. Very thoughtful seating, including outdoor seating that is utilized everyday. You are greeted by the neighbors that frequent this favorite coffee spot on each visit. It also allows you to bring man's best friend and sit outside with them to ship your core and relax. This little shop also sells your favorite coffee in packages to take home and make in between your stops to visit your neighbor family. They also sells some fantastic looking wine and delicious pastries and sweets, along with breakfast sandwiches and lunch items. Treat yourself to the whole experience of drinking a comforting cup of coffee with the authentic family caring atmosphere! You will not be disappointed! Make a new neighborhood friend while you're there!"

"If you're in Arlington, Virginia, you absolutely have to check out Charga On The Pike! It’s easy to overlook while driving by, but trust me, make the stop! Special shoutout to @sugarsheed_ for their incredible STAMPED Mumbo sauce! Here are the highlights from my visit at 3293 Columbia Pike, Arlington VA: - **Chili MoMo Dumplings ($14)**: These fried dumplings are stuffed with chicken and come with a tangy, spicy chili sauce. They were thick, satisfying, and I can’t wait to have them again! - **Kabobs Combo Tandoori Jerk Chicken & Salmon Tikka Kabob ($19)**: Served with Biryani rice, chickpeas, salad, and naan. You’ve never had tandoori jerk chicken like this—don't miss out! - **Suga Sheed Mumbo Wings ($12)**: Paired with savory sautéed veggies and potatoes. The Mumbo sauce tastes just like classic carryout—delicious! - **Chopped Cheese ($15)**: This dish is loaded with onions, bell peppers, and American cheese, served with spicy masala fries. Cheesy, meaty, and the fries are perfectly seasoned! - **Charga Chicken ($12)**: A half chicken that's steamed and flash-fried, accompanied by Mac n Cheese and spinach. The chicken is mildly spicy and cooked just right, while the Mac and spinach add a nice touch! - **Steak n Cheese ($15)**: Filled with fried onions, provolone, and bell peppers, served with fries. It’s cheesy and meaty—definitely worth trying! - **Veggie Samosas ($3)**: Crispy pastries filled with tasty curry-flavored veggies. - **Mango Lassi ($5)**: A homemade yogurt drink that's sweet and thick like a milkshake! As for the service, it was impeccable. Just a heads up, parking can be a bit tricky since the lot is small. The restaurant is mainly a carryout, and it's a bit accessible for those with disabilities. Overall, make sure you try those dumplings—they're a must! #Bigschlimsreviews Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended Dishes: Green Sauce, Small Mac N Cheese"

"Located in Shirlington, Corso Italian Arlington VA offers plenty of convenient street parking and nearby garages. We made a reservation and received excellent service throughout our visit. Although there was a small mix-up with our Arancini appetizer—it arrived after our entrees because it seemed to be forgotten—it was promptly taken off our bill with a sincere apology. I tried the Lambrusco Flight; while it wasn’t bad, I wasn’t a fan of the Rosso. All drinks were served quickly. My friend’s Corso Sour cocktail was delicious. For our meals, I ordered the Campanelle Alla Romana, and my friend chose the Spaghetti Meatballs with extra sauce on the side. They also brought fresh parmesan generously. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and I’m eager to explore more items on the menu during future visits. I also had the French Fries with garlic, parmesan, and Italian herbs—they were crispy but could have used a bit more garlic flavor. For dessert, I enjoyed the Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake, which was rich and sweet, perfect alongside a cup of coffee. Overall, Corso Italian delivers great food, attentive service, and a wonderful dining atmosphere. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I was invited to this restaurant based on positive recommendations. Upon entering, the friendly staff greeted our group. Our waitress was well-informed about the menu and specials when we placed our order. We began with calamari as an appetizer. My main course was the shrimp and lobster pasta, and we also ordered a children's pasta. For dessert, we chose bread pudding. The calamari was flavorful with tomato sauce and corn. It was cooked perfectly, tender rather than crunchy. The shrimp and lobster pasta was delicious and offered a good portion for its price. Everything was tender and full of flavor. The children's pasta was appropriately sized for a kid's meal. The bread pudding was a delightful treat with a soft texture. The warm pudding and ice cream on top created a satisfying contrast. This restaurant truly lives up to its reputation. I've already recommended it to others, and I'm eager to return and try more dishes. By the way, the experience was so good that I visited their adjoining bakery, Baked Buns, to bring home more treats!"

"Dine in Dinner My wife and I came here consistently for the past five years. We loved it. We even celebrated the day of our engagement here. We’re sad to report that new management bought out the restaurant and fired their fantastic chef. Every dish is now a sad imitation of the original. Overpriced and poorly executed. A once great pasta with red sauce and meatballs? The pasta is overcooked and the meatballs lack seasoning — though they charge $28 for it. The cocktails and wine program. Only four cocktails are listed and the glass of red wine we ordered was body temperature warm. Their fantastic burger? Not on the new menu that’s font now resembles that of an IHOP. I still managed to get the cheeseburger after a veteran staff knew what I wanted but it was noticeable that burger was cooked to lack any crust and an unappetizing grey. These problems aren’t just misfires. They’re structures problems created by a new team with absolutely no idea how to run a kitchen. Our favorite staff are all leaving and the staff that remain know that this ship is sinking. To the new ownership: you ruined a fantastic neighborhood restaurant to make a quick buck. I wish the hurt you’re causing fell on you instead of the hardworking staff. We won’t be coming back — though it hurts deeply to say it."
