Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Best restaurant in washington. Laid back and classy at the same time. Had most of the menu and nothing to complain about. Usally get the specials now. Always unique. Highly recommend the sausage roll, if you order from the menu. Drinks are a little expensive and not well mixed. Still 5 stars

Stumbled upon this unassuming restaurant by chance. If Yelp hadn't told me there was a restaurant here, I wouldn't have known by the facade. Staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. If I'm ever near Al an' Rubens again, I will be sure to stop.

The buffalo chicken sandwich was really good.

...I must say that the parking alone would scare off most people, but a mother's day dinner it had to be. Though we were seated quickly that was the last thing that was quick here. The beans and greens was excellent when it did show up and the shrimp po boy was very good after somebody decided to bring it to our table. The wait staff is very good if the object is to make you wait. Good food couldn't save this venture.

Came on the advice of one of my non Olive Garden eating friends. Yes there are still people who go to Olive Garden for what they think is Italian cuisine. This place is such a good place. Great food and even better service!

I've never had a bad meal at Al an' Ruben's. Walk in and you'll be greeted and seated right away. There are usually several well thought out specials on the menu. It is evident that the chef takes pride in his creations. The regular menu is extensive and features a great variety of appetizers, salads, and entrées. Many of the dishes are Italian inspired. My favorite is the Chicken Parm. The full portion features two breasts that are breaded to perfection, cooked just right, and smothered in tasty sauce and cheese. In the mood for a burger? Their's are great! The wait staff is always pleasant and professional. The dining room is comfortable with a mix of tables and booths. Dress is casual. Grape tasted. Grape approved.

It's my go to restaurant, if I don't have any plans. I could live on the greens and beans. There are some things that are not my favorites, but they have live music some nights, an attentive wait staff and if anything is wrong they fix it immediately with many apologies. That's exactly what you expect. Someone in the kitchen cares about your meal because it is consistently good. They have a stocked bar and some really nice wines and beer. They always have some homemade ravioli special and usually other appetizer and dinner specials. Veal Collini is a new favorite and the burgers are the best I have ever had. My complaints: The bread needs a little work, usually cold inside. Some fancy breads or rolls would be fantastic here. My kids always wonder where the dipping oils are and they just don't do those here. The side or house salad is minuscule. It's not your average size side salad, which is disappointing. But the ranch dressing is phenomenal. (My one suggestion - regular ranch dressing as well as their current one. Kids love ranch dressing on everything but their's is a little too spicy).

Oh JOY!! We finally have somewhere awesome and special to go to in the south. We are besieged by chain restaurants down here. Well, we have one of the most unique and talented chefs back in the neighborhood. Years ago he was the exec chef at Bella Piatta. It quickly became or fave restaurant. We were so very sad to see it go. Chef Al's fabulous, authentic Italian cuisine was a wonder to behold. And now, he's back at a place he and his lovely wife Leesa call their own. The service is excellent and the food is just as good as it ever was, which is to say AHMAHZING!!! The traditional Italian menu is complimented now by some delicious American fare with a southern flair (Mac and cheese and fried jumbo wings). I had to try the wings and was so glad I did. While a little odd to start an Italian meal that way, it was perfect. My meal was Beef Burgundy and it was heaven. My husband had the Veal Collini which was beyond excellent. We nearly wept with joy. I wish I had 2 stomachs as the portions are generous. I can't wait until tomorrow to have the rest. This was just a small sample of their menu so we're looking forward to coming back to dive into more of it, especially the Italian nachos, which a fellow patron raved about. Please come check this place out. Not the greatest location, but well worth the trip!!

I don't know how I've worked in Washington and never been here before, but I've been twice in the week since I first discovered it. The best thing about Al an Rubens is the service - friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food is great - essentially Italian/American. I've had pasta both times I've been and both times it has been well-prepared with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the mozzerella en carozza. If your cholesterol is high, you'll probably want to avoid the instant myocardial infarction on a plate, but it's essentially a fried mozzerella sandwich in bechemel sauce. What's not to like? Al an Rubens isn't winning any awards for decor, but don't let the very casual appearance fool you - this is a great place to take a date or for a dinner with friends.

My mom LOVES this restaurant. She has now taken me twice during my visits back to the 'Burgh. Al an' Ruben's is an unassuming place- not really near a major highway, not much to the front of the building, you could very easily drive by and miss it... you basically have to be a local in the know. They always start you off with some fresh bread. The bread is yummy (I'm a sucker for bread most anywhere) but the butter is "eh." A pepper butter, I think? However, I give them kudos for not serving those little packets of butter a lot of places use. Next up, we had the Fried Zucchini appetizer. I was polite and shared with my fam (there were 4 of us there for lunch); otherwise, I would have eaten the entire thing by myself. Long, thin strips of zucchini with just a little bit of breading... I may or may not have taken the largest piece on the plate. The first time my mom brought me here I ordered the Stuffed Eggplant Parm and liked it. This last trip, I wanted to try something different and not as heavy so I ordered the Penne Vodka. It was good, but there wasn't a lot of pasta and it was drowning in the sauce. Now the amount of pasta was probably due to the fact I ordered a lunch size, but the amount of sauce should have been for a dinner sized portion. Oh well, I just asked for more bread and cleaned up my plate. My mom had the special of the day (some kind of veggie pasta with a cream sauce) and liked it. My brother enjoyed his Ruben sandwich, and my nephew swears by the Penne Alfredo. All the pasta dishes came with a free side salad. Both times I've been here the service was super friendly and spot-on. This is a cute little restaurant for a family get-together.

If you want frozen food that some 17 year old assembles, there's plenty of chains to choose from. But if you want food carefully hand created by someone who actually cares and uses incredibly fresh ingredients... Choose Al an Rubens. Even the special herb butter is delicious and handmade. The help is friendly too. The exterior might scare some away but this is the classic "don't judge a book by its cover" case.

Another wonderful dining experience! The menu, as well a their daily specials, are full of delectable goodies. The staff is very accommodating and service spot-on. We always order a piece of Lemon Cake or Bread Pudding to go........both are fabulous!!! Keep up the good work

After hearing good things about Al an' Rubens from quite a few people, I finally stopped in for dinner. The place is rather unassuming from the outside and once inside, it's nice but not flashy. Without knowing any better, you'd think Al an' Rubens would be the kind of place that serves meatloaf, instant mashed potatoes, and smothers everything in either "brown" or "not brown" gravy and that couldn't be further from the truth. The food is delicious and surprisingly elegant and the portions are huge. They offer pastas, Italian dishes, some seafood and all kind of specials. Try the Veal Collini, it's excellent.
