50 Best Italian Restaurants near Beltsville

“I have to say, Pizza Boli’s on 4727 sellman rd, beltsville Maryland has absolutely blown me away. This is truly the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings were fresh, and the flavor was on another level. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their food.

On top of the amazing pizza, the customer service was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Mr. Ali went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making my experience a great one. It’s rare these days to find such warm and attentive service.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed. Delicious food, excellent service, and a clean, comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great pizza and exceptional customer care!“

“Great food, wines and service.“

“So I had the steak sandwich and my wife had the little mini 5-in Mama's spicy pizza. Both were excellent, very good. Very tasty. Cooked perfectly and the service was really good. Would highly recommend stopping in here. It's kind of like a little known place.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Had such a lovely dinner- Michael, our server, was an absolute gem. So kind, warm, fun, and knowledgeable. He gave us the perfect recommendations- we especially enjoyed the garlic knots and rigatoni. Our night was made so special at Reveler’s Hour!“

“My wife & I had a wonderful and delicious dinner while catching-up with our son & his girlfriend last evening. Fantastic meal & our server Michael was outstanding.“

“One of those rare spots that genuinely captures the feeling of being in Italy. The pasta is outstanding, with that fresh, simple approach where the ingredients are clearly the focus and every bite feels balanced rather than overworked. The arugula salad is just as memorable, crisp and peppery in a way that feels clean and intentional, not heavy or overly dressed.

What really stands out is how consistent everything is. The flavors are bright, fresh, and well balanced, and you can tell the kitchen cares about doing the basics really well instead of overcomplicating things. And the tiramisu lives up to the name, rich but not too heavy, with that classic finish that makes it feel like the perfect end to the meal. It is the kind of place that stays dependable every time you go, never disappointing and always leaving you thinking about when you can come back.

Grazie mille! Complimenti allo chef, era squisito.“

“My party sat at a high top in the bar. We didn’t do the typical tasting menu. However it was still a wonderful experience. All of the staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Seth was very knowledgeable and personable. Every cocktail was incredibly complex and delicious. The whole dining experience was well paced and each dish was delicious. I understand why they have earned a Michelin rating.“

“The bread was divine. The manicotti was pretty good. It has cold crab on top. The server told me beforehand, which wasn't a problem, but I just don't get it. Seems like the dish would have been better and more composed with warm crab. The salad on top didn't taste like much and didn't add anything other than texture to the dish. The pasta and seafood were both cooked to perfection. Service was great.“

“Great Food and Service! The food at Pines of florence was delicious and of high quality. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the service was excellent. I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend �“

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

“I came here during my lunch break on a weekday. All the pizza options were available and I got the buffalo chicken slice. I don't make that much $, but the pricing was totally worth it. ($6 I believe) The pictures don't do it justice, but if you like NY style thin crust with that grease drip, you'll love this. The crust had that dough bubble that I love, and you could hear the crunch echo throughout the cafeteria. I would love to see some gluten-light offerings in the future but for now? A quick bite for good quality? You won't be disappointed.“

“Thank you for such an amazing experience.

The owner, Tim, was incredibly kind. He came over to our table a few times, sat with us, and even shared the story behind the pasta. Learning that everything was made from scratch made the experience even more special.

Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I didn’t catch the name of our server, but she was an absolute sweetheart.

The atmosphere felt like home…like a neighborhood spot where you’re just eating with friends. Truly reminiscent of Italy.

Chef Nick even came out and brought a special dessert for my nephew, which meant so much, especially since we were celebrating his birthday. Out of all the places I could have chosen, I’m so happy I chose Ulivo. It genuinely felt meant to be. This will definitely be a place I come back to!“

“Amazing food and service.“

“First impression, fancy place yet accepting of my Washington Capitals hoodie. I thought for sure I was gonna get calamari but the waitress sweet talked me into getting chicken parmigiana. And wow am I glad she did. It’s like a pizza but with a chicken tender crust. Great work! And right when I didn’t think they could do any better, I got a free cookie!!! That is service.“

