Cafesano: Italian & Mediterranean Bistro is Northern Virginia’s go-to restaurant when it comes to heart-healthy, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that’s carefully crafted and affordable, perfect for a quick lunch break or a family dinner after a long day.
But don’t take our word for it! See what our customers have to say about Cafesano’s service, hospitality, and most importantly, our menu.
Delicious Menu with Options for Everyone
Cafesano offers a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. From brick oven pizza to veggie-filled salads to hearty pasta dishes, Cafesano can satisfy any craving!
Nick N. shared, “I ordered two wrap sandwiches for takeout, the club and the falafel. They were excellent. Fresh and savory ingredients which were quite large. They both filled and satisfied our hunger according to our tastes.”
Greg O. was delightfully satisfied with his lunch, as he shared, “The flatbreads, wraps and pastas have all been consistently fresh and tasty, and they have a good kids menu as well. My favorite is the shawarma wrap, and the zatar chips on the side, especially with a garlic sauce, is a great lunch.”
But it isn’t just the savory and satisfying items customers order for lunch or dinner that make Cafesano’s menu great. It’s that there are also gluten-free and vegetarian options, so every customer, regardless of dietary restrictions, can enjoy a meal at Cafesano!
Chad H. shared his love for the gluten-free pizza crust, saying, “If you get the gluten-free crust for the pizza, it is crispy, just the way I like it. They have a large number of gluten-free options which is nice.”

Enjoy Cafesano at Home or in the Office
While Cafesano has tailored a welcoming and cozy environment at our Dulles and Reston locations, our dishes can be enjoyed at home or in the office with our takeout option and catering services.
Whether you’re looking for a quick meal on the way home from running around town or hosting a corporate luncheon, Cafesano has you covered!
Maryann K. shares her experience of Cafesano’s catering services, writing, “We had a party last night for 35 people and I needed help with the food. The catering department was really helpful in answering questions and helping make the right selections for my event. Pricing is very reasonable, they offer delivery and sterno setup for a small fee. Driver was on time and did a great job setting up. Food was fresh, delicious, and a hit with my guests. Cafesano couldn’t have made it any easier. They’ve been a go-to for takeout and dine in for so many years for myself and others living in Reston. You should consider their catering for your next party because they do such a great job!”
Alison S. shares her love of our takeout option, writing, “Love this place, have been coming for years! Best salad (signature) ever. Never had a bad meal. I like that it’s casual and not full service because we rarely do dine in and their take out game is on point. Truly in my top 5 for Reston area food joints.”
No matter where you eat your lunch or dinner, Cafesano can be there!
