Italian Restaurants near Beltsville

“Came here to leave a review for my experience yesterday. It was probably one of the best pizzas I had. Considering I’ve tried many places in New York I’d say this is an easy second or third place in total. Best in Maryland I’ve had.After reading a lot of the one star reviews it seems as though the main issue was about cleanliness. It seems to me that they have taken these reviews seriously and done a lot to improve in this area. Toppings and pizza were fresh and tasted great. Workers are very friendly as well. It is understandable that they may be stressed with a busy night rush, but don’t let that stop you from ordering.Overall I hope that this place will continue to stay open and strive for a clean and nice staff. My personal experience was awesome.Thanks!“

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“It was the perfect meal, from appetizers to main course, and dessert! Our server, Ricardo, was very attentive and informative about the menu and gave us personal recommendations, as well. I had been wanting to dine at Cucina Morini for a while now, and I am so glad I chose it for our friends visiting from overseas.“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“This was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would never normally choose Italian as a n “”out to eat” option but I’m so glad I did! I would eat here night after night if I could.“

“Amazing meal. The food and service were top notch. Service friendly and professional. Beautiful restaurant. Excellent wine list. Host John insured that all went well. All 8 of us greatly enjoyed the experience!“

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!“

“We have been going to La Tomate for years. Retired several years ago and moved away from DC. Every time we are in DC we always go to one of our favorite restaurant, La Tomate. I love the selection on the menu, always something new to try with the daily specials. La Tomate has great staff and an excellent location. Many thanks to Natalina for having a beautiful Restaurant and delicious food. Happy Anniversary!“

“Great food, wines and service.“

“Solid Italian restaurant in DC.

Easy to get reservations, I went on a Friday night with a friend. We got the three course set menu. A lot of food for the price. Great quality and great options. Recommend coming hungry or ordering off the a la cart menu. Garlic knots are a must.

Lots of servers that were very attentive. Be careful, they’ll scoop up your plate if you’re not paying attention.

Wine and beer list was extensive.

Fair pricing for quality of food and atmosphere.

Would definitely recommend to a friend. Would definitely visit again.

Parking: No parking lot, not a lot of street parking. Had to park a few blocks away.

Kid-friendliness: I probably wouldn’t bring kids here, didn’t have kid friendly food.“

“PIZZA MOVERS, TAKOMA PARK Excellent cudmstoner service; great pizza! Faster, too!“

“My wife and I had an absolutely amazing evening dining out here on a long weekend trip to DC for our Birthdays. The food was incredible I have not found one dish at this or the Chicago location that wasn’t great. Abagail was simply the best waitress we have EVER had. She was attentive, personable and really went out of the way to give us the best dining experience my wife and I have ever had from top to bottom. We had a great experience in Chicago but I have to say I think the food was a touch better here. I am comparing caviar to caviar here as both were great, but DC has the win here and certainly did with our waitress as well.“

“I came here right when the restaurant opened and sat at the bar for the happy hour. Food came out quickly, love the bread a lot. We got the meatball, the grilled octopus with finger potatoes (please try this dish it’s so good). They also accommodated my request regarding the pasta, which was very nice of them. Tiramisu is good too. Would come back.“

“Their pizza is worth trying. I highly recommend ordering a pizza with a side order of boneless chicken wings. We thought the chicken wings were divine! They were so tender and worth ordering again. The pizza was full of texture and taste. We ordered the Italian Mamma.“

“Made a reservation for my wife's birthday as she's been craving chicken parm and it did not disappoint. Everything about the experience was wonderful from our server, Elise, to the delicious food, to the hospitable management. Had such a great birthday dinner and loved the experience. The pinot grigio we had, Loop (i think was the name), recommended by Elise was just a perfect pairing with the chicken parm and chicken marsala we had. Just a really fun experience.“

“So delicious and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“I was in DC for an education seminar, and our group of six ate dinner here. I ordered the Pappardelle Alfredo and for dessert, I chose the cheesecake, which was the best that I've ever had at a restaurant. It has a hint of lemon, and it was delicious. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and cheerful, which is important to me. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in DC.“

“This was our first time dining at Al Tiramisu. There was five of us in our party and we were greeted warmly by the hostess, which made us all feel welcome. She introduced the waiter to us who has friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. He walked us through the menu, and offered great suggestions. The service, the atmosphere, and the food were excellent! We all agreed that we would definitely return! Highly recommend Al Tiramisu!“

“I had the most incredible dinner at Giovanni's Trattu! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, welcoming, and authentically Italian. The service was impeccable, with our server being both attentive and knowledgeable.

