Thompson Italian 1024 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

"I visited during brunch hours and it was easy to make a reservation and we were promptly seated. The quaint space is indicative of Old Town Alexandria but I liked that the dining area was bright and had colorful art. I enjoyed the house Caesar salad, rigatoni, and lamb meatballs which were delicious well prepared and presented. Would definitely recommend visiting for no frills Italian cuisine staples. There is paid street parking (free on weekends)"

"Awesome food and experience! Diego was an amazing server and fun to chat with. The tortellini was top-notch, probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had. Also highly recommend the burrata."

"Overall a fabulous experience. The restaurant is very attentive and timely with your service. Was a group of 3 of us, all got pasta dishes, the squid ink pasta, rigatoni and the braised pork pasta dish. Overall was very good. Ordered a cocktail called The Notorious F.I.G. Incredibly strong drink and very pungent with the smell but in a good way. Sweet and strong drink. We had the Pumpkin Tiramisu to finish and that was the perfect dessert to finish the meal with."

"What a great experience we had at this place last night, every single dish was so delicious. We enjoyed everything, but I’m still dreaming about that mushrooms tagliatelle and the passion fruit sorbet. Definitely we will be back. Highly recommend.."

"Cute place, food is good, I'm not sure they make their own pasta, though. My dish was flavorful, but the texture of the pasta didn't seem freshly made. My cocktail was great, and the garlic bread was tasty. It was very reasonably priced and our waitress was very nice."
