Italian Restaurants near Fort Washington

“We have been happy customers of this Pizza Boli location for 5 years. We order 2-8 times a month. We order for both our family meals and for large groups of guests at our home who enjoy the variety and quality of the pizzas and wings. Our gatherings are very popular due to the pizza!!

We have nothing but the best feedback on all the varied pizza, sandwiches, and bowls we have tried and shared. Service is fast. Food always arrives hot, with cheese still melted.

Delivery team does a good job finding us, and (Google maps does not).

On very rare occasion, there have been issues with the app, and these have been sorted out to our satisfaction.

My house recommends this Pizza Boli wholeheartedly. I'm ordering again right now.“

“Great experience as far as I'm concerned. Ordered our usual order with customizations and found the experience to be the same high quality as any other location. Bathroom was a little dirty/gross, but whatever. I'm not eating pizza in there. 😊“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“We could not believe our luck finding this gem of a place, whilst on holiday from Scotland! The food? What can I say to make folk reach out to you? Just go and you’ll experience the most wonderful home cooked food and the greatest ambience! .. staff and management couldn’t make you feel more welcome! Keep the good work up and hopefully see you next visit! You’ll be our “ go to restaurant” Thank you PS - our town Dundee in Scotland is “twinned” ( sister) with yourselves .. who would have known eh??“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere. The GM, Rodney took extra care to learn and remember our names. This added to a welcoming sense of hospitality that my friend and I immediately appreciated. We’ll be back!“

“If you have not tried the monthly wine and food tasting experience at Carrabba's you are missing a wonderful treat. They offer delicious eats that are amazing and not on the regular menu with great wine pairings. They even give you an extra tasting for each wine. I have found two great wines because of this experience. Great for a girlfriends night out or for date night. Enjoy!“

“Wow. What a great experience! This place is a real gem. Coming from New York and Philadelphia we have experienced excellent Italian for years. After relocating here a few years back and trying many restaurants in the area this is by far the best Italian we have had in the DMV. Lucy is an amazing chef and host and their menu and specialities are some of the best we have experienced. So excited to have this as a dinner option downtown. We will be back soon!!“

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

“Good food. Doesn’t matter what you get it’s all delicious.“

“As part of the US Army, I was sustained in Italy many years ago. I have struggled until now to find quality, amazing tasting Italian food. Mamma's Kitchen in Alexandria surpassed all expectations. Every course of the meal was just what you would expect when dining in Italy. Thanks for the great experience and for the memories it brought back.“

“One of the most delicious Italian dinners I have ever had. Everything was a Authentic and a Quality ingredient and well prepared.“

“Always amazing! Perfect place to go any night of the week!“

“YUM! First let’s talk about the desserts. We waived the appetizers so we could try some yummy Italian desserts and man oh man they didn’t disappoint! My fave was the apple pie doughboy, freshly baked apples with a hint of a crunch still in them, wrapped in delicately flavored dough, this was the perfect treat and not overly sweet. Now the decadent chocolate cake was a rich flavorful indulgent dream come true. The whipped even tasted fresh. These freshly made desserts were worth the wait. Oh and one dessert is perfect for 2 to share.
The eggplant parm and lasagna were wonderful entrees and we’ll be back to try the whole menu!“

“On a whim stopped in here to give it a try. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very friendly staff, and Family owned and operated. Really great pizza with real ingredients no harmful chemicals or fake toppings. Very reasonable prices too. Glad to know about this spot. Will def be back!“

“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!!“

“Great brunch experience. A restaurant does not have to be perfect to have a great experience and meal. My wife and I decided to try brunch and had a really nice time. Clean and friendly with nice decor and better atmosphere. Food was top notch! Fresh ingredients, well prepared, and appropriately seasoned. I have had eggs Benedict the world over and this was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Two issues were our server, and most of the service team honestly, seemed a bit inexperienced and our peach Bellini. It definitely was not a peach Bellini.

