Cavallario's Bayside — Restaurant in Town of Alexandria

Cavallarios Bayside is a self-service restaurant offering pizza and other fast food items. The cashier and order taker were amicable, and the decor was tidy, but surprisingly, the food was disappointing, given the amount charged. The setting had a dock feel, being right on the water with patio-style tables and picnic-style tables. The decor is something of a drinking hole, dive-bar feel, but to their credit, it was clean and maintained. Some plantings and greenery would go far to enliven the drab decor. Some of the low points include the cash-only policy, whereas, as a Canadian forced to use the third-party ATM, I was treated to a 7% additional charge above that day's exchange rate. I think just the sight of an unbranded ATM screams of a tourist trap. The rather pricey food was drenched in deep-fried oil, and I should not have ordered them. The focaccia-style baked dish had only a flour-based white sauce and no tomato sauce; it had a light and crispy dough, but it’s probably inaccurate to call it a pizza. The restaurant could be vastly improved with table service, some plantings or greenery and credit card payment should be offered at the...

This was a disappointing service. We will not be coming back to Cavallaro's. It was in stages, when we walked in the restraunt looked nice from the outside and then on the inside we waited in life for 25 minutes because the guy at the counter was giving this guy a huge thing of beer and lemonade. We got up to the counter and asked the worker if they sold garlic knots and he was so rude to us he walked away for almost 3 minutes then he finally returned and screamed look at the board no, we don't have garlic knots so we decided to get 2 slices of pizza and a humus sandwich and 2 sodas it costed almost 30 dollars when we got it the pizza looked nothing like what everyone else got and tasted like box pizza after waiting for 19 minutes for our order. The customer service was disappointing and we where treated with disrespect and boorish behavior by the workers of the business. And we don't appreciate to spend 28 dollars when I could go to little caesars and spend 5 dollars for a better tasting pizza. We DO NOT recommend this...

Understaffed so it took 10 minutes for anyone to even come to the counter and take our order. It was almost $30 for one small pizza and some water which is ridiculous first of all. The wait time wasn’t given to us but after about 35 minutes we went to check on it as there was only one other table in front of us. We were told another 10 minutes. 15 minutes later I went up to check again and after stating that we were waiting close to an hour I was told with an attitude from a man who I assume is the owner “well the wait time for pizza is 25 minutes”…okay so explain to me where the extra half hour has gone…he went back to check and the pizza was magically done and cut sitting in the back getting cold. Gave me even more attitude before giving me my food. I had to go back up AGAIN because he didn’t give us our water. And after that long of a wait the pizza was pretty bad. Don’t waste your time or money, they don’t seem like they want to serve...
