Pinzimini Restaurant and Lounge at The Westin Arlington Gateway

Amazing burger, good fried tomato appetizer, and really good veggie panini

We booked this restaurant based on the menu and other reviews. We did not realize it was inside the Westin hotel. We arrived to find a company function in full progress. It was loud and chaotic. We did not see a host or even a single person dining. This is clearly a hotel bar. We left.

Sat at the bar for dinner on a Saturday evening. Great, attentive staff. Menu slightly pricey. Large pours of wine. The crab dip was awful. The impossible burger and sweet potato fries were delicious. Large, decorative restaurant.

Server Jose was amazing. He made my birthday so special!!!

Awesome team and excellent food. It’s a great hidden gem in Ballston. Absolutely worth the visit for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks.