I would definitely be willing to give Corso a try if in the neighborhood.“

“I have dined at this restaurant numerous times since April 2024. They have greeted me at the door and have made me feel like I was a real VIP customer. The food has always been delicious , my favorite is the Tuscan Chicken. The bar menu up stairs- Martini's are absolutely fabulous. I look for this to be my hangout meeting spots for business. I appreciate the warm welcoming feeling I get when I visit.“

“We go frequently. Love this place and of course tonight did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious. The baked pasta special and my go to gnocchi along with the best Caesar salad always yummy bread snd fantastic tiramisu made for an awesome dinner and night out. Also yummy refreshing cocktails!“

“I was pleasantly struck by the harmonious balance of flavors in the pasta dish—each bite a delicate interplay of textures and spices, served in a setting that was both quietly refined and warmly inviting, making the meal a genuine pleasure.“

“We love the food… we eat here often when in Alexandria. Spaghetti Carbonara is one of my favorites! And, my 7-year old grandson gives the kids spaghetti 2 thumbs up!“

“I ordered a special dish that was not in the menu and I was surprised to experience a restaurant that will cater to what I want to eat. The squid alla marinara pasta sautéed perfectly blended with the right spices and herbs. I tasted basil and it was minty and really satisfied my appetite. Thank you for the extra freshly made bread, salad with the special house sauce + the tiramisu for the dessert. This is my second time to visit this restaurant and I will surely come back the next time we are in the neighborhood. Grazie!!!“

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

“Just had an amazing brunch at this great restaurant! The chicken and waffles were the best I've ever had! Highly recommend! 🍽️🍗🧇“

“This is my spot! Been coming to La Casa for over 40 years and the food has always been on point. It's a great feeling knowing we have a local family owned small business in Alexandria that is successful. Thank you for the many memories you all have provided over the years through great food, and atmosphere. Keep up the great work. Thank you.“

“The Buffalo Chicken pizza and Buffalo wings are delicious!“

“The staff was so amazing and truly made the night awesome. I mentioned at the end of the night it was an early birthday present for my boyfriend and they surprised us with cake that also had a candle. The food was exceptional and the staff made it even better. Will definitely be back!!“

“New Mosaic location just opened and it’s great. The pizza is fantastic, actually cooked with some nice crisp and char like the northern pizza snob in me likes. I also had a chicken parm sub that was fantastic. Haven’t tried the cold subs yet but there’s always tomorrow hah. The location is great on the bend of District Ave looking out down the street and they smartly installed a retractable front wall that can be opened for open air on nice days/evenings (or if Covid decides to play some more games here in the future). Also some select patio seating which is nice as well!“

“I went there the other day and oh my gosh was the food so good, And i got the pleasure to have Yolonnie as my waitress, she was amazing, the absolute best, she made me have a great experience. She was very nice. The food was good and i didn’t wait that long.“

“Excellent food; great variety!“

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

“Magically amazingly terrible experience. A rat crawled up my arm right into my mouth! YUM! It danced in my stomach before being digested.“

“I really appreciate this hidden gem! Everything I've tried here is incredibly tasty, and the exceptional customer service from Gloribel, Isabella, and Destiny keeps me coming back. Plus, the delicious margaritas are a perfect way to unwind after a long day at work. I definitely recommend this spot to others, including friends who are visiting from out of town. They also offer catering for work events, which is a great bonus!“

“I got the all you can eat pasta with angel hair and the creamy mushroom sauce. I forgot the five dollar all you can eat topping of chicken, so I decided to go without that the rest of my plates. The plates come out fast. We had a party of four and two got soup, two got salads. We were only given one order of breadsticks and told they ran out. We left 15 minutes before closing. I still feel like they could’ve brought us some more breadsticks…

Another friend got a lasagna plate, someone else got the pasta and I forget what our other person ordered.

The two of us got soup got the gnocchi soup. That’s always my favorite. It was brought out a normal portion sizes, and super hot. I like that the service was fast because in the past when I got that all you can eat things they take really long time.

The pasta portions for all you can eat, were normal size the first time the other times in a smaller plate, but I felt like it was about the same portions.

The waitress did give us containers to take them to go, including any leftover soup. I thought that was cool. Some places that do all you can eat don’t let you do that.

We went on a Monday night. There was many tables empty. We arrived at 8 o’clock. They close at 10. That was a sufficient amount of time to spend eating and enjoying friends.

I ordered a piña colada that was really good and in a gigantic cup. They did no ice in my cup of water.

