“You place your order and seat where you please. We ordered the Lasagna pizza and Garlic knots. The garlic knots were delivered to us. The were awesome 6 good sized knots with garlic butter over them. The sauce was included. It was delivered to our table. The pizza was delicious.Its NY style pizza. I love the crust because it had a crunch on the bottom crust. Make sure to tip because they do bring your food to the table and clean up when you leave. I will return.“

“Excellent food and customer service for catering! My daughter’s field hockey team was playing at UMD and we wanted to host a post game dinner/tailgate for the team and parents. I’m so glad I discovered Paisano’s! They were so kind and accommodating from the moment I placed the order up until delivery - I even called them 30 min. before our order was scheduled to be delivered to see if they could come later as the game went into overtime and they accommodated us! We ordered the baked ziti, garlic spaghetti, chicken Alfredo, and garden salad. (They also offer gluten sensitive pasta which was a big plus.) The food was delicious and delivered right on time and the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend their catering services!“

“Still smiling after an unforgettable birthday dinner at Trattoria Sorrento in Bethesda! Celebrated with my family—and the 3 generations of family behind the scenes who crafted one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The veal ravioli bolognese was out of this world—homemade, heartfelt, and absolutely delicious. Huge thanks to the Trattoria Sorrento family for making it so special. If you’re looking for authentic Italian with real soul, this is the spot. Grateful for the food, the warmth, and the memories. 🇮🇹🍷🎉 #TrattoriaSorrento #BethesdaEats #ItalianFoodLove #BirthdayDinnerDoneRight #FamilyTradition #VealRavioliDreams“

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

“The salad at $8.50 was overpriced. It had a quarter of a tomato, just a few onions, and hardly any other veggies. The bread was tasteless. It was served cold and the crust was too soft. The main course of linguine and clams was fine. The service was a little slow.“

“Let me tell you — Rome Pizza is a hidden gem! The pizza is always hot, fresh, and made with love. I stop by for the lunch special more often than I should (my high blood pressure reminds me every time 🤣), but it’s just that good!

Now let’s talk about the berry juice — my goodness! It’s honestly out of this world. Fresh, perfectly sweet, and ice-cold — it’s like something you’d find at a fancy café, not your everyday pizza spot. You can tell they make it with real fruit and care.

I had the pleasure of meeting Terry and his wife, and they are just the sweetest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. You can feel their pride and passion in every bite and sip.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor — grab a slice and that berry juice. Thank me later!“
