An Italian restaurant in Rosslyn from Fabio Trabocchi, Sfoglina offers fine dining in a “luxe casual” setting. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and have a rooftop terrace for private events.
#37 – Eat an authentic Italian meal at Sfoglina
#36 – Eat Chesapeake Bay Steamed Crabs
One of my favorite things about this area is being able to get blue crabs steamed with Old Bay seasoning and eat them outdoors, preferably by the water, but if you want to stay in Arlington, The Quarterdeck will do just fine. The season generally runs from mid-late April until October.
#27 – Celebrate Cinco de Mayo
On Cinco de Mayo or any time you want Mexican food, try our local favorite, Taqueria El Pablano, the family owned and operated Guajillo in the Courthouse neighborhood for authentic Mexican cuisine, or Mexicali Blues in Clarendon for its vibrant atmosphere. Last year we got takeout from El Paso on Pershing Drive.

#24 – Dine at Carlyle in Shirlington
Part of the Great American Restaurants group, Carlyle is listed in Northern Virginia magazine’s 50 Best Restaurants, and finished in the top 3 in Washingtonian’s Readers Choice awards for Best Desserts, Best Weekend Brunch and Best Service. The outdoor patio is a great spot for people watching.
