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.
One of the best Italian food in Falls Church.
Must try their collection of wine and various pasta.

Our friends’ friend recommended this Italian restaurant to us, and this one turned out to be much better than the other one in Falls Church. We had a reservation for table for 6, but they had tables for smaller parties that didn’t need reservations. We ordered mostly dishes from their dinner special and every dish tasted fresh and delicious. I had my favorite veal chops - it was cooked perfectly medium. I love the vegetables on the side - seasoned so perfectly and not salty at all. Fresh ingredients always win! My husband loved his tortellini, and our friends loved the Alfredo sauce. We had so many baskets of breads - the herbs on the bread with olive oil and vinegar brought the whole meal to another level. We had the tiramisu cake and chocolate mousse cake, which concluded the perfect night. The service was great - they arranged a round table for us, and they were very attentive.
This place had great reviews, so we stopped while passing through on a Sunday.
It did not disappoint. The food was very good. We had a salad w/grilled chicken, side of pasta(sauce was fantastic). Chicken parm, also very good with pasta. Came with the usual bread and oil/balsamic.
There were so many things on the menu that looked good, and we go plain...long travel day, I guess.
Anyway... great food, but it is a little on the pricier side. I guess it's the nice area.
When I pass through again, I'll be stopping.
Oh, the parking is in the little garage next to it on a side street. Very convenient.

This little gem, in the heart of Falls Church, was discovered by accident, a happy little accident! We've been here 3 times in less than 2 months, and we rarely frequent restaurants to that extent. The owner was gracious and courteous as well as every staff member we encountered.
I had a fantastic experience at Sfizi, the Italian restaurant. The delightful blend of delicious food and inviting atmosphere truly captivated me. The staff's warm and friendly demeanor added to the overall positive impression. An added convenience is their complimentary parking service. I must mention my appreciation for their impressive variety of wine options as well. Without a doubt, I'm eagerly looking forward to revisiting Sfizi in the near future.
Mediterranean food is good for you, that's what I have been hearing people say.
The food is great and I practically cleaned the plates.
I have been going back to the restaurant many times when I stayed at the nearby hotel.
Recently got a salad, a glass of Gavi Di Gavi, and the grilled Branzino fish. It's delightful.

Great food and service!
My husband took me here on a date, knowing I prefer to dine somewhere without being rushed, with good quality food, and attentive service. This place met all my requirements. We sat down early, around 6 PM, when there were few other guest, but soon the restaurant filled up. The wine list was a little limited unlike the menu ... oh so many things to choose between! I rarely choose both appetizer and desert, but the portions are perfect here. The cappuccino was perfection too.
Waafa, he manager, spent time making sure everything was to our liking and we ended up having a wonderful conversation with her.
We are definitely eating here again when we are in the area.