The real star of the show, however, was the food. I ordered the Osso Buco, and it was simply divine. The veal was so tender it fell off the bone and melted in my mouth, and the rich, flavorful sauce was a perfect complement to the creamy risotto it was served on. Every single bite was a taste of heaven. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

“Wonderful food & charming outdoor patio space . Cocktails yummy too!“

“Great menu of food and drinks, well executed, and in a neighborhood locale… well-spaced outdoor seating.“

“This beat some of the NY style slices I had even in New York. Just the perfect ratio of crust to sauce to toppings. Perfectly sized pepperoni cups. A gorgeous toasty feeling to the freshly heated slice. Started with 3 slices between 2 people and essentially ended up eating a whole pie. Staff are amazing, so warm and friendly. Great brews on tap and a few salads and sides on the menu to go with the pies. Can’t wait to come back“

“Shoulda had some dessert after the meal I ate.“

“Well deserving of the recognition by Michelin's star award. Arguably, the best restaurant in DC metro area with a commitment to excellence in food, service, and atmosphere. The wine list is among best with older, approachable vintages.

Great experience.“

“I gave this spot a try and could not be more satisfied and delighted with the taste of the food, as a pasta and pizza lover im very picky w sauces and dough, the restaurant is accommodating, food is fresh and presentation is great, the service is outstanding. The Owner David came out and served our food, overall I give 5 stars to this place. Will be coming back soon👌👌👌“

“Good food but if you plan on ordering from uber eats make sure you tell them you need eating utensils and napkins. There is no place to request this on their uber eats, so you will sit in your hotel room eating with your hands“

“Checks all the boxes as they say, Beliseima! Mangiamo! Salute!“

“Excellent cuisine. Conveniently loacted. Great service.“

“Certo Restaurant is a delightful dining experience that I can't recommend enough! I recently visited for breakfast, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food and the warm ambiance.

I ordered the omelette, and it was absolutely perfect—fluffy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. Each bite was a wonderful combination of textures and tastes. The fruit bowl was equally impressive, featuring a vibrant assortment of seasonal fruits that were both refreshing and beautifully presented.

The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who genuinely care about providing a great experience. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, making it a fantastic spot to enjoy a leisurely meal.

Overall, Certo Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to dine. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a relaxing brunch, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit!“

“Just got done eating here for the first time. Ordered a 12-in pizza, with half sausage and half veggies. It was fresh, tasty and exactly what we were looking for--a nice neighborhood pizza place with great tasting pizza. Will definitely be back again, very impressed!“

“One of my friends recommended the restaurant and I wanted to try it out . Delicious food, friendly atmosphere very near to the metro.“

“The pizza and Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine 🤌🏾🤌🏾“

“Had a great experience! Food is delicious - the shrimp scampi appetizer is amazing! My husband and I couldn't get enough of it! Garlic bread with dipping sauce, meatballs with whipped ricotta, branzino and pork Marsala were standouts of what we had. Would definitely go back! Service was attentive but not overbearing and the space was open and inviting, wine selection was great! Excellent evening!“

“Amazing addition to the neighborhood. We went around happy hour and everything was great. Good vibes, great prices, really nice staff. A small menu, really well curated. We got the valpolicella, real Rickey, Roman sunset, Toto, and a meat and cheese board.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s going to be our go to after-work chill spot from now on.“

“Att Fabio! I’m here now and Maria is my server. She is the best! I started with the grilled calamari and asked about the vongole. She brought me a sample to try! She is well versed with your menu, it was a pleasure to dine here.“

