Alfio's La Cucina D'italia

Very good Italian food, traditional dining atmosphere (dark wood, red brick, chandeliers). Exceptional service by our server Marcos. Looking forward to dining here again.

Italian American food done well. The veal parmigiana is quite good. The meatballs are nicely meaty not bready. Fried zucchini in little disks are tasty. The mozzarella in carroza is memorable. The fried calamari is fair but could be better. Beautiful interior with a historic theme. This place deserves to be full nightly.

Ordered via Uber eats, never ordering from here again. The food was oily, I had a chicken parmesan, which looked like it had been fried and the cutlet was put into the box with all the excess oil. The marinara sauce was not flavorful either and tasted tart without any hint of spice.

Came here on vacation, the interior is insteresting to look at so it gives you something to do while you wait the not very long time for your good food. Salad bar anyone? I?d be happy to come back and try something different. The only complaint was that every few servings, the ice cream tasted like cardboard.

REAL ITALIAN AT IT'S BEST!! I had a craving for authentic Italian cuisine, so I decided to take a step back into time to a restaurant that I used to visit in the 90's and it was as if time had been standing still. The love that Alfio's La Trattoria puts into each and every meal is like no other and each bite leaves you wanting more. I could have gone to a chain restaurant, but I wanted the best and that is exactly what I got. After all, they have been providing the best of the best in Italian cuisine for well over 60 years and that is just something that no chain restaurant can compete with. My chicken Alfredo was just as I remembered... pleasing to the palate and the perfect harmony of noodles, sauce and chicken. I accompanied it with a few pieces of bruschetta and out of nowhere, I found myself kissing the tips of my fingers. I wanted to share the experience, so I also picked up chicken parmesan and minestrone soup and was told that the chicken parmesan was the best that they had ever tasted. There was even mention of something about the preparation of the spaghetti noodles and how there was some type of oil on them that gave it an extra oomph. The portions are large and the union of flavors cannot to duplicated. If and when you are in the Chevy Chase area and have a craving for authentic Italian, look no further than Alfio's La Trattoria.
