    We had an incredible experience at Landini Brothers in Old Town, thanks in large part to our waiter, Lee. His service was outstanding! Lee was consistently attentive, knowledgeable about every detail of the menu, and carrying himself with a warm, professional kindness that made us feel truly taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. Every dish was prepared beautifully. The atmosphere made the evening even better. Soft music, a relaxed energy, and the charm of the surrounding scenery created the perfect setting. Highly recommend dining here and asking for Lee. He made our night exceptional!

    This is one of the few restaurants in Old Town Alexandria where you can get Clams Casino. They also have one of the best desserts I have ever had which is the "Flute Al Limoncello!" It is very light, elegant, flavorful, and the perfect palette cleanser after dinner. Their service is also impeccable. I love going to a restaurant where they actually remember you from previous visits. When the weather is nice, sit outside at one of their tables which are fully dressed with white tablecloths.

    I had dinner tonight at Landini, and our waiter Lee made the experience absolutely wonderful. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and professional. He had great recommendations, checked on us at the perfect times, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The service felt warm and genuine, and Lee’s positive attitude really added to the evening. The food was excellent as always, but the service made it truly memorable. Thank you, Lee, for making our dinner so enjoyable — we’ll definitely be back soon

    Overall, the food was well-cooked and authentic, but I had small nitpicks with both the food and the service. We arrived at opening time on a Sunday and made a reservation the night before as a precautionary, but when we walked in, the restaurant was not busy at all. We started with a Pate e Robiola crostini as an appetizer. They brought out with complimentary bread & whipped butter to start off our meal, which was lovely. Unfortunately, I personally didn't like the Pate e Robiola too much, as it was very creamy and fatty. We ordered a Penne alla Romana to split between two people - the service was very attentive and split both the pasta and the accompanying Caesar Salad into two portions for us! I LOVED the Caesar salad! The veggies were sweet and crispy and the dressing was umami and salty in all the right ways. The Penne alla Romana was cooked perfectly al dente but the sauce was a little bland. There was salt and pepper on the table to the dish which helped the flavor of the dish immensely. My only small complaint is that while they split the pasta dish into two, we were charged for the dinner rate of the dish instead of the lunch rate. Other complaint is that we ordered a side of pesto risotto but the waiter forgot about it, but we didn't get charged for it so it ended up being okay. Ideally, I would've liked to try it but at that point, we had been in the restaurant for almost an hour and had to leave for something else. The service in terms of getting the food out was pretty slow, but the attentiveness to water refills and clearing away plates was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant if you want authentic Italian food and you have a good chunk of time (maybe up even two hours!) to enjoy your meal.

    Overall, a great experience for lunch on a weekday. I will definitely be back. I was first seated in the room that shares as the bar, between groups of business people having loud negotiations (some in person, some on the phone. Some of these were drinking martinis.) I explained my concerns and asked to be moved. I was moved to a nearby area, also with business groups. Luckily, these groups were not as loud. The complimentary bread was fantastic. I loved the fact it was sliced thin. The butter was served at just the right temperature. It was spreadable but not melty. I love that detail! My fennel salad was interesting and flavorful but not seasonal (August.) It was huge, by the way. My server, James, chose a wine that perfectly paired with the salad, as I requested. The kitchen staff worked as a team to deliver and clear. Marco, the busser, kept everything moving. I learned later that James was the lone server, taking care of both indoor rooms and the outdoor tables. He did a great job by himself that day! The main course, grilled vegetables with goat cheese, came next. I am glad it was not a huge, heavy portion. The bread and salad had nearly filled me up. The carrot and asparagus were cooked perfectly. The eggplant and zucchini were a bit greasy. The first slice of eggplant had an entire side of skin, which I could not easily chew. The restrooms were immaculately clean. I really appreciate that and take it as a sign that the management cares about the details. After my meal, I looked at the upstairs. It has several rooms, several of which would be ideal for private parties. The whole atmosphere was classy. The white tablecloths are reflective of the level of service. As stated at the beginning, I am looking forward to returning.
