Da Domenico (Vienna, VA)

Having driven by it for 20+ years, I wish I had gone to Da Domenico sooner. While the food appears to be classic Italian (I couldn't be regionally specific), the service takes its page out of Europe; that is, professional servers who will do anything but rush your lunch (even if you are in a rush!!!).

After reviewing the entire menu, I settled on the veal cannelloni. Not only is cannelloni one of my favorite pasta dishes, I love veal -- and Da Domenico's veal chop is touted as the best in DC. I figured their ground veal must be of a similar quality. I was not disappointed.

The cannelloni, stuffed with delicately flavored ground veal and spinach, is dressed with a thick gravy (and some cream sauce, just to kick it up a notch). I cannot remember enjoying cannelloni any more than I did at Da Domenico, and it's an absolute certainty that I will be returning.

CONCLUSIONS
Food: 9/10
Service: 5/5
Errata: 3/5
Total: 17/20
$$/$$$
