Our Story
Troy’s Italian Kitchen is a quintessential small family owned restaurant, located just outside of the Clarendon area of Arlington. We offer classic Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza, but also a variety of appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. We are passionate about ensuring that people from all walks of life feel included when they dine with us. Therefore, we also offer a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options, our modern touch to classic Italian dishes.
We take pride in being a part of the Arlington community, and strive to give back whenever we can. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, we had the pleasure of providing to various first responder groups throughout our area. Knowing that we could do a small part in helping and showing our appreciation to all the people working on the frontlines was an honor.
