I lived in Napoli for seven years and had very high hopes for Sfizi. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in nearly every dish. In Italy, the culinary ethos is simple dishes with high-quality ingredients, and that just wasn't reflected on our table. We paid $34 for one of their white pizzas, and the price lead me to believe it would be amazing, but it was quite far below mediocre: undercooked on a metal tray and somehow cold by the time it arrived even though we were one of only three tables in the restaurant. We shared three pasta dishes, all of which were overcooked and lackluster. The meatballs were the exception - light and delicious. Their marinara is very acidic and sweet, but nice. The service was very attentive and professional. We paid $170 (including tip) for three meals, one pizza, and one side. No drinks. That's wildly overpriced for the quality of food served. Overall, I advise you to go to 'A Modo Mio' in Arlington instead - their food is superior and their prices are better.

Mecca for local families with young children. It’s small and un-crowded, with kind and helpful staff. Arlington Public Library is compatible with the Libby app, so we can all check out digital copies at home and read on our devices. So convenient! We all love our local library.