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

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

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

“Had pizza delivered to our Hotel, & it tasted great plus the cookies are chewy & delicious! We were hesitant on where to order from and DC Pizza did not disappoint. Thank you for the delicious food!“

“Excellent cuisine. Conveniently loacted. Great service.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“Had dinner with family while visiting the DC area. The restaurant was perfect from the decor, the seats, the food, the servers. Patricia was amazing and I loved her little soft humming as she went along her way making guests feel welcome. The food was 10+. Highly recommend.“

“An all-time favorite. The pizza is spectacular, and everything else is delicious too! So grateful y’all were open just 3 days after the snowstorm. We needed your food as a treat for clearing the walks. Thanks!“

“The best Italian food in the DMV!!!!“

“I’ve been visiting Casa Mia Italian Eatery & Cafe in DC for months now, and as they approach their one-year anniversary, I just have to say how impressed I am. This Ethiopian-owned, woman-owned Italian gem is a perfect blend of cultures - delivering outstanding pizza, gelato, and craft coffees. The story behind the restaurant is just as impressive: a reflection of the American dream of building something special through hard work and passion.

My family and I have been to Italy, and the gelato here takes us right back to that authentic Italian taste! If you’re curious about the deep ties between Ethiopia and Italy, do a little research - you’ll see why this works so well! The pizza is flavorful, the gelato is rich, and their coffee options are top-notch. But beyond the menu, it’s the warmth of the place that makes you feel at home the second you walk in. Highly recommend!“

“Prix fixe menu that is always different, so each visit is a new dining experience. With an intimate atmosphere and always exceptionally attentive service, we look forward to coming back!“

“For my out of towers its in a food hall and not brick and mortar. I wasn't aware. I came due to insta. The food was great. Fresh bouncy noods, marinara was ok but the Calabrian chili oil sets it off. It was spicy and flavorful. The meatballs are not freshly made and taste processed. It was an "OK" pasta meal. Nothing major or fancy.“

“Had nice dinner for four at Facci, have been here many times over the years. Angel hair Sophia Loren vegetarian dish was best of what we had, really flavorful mushrooms and peppers. Margarita pizza was good as was the white mushroom pizza. Spaghetti Amatriciana burrata was good but not our favorite, very different than in Italy.

Service was responsive and pleasant. The bread with vinegar and oil is also quite good, everyone liked it. Really good wine list to choose from, lots of choices and price points. We sat inside as it had been raining earlier but just to note they have really nice outdoor seating which is great during nice weather.“

“fantastic new restaurant by chef Amy Brandwein. I feel like I'm at a cafe in Italy!“

“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.“

“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👌👌👌“

“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.“

“OH MY GOSH! Not only was the service the best but the food was AMAZING! Our whole group loved every bite and left satisfied! We WILL be back and recommending this place to everyone!“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“We visited at 6:30 on a Friday night at thr end of June and while the restaurant was busy, we only had to wait a few minutes to be seated as a table of four. Our server Brittny was friendly, attentive and checked in regularly. The one thing that was a little off was the timing of the food. The bread sticks came out, then the child's meal, then the salad, then the appetizer, then the main meals. The food was good. It's a chain restaurant so nothing was great, but it was all good. Overall a good experience.“

“This was my first visit to The Strand DC for Brunch In Motion hosted by DesFit & Dance ( the last Sunday of each month and it was great. I grew up in this neighborhood and went to HD Woodson and didn't even know it was there. I love the energy and beauty it brings to Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue. Although I didn't have brunch my family did and they enjoyed it. It was clean, great design and the GM Tre made sure we were well taken care of.“

“First time eating here and I am in love. I decided to get chicken piccata, my favorite dish, because I'm always on the lookout for a good one. I am always disappointed by other restaurants because there's never enough sauce, cappers, no seasoning or over salted. Not here. There was a good amount of sauce, a lot of capers, good amount of chicken. The plate was huge!!! For 27 dollars including a drink and garlic knots thus was highly worth it. And the garlic bread that came with the pasta has real garlic on it. Chefs kiss. Coming back again and next time bringing friends. This place puts other pizza and italian places to shame.“