I hope this helps you out !“

“Today I visited Paisanos again. In my opinion, the food is excellent and very delicious. I have never had any problems, but I want to highlight that the attention of the cashier Bruno is excellent. There have been several opportunities in which I have been served by Bruno and I have always received the best attention. He is always attentive and fast. His joy and professionalism make him stand out and that gives a plus to the restaurant, many congratulations.“

“Fine Italian dining with a moderna vibe at SOCCI, located within the Renaissance in Crystal City. Open air kitchen and cool bar scene add to the ambience. Excellent food and service. The “large” portions were generous, perfect to split or opportune for takeaway. In hindsight I should have gotten the small portion of Bolognese but definitely enjoyed the leftovers!“

“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!“

“Major Kudos to Paisano’s Pizza Crystal City for going above and beyond on my Valentines Day Request. The store manager enthusiastically agreed to my request for a heart-shaped pizza. They even added a special message in the box which was a pleasant surprise. And to really make this the best experience, the manager delivered the pizza personally. #bestcustomerserviceever“

“They do buffalo chicken pizza right! Buffalo Sauce, Pizza Cheese, (CRISPY) Buffalo Chicken, Gorgonzola Cheese and Red Onions. -->All other ways of doing buffalo chicken pizza are incorrect! Most pizza places just use hot sauce and grilled chicken, which is boring. So, kudos to Paisano's for doing it the right way!

Their hot buffalo wings are probably the best local pizza take-out wings in the DMV. You will be very pleasantly surprised!

Their regular pepperoni pizza with just red sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is above average. It is nowhere near the best pizza in the area, but you absolutely won't be disappointed if you order it either. ... but based on the delicious buffalo chicken pizza and wings, I'm giving them 5/5!“

“Have been ordering here for years, great service and the pizza is always good. Plenty of deals to be had. Paisanos is my go-to spot for a reason. Pizza comes early and the quality is always on point. I'm also a fan of the subs, and the wings are mad good too. Also a local NoVA business, you can't go wrong with Paisanos.“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“No complaints it was all good and so was the service. .. I will return“

“I honestly don't know where to start. Simply put, Bond 45 is nothing short of amazing! All of the food was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to dessert, there was not one entree that was less than perfect! We had and highly recommend the following dishes: Meatballs- the mix of proteins made these a delicious choice! Garlic Bread...needs no introduction! Caprese Salad...the fresh mozzarella was so fresh and creamy! Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken - was my daughter's fan favorite and the pasta tasted homemade! Filet with roasted potatoes...all seasoned well and cooked to perfection! The steak had a good char while being super tender and flavorful! Sangria - is my mother in love's favorite! Cheesecake and Chocolate cake- OMG, don't skip dessert! You will regret it! The restaurant has a friendly, comfortable fine dining atmosphere that perfect for a fancy date night or a casual dinner! The restaurant has spectacular views of the harbor and ferris wheel, which makes it a fun and memorable experience! While the food and the restaurant were nothing short of spectacular, it was the employees of the establishment that truly made our night! My mother in law is a regular and the staff treat her like family! From the hostess and servers to the general manager, Johnny, they all did everything they could to turn a regular night out into something really special! It was my first time at the restaurant, and I was blown away by our experience. Sending a huge thanks to Johnny and the staff of Bond 45 for running such an amazing restaurant. I highly recommend making them a regular stop when you visit the National Harbor!“

“Can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner! Calamari tasted a lot better than it smelled (and in fairness it could’ve been the marinara I smelled). But idc, was super delicious. And the bartender and owner were super friendly.“

“I just had a slice of Chicken a la vodka and steak and cheese and an order of garlic knots. It was amazing! I highly recommend Johnny's New York Style Pizzeria if you are looking for the New York style dining experience.“

“Chef Joe and his team really helped make my first time eating here really amazing. From great service to Chef Joe himself just being really great to talk to to the food being AMAZING. Some of the best pasta I've EVER had! Looking forward to seeing them all working there next time I come!“

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

“There are many Ledo restaurants and as you know the quality is not the same. This one however is one of the GREAT ones! The pizzas are made and cooked perfectly (especially well done). I cannot tell you how many Ledo franchises cannot get this right and they are one of the first local innovators of this. The quality of food carries through to their salads and other items as well. Thanks for your attention to detail..“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“
