4. Nam Viet
$ | Clarendon |Autographed photos of U.S. military and political leaders gaze down from the walls at this Vietnamese restaurant just a block off Wilson Boulevard. Soup and pho have a prominent place on the menu (the sweet-and-spicy salmon soup has many fans), as do salads and vermicelli bowls. Dine outside in good weather. Residents tend to fill up street parking; get here early to find a spot, or take the Metro.

5. Pho 75
$ | |Drab walls and communal tables may seem cafeteria-style, but that's part of what makes Pho 75 one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in the D.C. area. Customers come from across the region to line up at this no-frills joint for the high-quality traditional noodle soup. Choose your bowl size and then what kind of meat (and how many kinds of meat) you want to cook in the soup, including flank steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, and eye-of-round steak. Pay at the counter as you leave—and don't forget to bring cash as Pho 75 doesn't take credit cards.

6. Pupatella
$ | |One of the D.C. area’s most popular pizza spots sits unassumingly in strip mall territory near a gas station and a 7-11. Don’t let the off-Metro location deter you; this place cooks up fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza in a basic but lively dining room. It’s hard to get more authentic; the chef, the ingredients, and even the wood-fire oven come straight from Naples. Pizza’s the star here, but don’t skip the friggitoria menu of fried bites like arancini or fried calzone. On nice evenings, head to the homey back patio for al fresco dining. You can also order pies for take-out, but there’s no delivery service here. The parking lot fills up quickly.
