We are Italian and very fussy about Italian restaurants. This restaurant is classy, delicious, spot-on with their food and service. They know to serve a tablespoon for twirling in a side dish with the meal. Who does that?? The food was perfect and presentation was...wonderful! The three colors salad was one of the best salads I have ever had! Amazing! You have to go here for pizza or a full entree! Fantastic!!More

So excited to return to local restaurants now that our COVID quarrintine has relaxed and were fully vaccinated. Had some wonderful meals here in the past but the meal yesterday was a disappointment. First off there were no specials, soup of the day or pizza...due to staff shortages. We started with the Calamari Friti which was tough and bland. She had the fish of the day which was Grilled Salmon that wasn't fresh and a disappointment. I had the Tagliatello Bolognese and the pasta was overdone and beyond limp but the sauce was rich and tasty. The Chocolate Sausage was a big disappointment as the chocolate slices were gummy and tasted stale like they had been left uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. They said there was a new chef working alone so maybe that explains the drop in quality and limited menu. We were so looking forward to a special meal out and didn't find it here. The service was great and they followed local COVID protocols.More

First do not let the store front fool you. We live in NJ our son and his fiancé live in Virginia. We were hosting their rehearsal dinner on 9/24/2020 for 31 people. Estella the the event person was very helpful, as some attendees had Covid...questions. We were seated outside in the lovely covered patio area. The food was delicious, freshly made, the presentation was lovely. Our guest had a choice between 3 entrees with appetizers and dessert. The meat ravioli were to die for! The servers worked extremely hard to make sure all were taken care. Were there hiccups, only minor, which is to be expected with a large group. Picking a restaurant solely from reviews several states away was a bit scary, however this restaurant did not disappoint! If you are in the area it is worth stoppin gin.More

Don't be deceived by the outside, step into another wonderful world of perfection. Excellent attention to details. I had the duck breast, perfectly prepared with balsamic reduction, wild mushrooms deliciously seasoned and mashed sweet potatoes savory not sweet. Couldn't have been better. My companion had...a four inch thick veal chop with the same sides. All was excellent. The semifreddo was lovely. I liked the panna cotta, it had fresh raspberries, but a touch firmer than I make, delicious.More

Simply put, if you want an upscale, but affordable Italian restaurant, this is it. My wife and I have been dining here since they opened and they are consistantly wonderful.

The food here was incredible! So many good options to choose from and presentation was great, but the best was the taste! Wonderful wine list as well! The staff was very good and worked well as a team. The prices are a little high, but...you get what you pay for. We’ll definitely be back!More

We went here for my second (!!) birthday dinner on recommendations. Lovely place; white tablecloths, courtyard (for warmer weather) and small private room. Tho small, it felt spacious. Waiter attentive and prompt; had good timing. There was a bit of a language barrier with him...but we were patient. He brought out foccaccia and olive oil to start, and in due course our soup (cauliflower/roasted pepper), then the entrees. I had the fruitti di mare (shelllfish/shrimp over pasta) and it was wonderful. Needed a box as I couldn't finish it. He had Meatballs Rigatoni that he pronounced "delicious and filling." The place is definitely Italian-themed, with archways and murals, very relaxing and soothing. Parking can be a bit sticky as it is in a tiny shopping center, but well worth it. We plan to return.More

Had an awesome experience at Tortino Mare in Manassas Park. This is jewel hidden in a residential neighborhood and may be the best Italian restaurant for fine dining in the area. Our party shared the Calamari Fritti and then enjoyed the Nicolini Ravioli (with lump...crab), Tagliatelle Bolognese (with veal rugu), Barramundi special, and the Linguini Fruttti di Mare (with seafood and shellfish). We also enjoyed the Semifreddo (like a super creamy gelato) and the cheesecake. All the food was delicious, made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and we enjoyed super friendly wait staff service. We'll definitely return to this hidden gem and try the other superb menu selections including brick oven pizza.More

In a strip mall in Manassas Park is a great Italian restaurant. Friends had a late lunch there recently. Two roasted tomato soups and 1 fennel and beet salad with wonderful bread, two risottos of the day and one tagliatelle bolognese. Three cappuccinos. More food...than we could finish (but a great second meal), each course better than the last. Oh, and verry good wines by the glass. I wish it were closer to where I live but Tortino Mare is worth a drive. Friendly and competent service, a nice patio for good weather.More

We met friends for a light dinner meal. The food was good. The service was very good, and timely. The restaurant serves from a simple menu, filled with Italian meals.

My wife and I visited last night. We got there early, before the dinner rush, so the place was largely empty. That said we found the service to be attentive and friendly. They take an obvious team approach to service. I ordered the New York...Steak (not a NY Strip) and it was delicious. I am not sure what kind of sauce it was that they poured over it, but it was perfect. The roasted potatoes were slightly crisp on the outside with almost a French-fry like consistency. My wife had the Rigatoni Meatballs. The meatballs were small but very tender and flavorful, mixed in a tomato meat sauce with big chucks of soft mozzarella cheese mixed in. When I asked for a container to take my leftovers home, our waiter offered to wrap it for me. I am a big fan of that level of service and feel more restaurants should take this approach. As far as the atmosphere, you would probably feel out of place if you showed up in jeans and a t-shirt. I’m not saying you gotta wear a tux, but something business casual seems right. This place definitely has a date-night feel to it more so than a ‘round up the kids, we’re goin’ our’ type of vibe.More

Best in Manases!!!! Wife and I have lived in the area for years and this is one of the best restaurants in the area. Service: EXCELLENT Food: EXCELLENT Atmosphere: EXCELLENT This place is off the beaten path near a residential area and police office, 7/11...and laundry....don’t give up if you get a bit lost...trust your Google Maps and press on...you’ll love it Now....I will admit DC and NYC do have better Italian restaurants but DC is far away and NYC even farther....we were So pleasantly surprised by how good this Manassas restaurant is Just go.More
