Couldn't believe how good this place was! Highly recommend the kabobs and the taziki (sp?) sauce. Booze is cheap too.

Good mediterranean food (paninis, salads, pizzas...) looking and tasting delicious and fresh. Located in a charming little shopping centre near water and ornated with blooming trees. A pleasure for the eyes on top of the good food.

Sunny ambiance overlooking the lake. Great healthy salads, paninis and brick oven pizzas. Get there early for lunch to avoid the rush. This place is popular!

Nice food, nice view, wine by the glass. A local restaurant with a loyal patronage... because it is dependably good. Pizzas are incomparable, salads are yummy, always have fresh soup.

I have been to Cafesano a number of times. I am never disappointed. It can get pretty busy at lunchtime so, I found out that you can place an order over the phone and pick it up a their "market" located a few doors down. My go-to menu item is the Bianca Insalata, or as I like to call it..."salad... More

Every time I have been to Cafesano I have loved it! I live in Herndon and wish Cafesano was closer, but it is worth traveling for. The food is always fresh, delicious and served with great customer service. I personally love the Caprese panini best and you must try the hummus for you appetizer. Patio dining is perfect in nice...

A great place to go to. Their pizzas are especially good, as are most of their wraps and basically anything I have gotten there.

This was my first visit to Cafesano. As soon as I walked in I has struck by the atmosphere - friendly and busy. The display of food is impressive and helped me choose from the excellent menu. There is a broad choice of Mediterranean food - Italian, middle eastern and North African. I visited as a family group - my... More

Great food, great ambiance, good for families, a bit crowded at lunchtime and weekend evenings. The pizza is great, cooked near a live flame, the kabobs are good, definitely try the dip sampler platter.

In short, every item on the menu is delicious. I've been there too many times to count, and NEVER been disappointed. The atmosphere is unique and relaxed. Freshest ingredients. No pushy wait staff or rush. Great place to relax, enjoy the modern decor and bright interior, sip wine (very reasonable prices), and eat interesting food. Although it's a strip mall... More
