50 Best Italian Restaurants near Forestville

“I've purchased pizza from this Ledo's a few times. I placed an order for a turkey bacon ranch pizza and I mistakenly thought the bacon was turkey bacon. It was pork bacon. I explained that I didn't eat pork and the worker quickly took my order back and made me a new pizza. He was so nice and it was ready super quick. I recommend this location!“

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

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!“

“Thank you so much for having my friends Kristina, Alex and I for dinner today. I just want to say that everything we had was great, my favorite being the la calabrese! Meiling took such good care of us, she is a wonderful host and we had some great conversations with her. We’ll def be back in the future to try some of the other pizzas. Your decor and ambience is fantastic as well, I really felt like I was at restaurant in Italy! Keep up the good work and thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“Absolutely delicious pasta and desserts (Budino!). The focaccia is every bit as good as the reviews had us believe. Would’ve preferred not to have been kept waiting after making a reservation at the front desk, but the service after we were seated was impeccable. Had a great time and will definitely be back.“

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

“The food was phenomenal - we had the beet & burrata salad, a Margherita pizza, and the wild boar tagliatelle. They have a nice wine list as well. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!!!“

“I Love Italian - and when I say this place has THE BEST MEATBALLS I've ever tasted - it's saying a lot! The mushroom gnocchi was light and delish! Not to mention the roasted cauliflower, burrata and garlic bread!! It was a feast and worth every bite! The staff was friendly, polite and aimed to please! The decor and vibe super cool. It was recommended to me by a local and when I visit DC again - this gem will be a first stop!“

“PIZZA MOVERS, TAKOMA PARK Excellent cudmstoner service; great pizza! Faster, too!“

“I like this place I would like any of the men there. I'll be good..“

“We have visited this trattoria many times. Over this time the food quality has remained at very high level. Service is excellent. The restaurant is inside a small house-like setting with three floors. Recently they raised the prices. The prices are quite high. The food was excellent. We had seafood chicken as well as other wonderful pasta dishes. I particularly liked the chicken cacciatore which was just enough spicy for my taste. All in all it is a great experience if you can pay the high prices“

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

“used to get the good fella all the time when working in Waldorf...one of the best things I ever ate.“

“We were visiting from out of town and what a great choice to go to Primo Hogies!! The whole staff was incredible!! Food was great! If anyone is on the fence about what they want to eat, this is the place to go! Thank you guys!! Looking forward to coming back!!“

“My recent experience at Olive Garden was truly exceptional, surpassing my own expectations. Because of the warm and attentive hospitality of Brittany, the my mother and I now consider this our Olive Garden home and encourage anyone reading this to visit this genuinely cozy location.“

“I’ve now dined here for dinner and brunch and both experiences were top notch. I’m impressed with the commitment to healthy foods and preparation throughout the process. The menu was intriguing and we enjoyed all of our selections. From the focaccia bread to the beets to the fennel salad and fried meatballs, the appetizers were delightful. The raviolini and beef heart bolognese pastas were remarkable too! My hubby loved his veal and the I forgot to mention all the fun mocktails (kids tried the elderberry and I enjoyed the homemade ginger ale)! I’m stoked to have this brunch option on Sundays following church now! Thank you, Team Ama!“

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

“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!!!“

“To begin, I was amazed by customer services. Every waiter that passed our table made sure to ask if we were OK or needed anything. Our waiter Vee was also exceptional. Great job to each employee working around noon on Wednesday that passed. I love great customer service when I patronize neighborhood establishments. KUDOS!“

“The food was excellent with equally excellent service. They get 5 stars.“

“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.“

“So the food is already good so no news there but the service and atmosphere were really nice. Our waiter was so nice and very professional. I wish I could remember his name but he was a tall guy with very nice locs. Great visit, I will definitely be back.“

“Anthony’s NY Pizza & Pasta House was truly a 10/10 dining experience. From the warm welcome at the door to the attentive service throughout the meal, everything was exceptional. We started with a Caesar salad and complimentary freshly baked bread with butter, which set the tone perfectly. We ordered the white pizza and the filet mignon, and both were outstanding. The pizza was cooked to perfection—the crust alone was incredible—and the flavor was on point. The wine selection was also excellent and paired well with the meal.

I would highly recommend Anthony’s to anyone looking for high-quality food and great service. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“This is a great spot for a date night or even a place to unwind after work. I love the location—it brings a much-needed economic boost to the community, which is amazing to see.
The food was really good. I do have a few personal critiques I could mention, but overall it was enjoyable and worth the wait.
Speaking of the wait, definitely bring your patience. There seemed to be a disconnect between the servers, kitchen, and host stand. We had a 1:00 PM reservation for the buffet-style breakfast but weren’t seated until around 1:30–1:40, despite several open tables. When we finally got to the buffet, most of the food was gone and we had to wait for it to be replenished.
While the service issues could use improvement, I still recommend giving them a try.“

“There awesome and a part of the community“

“If your looking for great wings and amazing subs, this is the place! I would give ten stars if I could“

