27 Best Italian Restaurants near Derwood

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“I am from Baltimore and while working in Germantown I wanted something to eat other than fast food. I went into Paisano's around 530pm and was greeted so nicely by a young woman. I did not want a sub because Montgomery Co normally you get a steak um and that is what I am used too. I ordered the chicken Parmigian with pasta. Wow the sauce was amazing, pasta was perfect, the breaded chicken was covered in cheese. The garlic bread was so good. Great price, large portion that I could not finish. I told the girl behind counter that the food was awesome and it made this fatboy happy. I am 6'4 & 280lbs and I wanted to hug everyone but I did not want to scare anyone. Thank you!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We were in Gaithersburg for a soccer tournament with our son. We googled nearby Italian restaurants and stumbled upon Il pizzico. Being of Sicilian descent, I noticed they had some familiar foods you can’t just get anywhere and made a reservation. What a pleasant surprise! From the carpaccio and arancini appetizers, pasta and risotto to the gelato and cannoli desserts, everything was 5 stars. We will be back in the spring!“

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

“The pasta dishes are excellent! Gluten-free alternative penne pasta was quite yummy. I love their tangy red sauce. The eggplant parmesan was divine! And drinks are poured generously. My personal favorite was the Manhattan. Regretfully I forgot to take photos.“

“Paisano’s Pizza has a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The restaurant has a classic neighborhood pizza-shop feel where the staff are friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. The service is quick and organized, and the food always comes out hot and fresh. The pizza tastes great with a well-made crust and fresh toppings. Overall, Paisano’s Pizza is a great spot with great food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to come back. 🍕👍“

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

“We had a really good experience overall. The food was great, especially the fettuccine with shrimp and steak, that dish was honestly excellent.

The only disappointment was the shrimp linguine. The sauce didn’t taste well-balanced and it felt like it wasn’t mixed or prepared properly, which was surprising compared to how good the rest of the food was.“

“Great food! The service was great, and the people very friendly! We will definitely be returning customers!“

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

“My favorite restaurant is Gregorio"s. The food is delicious served warm, service is delightful and the place is always welcoming. If you are looking for a great meal visit Gegorio's Trattoria .“

“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“

“Good food, good service. Reasonable prices“

“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!“
