Burke

Villa Bella dinner

6050 Burke Commons Road, Burke, VA 22015

Go for

A sit-down Italian meal with cocktails offers an evening alternative when the group wants conversation around a table. Pizza and pasta keep the menu approachable.

Before you go

Use the restaurant’s reservation link for a planned occasion. This is restaurant dining, not a promise of live music or late-night club entertainment.

Burke

Workhouse Arts Center, Lorton

9518 Workhouse Way, Lorton, VA 22079

Go for

Make a separate excursion for an advertised performance or arts event at the former workhouse campus. It broadens the evening options beyond Burke’s restaurants.

Before you go

This destination is in Lorton, not Burke. Choose a specific ticketed performance and its building before traveling; gallery access does not mean a show is included.
