A note to travelers - don't like the large Dixie Pig sign on the roof confuse you. It's from a long gone restaurant. You won't find bbq on the menu at Vaso's, just tasty greek treats! I went for lunch with a few coworkers most recently. While the restaurant was crowded the service was good and we had no trouble... More

The service by far is what made this restaurant special. Very friendly attentive people. The restaurant itself is tiny but cozy. We went at an odd time so wasnt too crowded and got in without a reservation. The food was excellent. Would love to comd back if im in alexandria again

I strongly suspect that I might have a recessive gene from Iapetus The Piercer imbued on my DNA, because I have this "thing" for Greek food. I often go searching for Greek food and I try to tour a variety of the Greek restaurants in the area (and abroad) to properly and correctly build my personalis cibus culturae. So, suffering... More

Vaso's Kitchen was excellent. The menu selection is varied and there is something to please everyone. My husband and I had different veal entrees which were equally excellent. The wait staff was attentive but never intrusive. It was similar to dining in Europe. The meal was relaxed and we were there for two hours. Wine selections were good. A definite... More

Vaso's Kitchen transported us back to our trips to Europe from the cozy surroundings to the incredible homemade Greek food. Their marinara sauce is chunky flavored with fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes. Their serving portions are so large that two people easily had more than enough. Even their appetizers are shareable. Their daily specials reflect local market finds but everything was fresh,...

A nice Greek restaurant with outdoor seating. Though we were a group with a little kid the staff took very good care of us. The food was great as was the service.

I visit Alexandraia often and first went to Vaso's before they had received their liquor license. They've only improve in the years since. A very good neighborhood place with a good wait staff, good food, and good wine. The calamari is excellent as are the salads. The pita remains the freshest I've ever had in a restaurant. Come, enjoy.

Stopped in for dinner on Greek Independence day and what a great time my family had :-) All the appetizers and entrees we tried were excellent and served at a timely manor. If your visiting DC, stop over here and enjoy dinner in a nice area 10min. away.

Been here twice for lunch with a business colleague. This small restaurant uncharacteristically adorned with a sign of its previous owners (a ribs place once called 'Dixie Pig' and apparently a 'Landmark' in the neighborhood - gotta love it!) offers a nice selection of Greek cuisine. The food is good and the staff delightful. I love small places like this... More

I am, not talking about aquaponics, permaculture or community gardens; or even about urban agriculture or sustainable micro-farming lifestyles technologies. I am simply talking about the Menu of Vaso's Kitchen in Alexandria, VA, with more than 85 items for your educated, delicate, tiquis miquis (or picky if you prefer "run of the mill" English) palate to explore. I am not... More
