Johnny Fairfax,

First off, ignore Gravis. He strives for perfection, but does make a good point. Your submission would be much more helpful in a clear-cut wiki format instead of buried under pages of forum posts. Please edit this wiki article with restaurant selections: http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/wiki/Restaurants

Second off, if this list becomes popluar enough it won't even need to be sticky'd as it will always be bumped to the top.

This thread will remain and anything goes, as always.

Gravis, be nice to the posters that actually post coherent messages. It's a nice change ;)

We have tried this new Italian place in Fairfax City called Vespucci's. It was really good. Another Italian place is Villa Bella in Burke. Great food and generous portions. By the way, does the word "wiki" rhyme with "Trickie"?

Top two places on my list for Italian in FFX are:

Da Domenico (Tysons Corner)- excellent selection of veal dishes, including a veal bracciole that is really awesome.

Pistone's Italian Inn (7 Corners)- real old school atmosphere and great food. They also have a large antipasto buffet, something you don't see often.

Pulcinella italian on Old Dominion in McLean. And Moby Dick afghan right next door.

Both are excellent. First-rate carbonara and gnoche at Pulcinella, and nice tender meat at Moby.

If y'all ever make it out to Imperial, MO, make sure you get a burger at Twister's Iron Bar Saloon. Former NHL goon and current restauranteur Tony Twist brags in his commercials that they're the best burgers in the world and I'll be damned if he isn't right.

Pulcinella italian on Old Dominion in McLean

I'll second that. Pulcinella, great food, always courteous service. That place holds a weird memory for me; I just got evacuated from work and then around 11AM on the morning of 9/11/01 I went to Pulcinella to eat a meatball sub for lunch. The place was dead, and as I ate, I realized that we might be at war and that I should probably just go home and figure out exactly what was going on.

Is Vespucci's the place near the Chrysler and Hyundai dealerships? How were the prices compared to Villa Bella? We like Villa Bella a lot...the brick oven pizza is very good and they do a nice job with dishes like osso bucco that you don't find many places. The only downside is that the place gets really busy on Friday and Saturday and the waiting area can hold about 10 people. Very family-friendly, however.

Hi Mr. Burnham,

Yes Vespucci's is on route 50 near the 123/50 intersection. Across from the Mazda dealership. It is more expensive than Villa Bella. You won't see families there very often. They are big on wine and most of their dishes are flavored with wine. The service is good and it was not crowded the two times I went. There is valet parking but you can find parking on the street behind the restaurant. I do love their food and the ambience is nice.

Eamonn's: A Dublin Chipper
"Step into this refinished boarding house just outside D.C. and wash down piles of perfect fish and chips with pints of ale (and you can cap it off with fried doughballs or fried Snickers). Then, sneak around back to an unmarked red door, ring a buzzer, and head in to PX, a speakeasy where mix-master Todd Thrasher has concocted seven house bitters, his own sweet vermouth, and a perfect list of Jazz Era refreshments."

family type restaurants near Fairfax where you can get a decently priced meal

Check out The Virginian in Vienna. It's a greasy-spoon diner type place located in the shopping plaza at the corner of Maple Ave. & Glyndon. It's a no-frills dining experience with all the typical downhome fare. Open-face sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy, excellent club sandwiches, burgers, meatloaf, etc. The type of place where you can grab a seat at the counter, drink coffee, and not be bothered with the typical corporate chain environment. This place has understated old-school charm, and it does truly does "more with less". Nothing yuppy about it, you'll find alot of locals just looking for some good comfort food.

Great breakfasts too.

i was intrigued by this question as i hadn't thought about it as i had been told it was "WEE-kee." however, upon further examination, american english dictates it to be "WICK-ee" which yes, rhymes with trickie. the origin or the word is from Hawaiian "english" which is "WEE-kee" but i gave it the acid test: the AT&T Natural Voices demo.

now im sure people are all "that's bullshit, speech programs suck." WRONG! AT&T has developed a speech synthesis program that is very good. try putting something like "I flipped my car on I-95." and it was say it correctly and it sounds like a person instead of a machine. i got really bored and tested them all as there a accents for different parts of the countries, here are the results:

American English (Crystal/Mike/Rich/Lauren): WICK-ee
American English (Claire): WECK-ee <-- wtf?! southern?
Latin American Spanish (Alberto): WEE-kee
Latin American Spanish (Rosa): wee-KEE
German (Klara): WEE-kee
German (Reiner): WEE-kay <<-- huh?
French (Alain/Juliette): WEE-kee
Canadian French (Arnaud): WEE-kee... eh?   :P
UK English (Audrey): wah-I-KEE <-- WTF?!
UK English (Charles): WAHY-kee <-- fucking brits
Indian English (): WAHY-kee <-- fucking brits taught them!

(note: "WAHY" sounds the same as "why")

i think it's clear, that the british cant speak worth shit... and ruined the Indians.

while most of the world says WEE-kee, fuck 'em... it's WICK-ee.

I whole-heartedly agree with the Vienna Inn suggestion. Ferfux posts some controversial opinions, but he's right-on with the Vienna Inn idea. I love that place. Wings, burgers, chili dogs, and beer... this place is better than any chain you'll find anywhere in NoVA.

while i am smart, this is mostly a matter of being informed and skillful. with google you can find just about anything and remembering various sites you have been too also helps. i think of google as a librarian that knows all so long as you know what to ask for. though, i have been called a "googlemaster."   :P

thanks for the compliment! :)

One early Saturday morning, in the year 1977 or so, my brother and I went for a trek. We had planned it the night before. Our mother worked hard, so we knew she slept in on Saturdays and would realize nothing if we got home by noon or so.

We awoke about dawn, about 6:30 a.m. We ate some cereal, and then headed out. We walked about a mile and a half, and then saw a strange sight.

I only ate at Have a Bite many years ago for lunch. They had a line at the door so they were rushing us out. I didn't like that. When we lived in Italy you had the table for as long as you wanted. Wasn't too impressed with the food and hard to park there too so I never went back. But I do like frequenting mom and pop places over chains.
