Trattoria Da Franco

I can't speak highly enough of the pizza here. If you're looking for classic, thin-crust, New York/New Haven/New Jersey style pizza then you need look no further. Seriously the best pizza I've had since moving to the DC area. Anything else around here just doesn't meet the high bar that this restaurant has set. It's a plus that the people running the business are super nice as well! Looking forward to coming here for many lunch-breaks in the future. I recommend calling ahead if you plan on getting a whole pie - they keep slices on hand but since everything is made fresh you may want to be ready for a slight wait.

These bagels are delicious and the real deal! It’s nice to get real bagels in Alexandria (finally). Tender, chewy, and a crust - just like they should be. This is a great little gem in south old town. Just a few tables but the staff don’t rush you. The bagels are great but when they’re gone for the day, they’re gone! My only complaint is that they don’t open earlier.

NY style bagels and pizza right in the heart of Old Town. My personal favorite is the everything bagel loaded with cream cheese, lox, onions, capers and tomatoes. Delicious! The pizza is always made from scratch with the right amount of crunch, cheese, sauce and whatever toppings you like. Highly recommended

You want an experience, this is the place. Mike and his wife were the absolute best and made us feel like family. We were in town for a wedding and they didn’t skip a beat, they kept the party rolling. Mike showed us his family pictures and told us all about his Sicilian roots. The hospitality, the drinks, the food, everything makes this place a true gem and we can’t wait to come back! Thanks for the memories!