“Delicious commercial restaurant. Bare in mind that Covid has affected all restaurants to one extent or another. A lot of them have closed. This Olive Garden is actually doing well. Good job guys. With the closing of Pasta Plus this is my favorite Italian restaurant in this area“

“I ordered the Lasagna dinner and I The serving was large and the salad was with Balsamic Vinaigrette’s. They also make pizza did not try from the amount of Togo orders it must be good. The management needs to decide are a full fledged Italian restaurant or just a pizza place serving some Italian food. I would go back again.“

“Amazing food and service.“

“If you find yourself in DC, I highly recommend giving this place a shot if you wanna splurge on food. The dining experience and service was top notch and the food was splendid.

Side note: I also heard that they were going to close up shop later this year so try it while you have the chance!“

“My wife and I both had excellent meals. She ordered the short ribs which were tasty, generous in quantity, and reasonably priced. I ordered the rack of lamb which was perfectly cooked and also very tasty. The restaurant was quiet since it wasn't particularly busy and the service was attentive and prompt. An excellent experience overall“

“This is one of the truly genuine Italian restaurants in the city. In business for years, and you'll understand why. The menu offers delicious recipes, refreshing the menu regularly. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, and well trained, the ambience is warm and inviting inside, while outside offers a garden like setting, making you forget you're downtown.“

“The Pizza was provided by the AMA club which was cool. The food was quick to arrive. The Pizza was still hot which is always good. The pizza was so delicious I think I am going to start going to Paisano's Pizza. I want to see how it is to dine in.“

“I work not far from here, so I decided to place a To-Go order online, I ordered for a specific time, and waited about 5 minutes before they brought my order to my car, I got The Chicken & Gnocchi soup, very good, and The Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini, it was very good, there was nice size chunks of Steak, I cut them into bite-size pieces and it was plenty, it had just enough flavor, I'll definitely get it again!“

“Vengo spesso da voi per il pranzo con i colleghi e uso i buoni pasto Coverflex, sapete se li accettate? Non vi trovo sull’app e sarebbe comodo poterli usare qui.“

“Today, Dec.13, my wife and I stopped in for first time (5:30/6:00- we are just “average joes)We were greeted by a very cheerful hostess. We were immediately shown to a table. Staff informed us the servings were “BIG” (easily serves two or three), but we are welcome to order as much as we like. There was a plethora of choices! Drinks and bread (4 different types) were promptly brought to our table. The waiter was sharp, attentive, and on his game! (Unfortunately I forgot his name). Our huge amount of food showed up, and it WAS a huge amount for two people! It was served up to our plates to start. (A very nice touch!) it was excellent! For dessert we had the tiramisu “pie”(yes it looked like and filled a very large shallow bowl and served with big serving spoon!) It was covered with shaved Belgium dark chocolate! ( It was decadent/sinful) We ate 3/4’s of the dish! The Manager (Jorge) was also very attentive and customer service oriented! He was observant and wanted us to have an excellent experience… and we did !! It was an absolute AAAAA+++++ meal! Now my new Favorite restaurant! I absolutely recommend this restaurant!“

“Very good happy hour! (4-7pm) The prices are affordable and the aperol spritz is a very good size compared to other restaurants that give a small glass. I recommend the nachos and tacos to share. The service is a little slow but it can be improved.“

“My friends and I were visiting DC and wanted to try something new. When we got there we saw it was closed for a private event but Sherman quickly came out and apologized. My friend mentioned wanting to find a cannoli so he told us to wait outside. He came out with three cannolis and told us it was free. He was the sweetest and the cannolis were amazing!!“

“We are tourist & was searching for a place too eat since our first choice for dinner totally ignored us after we sat there 30 minutes we left. This pizza joint is absolutely delicious. The thin crust was delicious especially on the cheese pizza. The only negative thing I have too say is y’all charging too much for a house salad. I mean if you gonna charge $14 @ least give me something other than basic lettuce.“
