We visited Bar Italia about 4pm on a Thursday for a late lunch. We pretty much had the entire place to ourselves.

We ordered the Rocket salad (£12) and pizza Margherita (£12)

Both the salad and the pizza were delicious. The service was prompt and efficient. The atmosphere is a comfortable authentic Italian setting with several murals covering the walls.

We will visit Bar Italia again when we return to Edinburgh.

Beautiful grounds, modern buildings, and interesting displays of art. There is a two miles paved walking trail that takes you through the property.

We were there in mid-September, therefore not many blooms, but I can imagine in the Spring and early summer, the fields and the hills are colorful and beautiful.

Reservations are required if you want to park onside. Very friendly, responsive, and attentive staff.

Security cameras, cold water stations, in- ground, animal-proof trash bins, emergency call button, and nicely designed directional signage everywhere. Entry is free.

We got there at 10 am on a Thursday and there were two people ahead of us. After a 10 minutes wait, we were asked to go in and we were greeted by Craig, the friendliest Civil Servant you ever met. Craig was kind and efficient and we were out of there in less than 10 minutes.

Everything bagel toasted twice with cream cheese and Asiago bagel toasted twice with butter and light roast coffee hit the spot for an on the road breakfast. Friendly and quick service and clean dining room.

Beautiful campus with nice open space & convenient access from Brookland/CUA Metro Station. We walked through the campus from Metro to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
