Searching for an authentic Italian dinner without flying to Italy or driving to D.C.? Look no further than Tortino Mare, one of Prince William’s newest restaurants, which serves hand-cut pasta, gourmet pizza and artistic desserts almost too beautiful to eat.

Located in Manassas Park, Tortino Mare is away from the hustle and bustle in a small strip mall near a police station, a convenience store and some homes. However, don’t let the location fool you. The first reaction most new diners have is, “Wow! I didn’t expect to see this inside.” It’s a response that chef-owner Noé Canales is pleased about and takes great pride in.
