“Tried this new restaurant in Bethesda. The service was excellent. Even got to chat with the owner’s mother. The appetizers were very good. The fish dish was superb and the spaghetti dish with clams was good although they were small. Apple cake was a nice desert and the sambuca was good but lacking the coffee beans. Only negative thing was the noise. Could barely hear the server. But I would definitely go back.“

“Exemplary! We dined here first because it is so close to the Strathmore concert venue but have been back for a a total of five visits in less than a year. I've never had a bad dish. The pizza is fantastic (crust and toppings, red and white), the salads are fresh, and the side dishes are delicious and fun to share. How many fast casual restaurants serve mussels? Piccoli Piatti has several different versions and all the ones we've tried have been great--save your pizza crust for sopping up the goodness. Service is friendly and efficient. We showed up one Friday or Saturday during the dinner rush. The line was from the counter to the door but it moved quickly. I can't wait to go back! (PS: If you save room--sometimes we don't--there is an ice cream shop several doors down.)“

“I wanted to post an update since my last review. I’m so impressed at the professionalism and follow up I received from the manager after my feedback. Ms. Robertson was thoughtful. Kind and helpful in discussing what happened and she also rectified the situation by providing gift certificates so we can have another opportunity to go back to the restaurant. Thank you for taking care of your customers. We are very pleased with this outcome.“

“Gregorio's catered our Super Bowl party and the quality of the food made for a great success. Here's something you may not know (yet) - Gregorio's wings are FANTASTIC! They went faster than all of the homemade potluck dishes our guests brought. Pizza is consistently delicious (why we order from Gregorio's in the first place). But the wings....! Best I've had in years!“

“If you find yourself in the Bethesda MD area I recommend checking out Olazzo. The best calamari I've ever tasted. Dinner and bread hit the mark. Anthony had eggplant Parmesan, linguine and sausage. The sausage was amazing. There were a couple other choices I wish I had time in town to try. Very quaint neighborhood restaurant. Server was attentive and very friendly.“

“I made reservations ahead of time for Valentine's Day and we were immediately seated. We ordered the pizza del campo, ravioles 4 quesos, rigatoni frank sinatra and the fettuccine alla bolognese. The service and atmosphere were excellent. The only comment I have is that the sausage was missing from our pizza. Otherwise, I'd recommend La Panetteria to anyone looking for good Italian food!“

Ledo Pizza Deluxe

“My kids and I love the pizza at River Road Ledo's. It's a great value; we get 2+ nights worth of pizza for the same amount we'd spend at other pizza places for 1 night. The small square pieces are perfect for younger kids. Take-out orders are ready fast, the online ordering is easy, and you can pick up without waiting in line.The people there are always friendly and the owner is very responsive. We had a small issue with a recent order that I notified them about online. He called me twice and went over and above by sending us some gift certificates. We're very thankful to have such a great locally owned pizza place nearby.“

“First time back in a long long time(moved out of town many years ago), but was a regular back in the 90's. Food was great, my dish of seafood and pasta was outstanding. The service was a slow but they were busy, my daughter carbonara was way below acceptable, though she asked for fettuccine instead of pasta- but that should not have changed the dish much.“
