41 Best Italian Restaurants near Colesville

“Great pizza, salads and pastas. Nice location with easy parking.“

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

“Acqua Bistecca was a 10/10 from beginning to end! Everything about this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere, aesthetics, service, and food were all outstanding.

Every dish we ordered was delicious. The calamari was perfectly cooked, the pasta was flavorful, the pork chops were excellent, and the Caesar salad was easily one of the best I’ve had an absolute 10/10.

The service made the experience even better. The manager was incredibly kind and welcoming, and our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great time.

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a birthday, date night, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Acqua Bistecca. I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be back!“

“We visited for a celebratory lunch today, and Ryan took wonderful care of us! We ordered the focaccia appetizer, one Caesar salad (which we shared), and we each ordered the half-size Fusilli Bolognese. All items were outstanding and Ryan gave us some extra touches to make our event special. We’ll be back for our next celebration!“

“My first time at this restaurant for a fabulous shared birthday party. It was amazing. Not only the party and the staff, but the cuisine! ❤️ The appetizers (some of the freshest, delecate, perfectly prepared calamari), desserts (all amazing), main dishes (I had the salmon...yum!), but that salad dressing!!! It is the most delicious, freshest of flavors! Many of us purchased a bottle to bring home (I live in another state) and enjoy it immensely. i wished I lived nearby. I highly recommend this amazing place!“

“Olazzo catered a recent birthday party for us. Everything about the experience was first rate. Scott Crivella was extremely helpful in finagling the menu. The food was delivered right on time and was ready to serve. Our guests were delighted with the chicken Marsala, mango salmon, penne marinara, antipasto platter and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a great dinner on our way to Charlottesville… 👍. Thank you.“

“Delicious food. We just had our dinner delivered to the pool. Lasagna, Broccoli, Caesar Salad. The family raved about it and had 3+ servings, kids included.“

“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.“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Italian in Washington, D.C. and perfect location if taking the metro. Get off at friendship heights and your right across the street from this jewel of a place“

“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.“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“The pizza and salad today was extra amazing!!! Delivery was right on time and everything was perfect for my Sunday working crew. Eight pizza and full tray of salad is no small order and everything was perfect. The service is always friendly and professional for all my requests. Thank you for your hard work in this cold weather!!!“

“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“

“This restaurant has become a family favorite! My husband and I regularly come for date nights, but we also love to bring the whole family. The rockfish dish is my regular order, but the veal scallopini, mussels, and the chicken piccata are other family favorites. They are all delicious and we have yet to order a dish here that isn’t perfect. We have also hired them for catering and they did an excellent job. Highly highly recommend going, you will not be disappointed.“

“Friendly, quaint and delicious food. Great service. What more do you need“

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

“You just can't go wrong with Olive Garden—the food always hits right.
We made sure to get there right before the Sunday crowd hit, and it was the perfect timing. Because it wasn't packed yet, the service was incredibly quick and easy. We got our food fast, and everything tasted great as usual.
Pro Tip: If you're planning a weekend visit, definitely try to beat the peak lunch/dinner rush to get the fastest service!“

“For $20, you get a lot of food! I ordered the meatball platter, which comes with two sides. And they pile the sides high! Small but charming little restaurant. It's like a little gem in a neighborhood type of vibe. Isabella was my server and she was great!“

“Good food, good service. Reasonable prices“

“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!“

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

“food is authentic; young server is very nice“

“PIZZAS 🤯🥰🍕 You can really taste the fresh ingredients Topping Double Chicken and Kalamata Olives .
It’s perfectly cooked One of the best pizzas I’ve had ; The cheesecake was a bit disappointing for me. It seems to be made with Gouda cheese, which made the texture chewy rather than creamy. I think it would work much better with a smooth cream cheese, and maybe a bit more sugar, vanilla, and some whipped cream for a softer texture.“

“I visited this place for my second time, and the overall experience was very good.
The food was great and well cooked, I ordered the Bisteca( ribeye steak) and the steak was cooked just fine. The appetizer was fantastic “calamari’s, meatballs and desert tiramisu “The service and staff did a good job, they were attentive and right on time.

I will definitely recommend this place if you are looking for good food and cozy place, there is also a free parking space in the back.

Stop by and taste some good food.

Sincerely,
Jose L Guzman“
