Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide: Savio's

Savio's

Savio's, web site, 516 E & F Van Dorn Street, Alexandria, VA, 703-212-9651, slightly funny hours, I think. (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [City Paper | openlist | Yelp]

Savio's is in one of Northern Virginia's premier strip malls for food: Van Dorn Station. Has excellent Thai, Japanese, Peruvian, Italian, and some good ethnic groceries. Just south of Edsall, and a bit north of the Beltway ramps on van Dorn. Despite the competition, Savio's will sometimes win out when I am in this mall. I like the pastas here, especially the Rigatoni Carbonara, or the ones with spicy sausage. The cook is from Tunisia, and does everything just a bit differently.
