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.“

“I meet with friends this great spot often! This is my favorite restaurant to pass a nice evening. I go there at least once a month. The meals are excellent, the staff is professional and the charge is fair. I enjoy meeting in this restaurant to have a rich meal.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“We were tired from touring all day and the clerk at Springhill Suites recommended an Italian place “just around the corner”. As we got closer, we could detect delicious smells in the air. As we entered, a cheery staff greeted us, and the cozy space was decorated with lots of photographs and traditional green and white checked tablecloths. We were offered fresh garlic bread while we looked over the menu. We both decided on the “individual” pizza, but let me tell you, us 2 ladies could’ve easily just split one! The veggie pizza was soooo fresh and yummy. If we’re ever in the area again, would definitely go back!“

“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??“

“We were in Waldorf staying at Hampton Inn Suites and walked over for dinner and we were pleasantly pleased. T The food came out quick and hot and delicious. Our waiter, Austin, was so kind and gracious and just the nicest guy. We tried to get back there but unfortunately we
were not able to make it back. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! This review is super late, but I figured better late than never. I ordered delivery from Thompson's Alexandria location on April 29th and there was an issue with one of the items. I called the restaurant and Cindy answered the phone and provided amazing service. She was receptive, efficient, came up with a creative and personalized solution and did it with the utmost professionalism and kindness. I also asked her who the chef was because the food was superb. She informed me that it was Chef Lucy and she was also an integral part of this success story. Thank you to Thompson for the impressive service and memorable meal. Please keep this up, its hard to find.“

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

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

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

“My wife and I visited Rucci"s Italian Kitchen & Grill today. It was our first time at the establishment. The food was tastful and the atmosphere was fine. The only reason I cannot give it five stars is our server Jessica was very inattentive to us as we watch other servers in the area cater to their assigned tables constantly insuring their patrons had everthing they needed. I needed water as my glass was empty. When our server finally returned, I stated I could use some water, she never acknowledge me and walk away with our utensils. Moments later another young lady shows up to fill my glass with water. So it was obvious my server heard me but didn't acknowledge my request vocally. I can overlook a dish I didn't like, this wasn't the case here. But bad service really turns me off. Everyone esle who came by our table i.e. management and possible the owner I'm not sure, were polite and courteous.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“2260 Lounge relaxing place to chill it’s setup you basement with big soft couches staff works together to serve you I love the pizza. But if you get sick. Order the chicken and rice soup. Chucks of chicken and rice this make feel better 🙌🤟🙏 they are on the door dash and. Uber eats. If you close give them a call 📞 or there website my top 5 in the DMV. Thanks Dave a good owner. He walk around and talk to the guesstimate

Vegetarian options: They make it for you

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Big front door“

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

“A wonderful place off the beaten path to enjoy a great dinner, nice bottle of wine and wonderful service! The appetizers, entrees and desserts are all excellent. They make you feel at home and you will not go away hungry. Nice atmosphere for enjoying friends and family or a place to just chill!“

“Excellent food; great variety!“

“Stopped in for lunch today. Very quiet as it was right when they opened 11am Sunday. Ruby was our server. She was excellent! Great customer service was observed, not just at my table but the others around me. The food was ok, but the atmosphere was excellent.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The food seem a bit scare. They didn't bring a full bowl of soup. When asked to refill the soup the server brought out a small helping. The server barely came to the table. Asked server to bring soup and salad after the appetizer and she brought out everything at once.🤨“

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

“Great food and kind staff!! Meatball appetizer is GREAT. Kid menu is awesome too. I got the house salad and it was loaded with good stuff. Wife got the ravioli. The cooking staff seemed really happy to be making the dishes too. I’d come back here again!!

Fatshue was our waitress and she is so kind and attentive.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely amazing! We brought it home and it was hot and I have to say that the cranberry sauce was delicious! Thank you so much for the delicious and super easy dinner! We will definitely be back!“

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