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!“

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

“Great ambiance, food and vibe“

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!“

“Great food, wines and service.“

“Great meal recently at Cucina Morini !!! The food, service and drinks were all on point !! See the photos for our recommendations !!! You can order half orders of pasta !! Perfect if you want to try different things.“

“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.“

“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 like pizza... a lot!
This place served a perfectly balanced pizza between toppings and amount of dough. The crust was just as I like it, a slight crunch but still chewy.

The only complaint was not the fault of the business, but random folks kept coming in and asking us for our pizza. I mean, that could just be a testament to the tasty pizza, everybody wants some.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The most unique and delicious Italian dinners I’ve ever had.

Our server was a master at explaining each dish on the menu and guiding us in the right direction. Of the whole menu, the starter bites are an absolute MUST. 6 different bites from different parts of Italy which are absolutely delectable. An overall fantastic dining experience.“

“Great venue with two moods: the front elegant, cozy, warm. The back a large space, bright, packed, and energetic (hard to have a conversation) like a true Italian restaurant.

It's a good Italian option in DC.

Don't miss the parmigiana di melanzane, a deconstructed unconventional execution that works. Fritto misto lightly fried, delicious!

Good carbonara, with a generous serving of very good guanciale
The agnolotti e limone : tasty but needs some tuning: dough it too tick - too much past! also difficult to cut, and, when you do, all the filling come out.

Tiramisù : not a huge fan, missed some coffee.

Enjoyed the lambrusco!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent cuisine. Conveniently loacted. Great service.“

“Delicious food-very relaxing atmosphere-friendly staff“

“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 �“

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

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

“Amazing food and service.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service! Kudos to Emily, the cashier/greeter @ the front counter, who makes the trip totally worthwhile.
Friendly, efficient, and a total hoot.
Will be a repeat customer, for her above + beyond customer service, as well as the great NY style pizza.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Best place to dine in . Also the best place in Adam Morgan Washington DC.“

“Bar del Monte is the kind of place that nails it with quality food and service, no glitz or glam needed. If you're more about great flavors than oversized American portions, this spot is for you. It’s the kind of place you could easily imagine in Italy. The pizzas are a solid 10/10, and the drinks are just as impressive. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, authentic dining experience with excellent food, this is definitely the place to be.“

“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.“

“We love going to Olive Garden and this Valentine’s Day lunch with my daughter was no different. I added our names to the waitlist online before we arrived and, even on a very busy day, we only waited about two minutes.

She always gets the kids Alfredo with broccoli and a side, and I stick with my crispy chicken fettuccine Alfredo. As usual, everything was fresh and came out great. Consistently good food and a smooth experience every time we go. (Hosts are always super friendly as well. Won’t leave them out, they start the whole experience.)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Authentic N. Italian cuisine presided over by Roberto and Ivan.“

“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!“

“I took Mom here today for her birthday and let me tell you.. I was impressed by the quality of overall service received today. Our waitress Kim was amazing and our food, drinks and desert was delicious.

Thank You Olive Garden in PG Plaza.“

“Visited Masseria on January 19, 2022. This one-star Michelin restaurant offers a tasting menu built around regional Italian dishes. Courses included branzino with sunchoke, agnolotti del plin filled with lobster and finished with basil and breadcrumbs, and strascinati with guinea fowl ragù and Parmigiano. Antipasti featured gnocco fritto with mortadella and pistachio, burrata with Wellfleet oyster and Kristal caviar, and carne cruda of Roseda Farms striploin. Dessert was torta al cioccolato with mascarpone and Okinawan black sugar gelato, followed by a Sicilian blood orange and green tea course.“

“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.“

“The BEST food, the BEST service!“

“If you like pizza, you need to order one here! They are delicious! Bartender Kimberly always gives the BEST service around, AND makes phenomenal drinks!“

“Had a lovely couples dinner and it was the perfect spot for a couple coming down from the redline and the other couple coming in on the orange line. It's hard to find good restaurants in that area but Il Piatto delivered. The food was tasty and the portions weren't overwhelming large. Our main waitress Audrey was so kind and the atmosphere was perfect. You could easily hear each other around the table but it was still lively.“