“This is my favorite lunch place in DC. The food is outstanding, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant itself provides the feeling that you're enjoying a local sandwich shop. This is the best sandwich bread you can get in DC, and it's not even close. You can taste the freshness in every bite and the addition of being able to buy the meats and fresh baked rolls separately gives Salumeria a local, small-European town quality that can't be matched at other places. For this price point and this level of sandwich creation, you won't find anything better in DC. Try the Crudo, it's a classic, simple sandwich that provides rich flavors in every bite with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto that melts in your mouth.“

“Excelente servicio al cliente. Los ingredientes de muy buena calidad y el sabor es delicioso. 100% recomendado.“

“This place was recommended by a friend who lives in the area-and to him, I say THANK YOU! Everything was excellent, from the staff to the food; I couldn't have asked for better. The calamari and shrimp with peppers appetizer were possibly the best appetizer I've ever had. The lasagna was out of this world cheesy! It was delicious in every way. Highly recommend this place; you won't be disappointed!“

“Pizzarro is such a neighborhood gem! I swung by for a jumbo pepperoni slice after a late-night stroll and it hit every note—crispy crust, melty cheese, and loads of flavor. The staff was super friendly and easygoing, which made the whole vibe feel welcoming and laid-back.

I appreciate that they've got Mediterranean options too—grabbed a Greek salad one time, and it was fresh and balanced (great for pairing with their pizzas). The casual, cozy atmosphere is perfect whether you’re dining solo, grabbing friends, or craving something late at night.

Parking can be a bit tricky on Florida Ave, but trust me—it’s worth circling for. If you're ever in Shaw and want solid pizza without fuss, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“My family came here last weekend and we had a wonderful meal and the services was great! Pepperoni pizza was loaded and the sauce was awesome!! The subs were packed and flavorful and the french fries were crispy and on point. Thank you guys!!!“

“OH MY GOSH! Not only was the service the best but the food was AMAZING! Our whole group loved every bite and left satisfied! We WILL be back and recommending this place to everyone!“

“Ledo has become my families go to pizza spot when we are in the mood for pizza they have not disappointed yet from my wings being nice and crispy to the pizza 10/10 and my kids are picky eaters but they clean their whole plate when I bring Ledo“

“We ordered out and got a little of everything from here, Philly cheese steak, chicken Alfredo, pizza, mozzarella sticks, and chicken. And all of it was amazing! Absolutely recommend this especially if you're visiting the area and just want something delivered. They made sure plates and silverware were included and followed the changes requested with no problems. The driver was super nice!!“

“So good! The bread is delicious! And the service was great!“

“I grew up on Detroit style pizza being from Detroit area. I can say over the past few years Detroit style pizza has become popular. I have never had a pizza as good as this Detroit style pizza. The best, give it a try.“

“pesimas hamburguesas carne muy seca y mal sabor“

“Food is 🍕 delicious 😋 and the service is amazing“

“The service is always amazing! I enjoy bringing my family here and I don't mind spending my money. The food is great. I actually prefer this style of pizza than papa John's, domino's, etc. I do however wish this location participated in doordasheres delivery service. I appreciate you Raymond, thanks again and best of luck to you!“

“Mohamed’s Pizza is a hidden gem. The pizza is always fresh, the flavors are on point, and the service is top-tier. I’ve brought a few of my friends here and they all love it — it’s officially a regular spot for us now. Highly recommend.“

“The reviews of this place are absurd. This place has the best vibes and the food is incredible. The chefs attention to detail are noticed. I get why they can’t have a place open that often. You will never wait and the vibes are right. The wine is incredible. Dine in. I love eating at this bar so much. MGM has made major quality improvements overall. You will not regret this meal.“

“Food is great. The young female at the counter that took my order was like a robot. She had no personality and seemed a lil scary, like horror movieish. She wasn't rude or anything just them deep cold glassy eyes. White female, glasses and blonde hair.
But pizza was delicious.“

“Great friendly service! excellent food, any selection of food here is cooked with love and care. I highly recommend their meatball sub especially. They have the softest sub rolls, even when they are toasted. you definitely get your money's worth!“

“I ordered online, arrived 30 mins later just to wait another 40 mins. A bunch of people were waiting and they keep cooking orders for people who weren't there. They should prioritize waiting customers. The two cashiers (Indian guy and the lady) seemed confused under the pressure so they messed up things. I understand it was on Halloween night but they were lacking organization.“

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday party here and had a great experience! The manager and bartender were fantastic- very attentive and helpful. Our guests raved about the food and service. We’re big fans of Pizzeria Paradiso in general, but highly recommend if you’re looking to rent out the space for an event.“

“This establishment is in my hometown so I wanted to support it. I ordered 10 sub sandwiches to be cut in 4 pieces to feed a gathering of bridge players at The Washington Bridge Unit this afternoon. I worked with Geraldo who listened to what I needed and came up with a perfect combination of sandwiches and offered a small discount so that the purchase was within budget, The sandwiches were delivered for free perfectly packed and perfectly delicious. Everyone raved about them! I would definitely use them for other events…. Please remember to buy local - P“
