I frequent this establishment AT LEAST once a week for many reasons. And, Im not the only regular!!! 1) The food is delicious. Ive had every combination of their pizza. Part of the beauty is that in addition to what is on the menu, you can customize your toppings. Besides pizza, the salads are good enough to make it on my scale of self-proclaimed salad snobbery. They also have the best meatballs Ive ever tasted. The chocolate cake and tiramisu.......yum. 2) The service. Whether it is the wait staff, hosts, or bartenders, Ive never been disappointed. Ask, and your request will be fulfilled. Go there enough and the staff become friends. 3) The adult beverage offerings and bar aspect to this restaurant. This is Clarendons version of "Cheers!" (the television show). The bartenders are not only great people, but they know how to make a drink. Additionally, the GM does a fabulous job of selecting the wine menu. 4) Deals. Not only is there a Monday night special, but also a Wednesday night one. CHECK IT OUT, its a great way to have nice dinner on a budget. 5) Versatility. FL is the place for a date, a family, dining solo, getting take out, and meeting up with your friends. Talk about going above and beyond.... I once wanted to surprise my boyfriend. He loves their pizza.... So, I asked if they could put pepperonis on the pizza in the shape of a heart. Well of course they could! And with NO SURCHARGE. Faccia Luna is a better meal for your $$ than surrounding neighbors (Whitlows, Ri-Ra, Boulevard Woodgrill, La Tasca). I love FL. I bring my friends and family to FL. See what the buzz is about.....

Cozy inside (love the exposed brick and high ceilings), and comfortable outdoor seating area, great for relaxing and watching foot traffic. Nice little bar for grabbing a quick bite or finishing a game on TV, but nothing obtrusive or noisey. All the food I tried is great - wonderful pizzas, some a little out of the norm (I love the artichoke hearts pizza), typical (but tasty) as well some original pasta dishes too. Nothing too greasy, unlike a lot of "homestyle" Italian places. I always start with the bruschetta - great selection of wines and draft beers too. The prices are reasonable too, especially when compared with other restaurants in the area serving comparable food at like 50% more cost. Reading through the reviews of 2 stars or less I didnt really see much credibility, so take them with a grain of salt. Waiting for 20 minutes on a Saturday night at 8pm is pretty reasonable, and you should realize that seeing a restaurant full is a good sign. If you dont like tomatoes then you probably should avoid Italian food in the future too. Like anywhere you might get a disgruntled waiter every now and then, but I have always had top notch service here. Never felt rushed to pay the check or leave either, even when they have been busy.

About $50 tip automatically added for AWFUL service since we had 14 people in our party, had a female Asian waitress at the Arlington location. She never asked if sodas or waters needed refills (on the rare occasion that she made an apprearance) and looked bothered when we asked for anything. In fact, she just stated she would leave a water pitcher on the table after pouring refills for 3 people at our table. She never asked how everything was (she completely forgot my husbands order), she just didnt care. Why would she, since she would receive an automatic 18% tip? Food was average at best. This restaurant is not what is use to be. Would have complained to the manager but like our waitress, he was not around. 14 customers and the manager never bothers to stop by and check how things are. Arlington has much better options than Faccacia Luna.

Good overall food, especially their pizza, which is about as good as any pizza that Ive had in Arlington (only the Italian Store has pizza that might be even better). The service is good, and i havent had any issues in the numerous times that Ive been there. The only real complaint is the portions and options for the lunch menu. Faccia Luna just recently revamped their lunch menu to feature smaller portions and even fewer options. The meatball sliders, for instance, while tasty, were more like an hors doeuvre than a meal.

I was extremely disappointed as were all the others at my table with this overpriced food that came on mismatched dishes which looked dirty. The food was terrible. My boyfriend tried to order chicken parmesan and ended up costing over $20 because he has to pay separately for the chicken, the cheese, the sauce because it was a "special" order and the portion was so small he had to eat a whole other dinner at home. Booths are uncomfortable. Dont go here, save your money.

Excellent Italian with outstanding management. We order the Greco but were mistakenly given a different pizza. Not only were we given the accidental pizza for free to eat while we waited on what we ordered, but we were also given free dessert at the end of our meal as an apology for the wait. The Greco was outstanding, as was the accidental pizza they gave us! The tiramisu was thick and delicious. I will definitely be returning here in the future.

Decided to order a margherita pizza while we are here for vacation. We expected a tomato, mozzarella, basil covered pizza, but received only a plain pizza. After double checking the menu, it did say "tomato sauce and cheese". However, I honestly didnt think that what I assume most other Americans consider margherita pizza would be just regular plain pizza. Overall the pizza was okay. Probably is better to eat it there and get it hot.

Beware that the online google menu prices are not accurate. I ordered to go and when I picked up items are more expensive now. I understand and respect inflation, but when I was expecting to pay one thing and charged another, it is frustrating. The worst part was they did not give a care. At minimum apologize for the discrepancy and plan to fix. I doubt it will be fixed. Food was good.

Ive never noticed this place before, but I wish I had because they make some quality pizza. I tried the Genoa and the Pollo and both were fantastic. Their portions for the 16" was plenty for 2 people and the price was fair too. On top of that, the service was great and kudos to our waitress for keeping up with us even after close. Tuesdays they have half priced bottles of wine too.

Jessica was fantatstic. The kitchen accommodated all our allergies and special requests. Eggplant pizza, daily special Pizza pineapple, spinach fettuccine Alfredo, and chicken vodka pasta. We were from out of town and they made us feel right at home before our departure. We had made a trip to D.C. and wanted to have a real feast before heading home. Fantastic! A must!!!

This has some of the best Italian food I have ever had. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and was not disappointed. I am a big fan of fettuccine Alfredo, and have ordered it in multiple restaurants including restaurants during my time in Florence and Siena, Italy, and this was just as delicious! Highly recommended, everything on the menu is great

Great service and friendly atmosphere from the second we walked in the door. Excellent food, no... better than excellent food. By far the best pizza and pasta Ive had in a long time. Real Italian fare, not the play-doh stuff from corner pie shops. Highly recommended, I will be coming back again. Even if it is a 450mi drive. :)
