We want to know which NoVA restaurant is the best of best when it comes to Italian food. We’ve selected 32 restaurants across Northern Virginia to go head-to-head in our bracket-style competition. Here, vote for your favorites to help them advance to the next round for their chance to claim victory.
We’ve tallied all the votes and the winner of this year’s NoVA Wars: Italian Edition is Thompson Italian. Congrats!
Voters are allowed to submit one vote per round.

Note: This bracket does not reflect a comprehensive list of every Italian restaurant in the region. To select this year’s competitors, we included the businesses listed in our Best Italian Food cover story, as well as critic recommendations and new businesses in the area. The slideshow above shows a breakdown of each quadrant in the contest bracket.
