Alta Strada at the Mosaic District in Fairfax (2911 District Ave., No. 150). Mosaic is about a 15 minute drive from West End Alexandria at Duke/395...presuming no traffic.
2 visits with friends + 1/4 of Menu Samples (or perhaps it just seems that way) = A Deliriously Good Italian Food Festa. I think its the best Italian at Mosaic...unless you want Neopolitan pizza from Pupatella.
Make a point to go enjoy @altastradava. See their menu at altastradarestaurant.com/fairfax-va.
