Ovvio Osteria, Fairfax

Ovvio Osteria puts a spin on traditional Italian cuisine with fresh, seasonal ingredients and bold flavor profiles. Examples of this creative approach fill the menu, from veal sweet bread ravioli, served with spaghetti squash and a thyme brown butter sauce finish, to suckling pig with white bean and butternut squash ragu. The chefs create a dozen signature pasta dishes and pizzas, while diners can dream up their own winning flavor combinations with create-your-own pizzas and calzones. Meanwhile, the bartenders mirror the kitchen's inventive flavor pairings by shaking up creative concoctions like the Danny's Way, a cocktail made with cruzan rum, grapefruit juice, and wildflower honey. They also offer a rotating cast of craft beers and wines to pair with main courses and with desserts like Italian cheesecake and a gluten-free chocolate caramel crunch cake.
