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.“

“The Ledo's in Fort Washington consistently provides great service. This new deal with a small pizza and a side is awesome. This meal is a perfect portion for me because I don't eat a lot but I am able to experience the great taste of the Ledo's pizza.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“That’s legit Italian food 😋🍕“

“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.“

“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 had a fantastic dinner at Thompson Italian. There were four of us, and we shared a bottle of wine and a fresh, flavorful panzanella to start. I ordered the squid ink bucatini, and it was absolutely delicious. We also tried a couple of desserts, and every bite was excellent.

We arrived around 4:15 p.m., not realizing they didn’t open until 4:30, and we didn’t have a reservation. Around 4:20, a staff member noticed us waiting outside and kindly invited us in to wait, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service throughout the meal was outstanding, and our waiter was wonderful.

Everything from the food to the hospitality was exceptional. I’ll definitely be back“

“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.“

“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!!“

“After checking into the Hampton Inn next door for our family reunion, my wife and I decided to walk over to Carrabba’s for dinner and we’re so glad we did.

We chose to sit at the bar and ended up having a great experience. We met A.J., the bartender, who was friendly and easy to talk to. We’re originally from Jersey and he’s from New York, which sparked a really good conversation and made the evening even more enjoyable.

The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor which is exactly what we needed after a long day of traveling. The atmosphere was comfortable, and everything was clean and well organized, making it a relaxing place to unwind.

If you’re staying at the Hampton Inn or just passing through Waldorf, I definitely recommend stopping by. Great food, great conversation, and an all-around enjoyable experience. We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!“

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

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

“I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Vaughn, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. From the moment we were seated, Vaughn went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. He was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely cared about making our meal enjoyable. This was our first time at The Farmhouse and Vaughn deserves recognition for making our visit memorable. I would absolutely recommend asking for him if you want top-notch service. The food was superb. There was not a single item that did exceed our expectations!“

“I really enjoyed my meal here and found the food to be incredibly comforting and well-prepared. The portions were generous, and everything tasted like it was made with real care and fresh ingredients, which is exactly what I look for in a good Italian spot. It was such a welcoming place to spend an evening, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, hearty dinner.“

“WOW! Extraordinary service. Mina went above and beyond by preparing a meal of pizza, salad, garlic knots and desserts for my group of 150. She responded to all my emails and calls promptly and confirmed that the order would be delivered on time for our group dinner. She arrived right at 6:30pm with a delicious hot meal just as we asked. As a special surprise, she put together 2 really tasty trays of desserts and a large pan of garlic knots...and this was unexpected but offered by her. That's the type of service Mina delivers...on time, hot, with a smile and a genuinely friendly heart. She was thrilled to do business with us and I look forward to working with her when we return to the DC area next fall. Thank you, Mina! You are the BEST!“

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

“Il Porto was amazing! We needed to arrange a luncheon after my mother’s funeral and they were fantastic! We only had two day’s notice. They were so accommodating and helpful. The food and room were wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the experience and we were able to focus on honoring my mom. Thank you!!!“

“This was by far the highlight of any meal we had on a 6 day trip to Alexandria/D.C. The free bus (30/31) stops right across the street and only took 15 minutes from the metro. We had the Linguine Cacio de Pepe with Chicken, Mafalde & Sausage, garlic bread and the chocolate chip cookies for dessert. It was all outstanding, excellent price and our server Rees was awesome!!!“

“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!!!“

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

“Maggio's Italiano is a hidden gem for bar and kitchen in Alexandria. The bar is a full lounge vibe — great Happy Hour 5-9PM, strong cocktails like the Tequila Sunrise and Green Tea Drop, ice-cold taps including Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing and Narragansett, and a full liquor selection with a laid-back, neon-lit lounge feel.
>
> Kitchen is impressive for the range — Italian, Greek, Mediterranean and American under one roof. The signature lasagna and baked ziti are legit game-changers, pizza is NY-style and perfect late-night, and the kabobs / chicken over rice are fire. Portions are huge, everything tastes homemade, and prices are moderate. Open late till 2am with free parking. Ask for Nikki or Suni at the bar — service makes you feel like family.“

“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“

“I wish 4.5 was an option, I would give it that rating. I just moved to the Landmark / west end Alex neighborhood so I'm trying out all the local places. I had the Sunday special which was hamburger steak and onions. I thought it was really good, the grilled onions added really nice flavor. I had it with rice which was a nice combination and a side salad. The Italian dressing was really delicious and the salad was fresh. My bf got a gyro and shoestring fries. He said the fries were really excellent and the gyro was okay. I liked that the menu had a few items typical of a Greek diner such as tuna salad plate and chef salad. They had a nice looking full bar with a few TVs and the dining area was nicely kept. Not overly fancy but nice. They had a breakfast menu but it's not served all day. We will definitely be going back to try a few other things like chicken parm or spaghetti and meatballs. I will def get the hamburger steak again. Total price for both meals plus one soda and one iced tea was $41 before the tip.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I ordered food last night and the lady that deliver my food in my car is so sweet and her smile is beautiful. I got my food hot and perfect. Will definitely go back.“

“Excellent food; great variety!“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“pizza js first class very good stuff“

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

“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.“

“Ordered online through my account and I got the pick three for $8.99 deal with Garlic Spaghetti, a Stromboli, and the Chef’s House Salad with the House Vinaigrette. Garlic bread included for free. When I tell you that this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time I really mean it. Delicious. 10/10. Will be ordering again. Great quality and quantity!“

“Very accommodating and complimentary shuttle to airport and Metro was a plus. View of city / airport was relaxing. Staff was very professional and made you feel welcomed“

“For the week we spent in the DC area this was far and away the most enjoyable and delicious meal of the trip. My partner had the stuffed trout with crabmeat. And yes real lump crab and hardly anything else. Just perfect. My stuffed shrimp was just as good. Flavoring was just right.“

“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!“

“This Pupatella is the godsend Pupatella!

I recently moved to this neighbor and the moment I started going to Pupatella, I absolutely love going this restaurant for good pizza and drink once a week or so.

There is always the positive energy and the servers here are sincere and they are always personable to talk to.

Usually Omar, Jordan, Gavin, Nadia and Seth are the people who I usually interact and they have been nice to me 200% if not 100%.

Thank you for everything as usual. I will come back here shortly but wanted to send gratitude and give credit to you all!“

“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.“

“yummy pizza and good service very delicious just love it!“

“Warm, inviting, and authentic. The only way we knew we were not in Umbria or the Veneto was that Bocelli rather than Michael Jackson was playing. Our multi-lingual server (Juan) was brilliant and the food was outstanding. We have paid much more for way less; Franco's Trattoria might very well become your next "go-to" place.“

“Most unique gelato I ever had. But it wasn’t bad! 👍🏻“

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

“Like any restaurant, the server can make or break the experience. I am doing a 5-star review because the service was exceptional. Our server today was Bahrom. He made suggestions, answered our questions and stopped by the table often. Me and my coworkers are putting this Olive Garden in our regular lunch rotation, thanks to Bahrom.“

“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!“

“I did two online orders Tuesday but not sure I got credit for it.

I ordered five Calzones, Then a few hours later I ordered eight calzones. The app was not working properly and I hit order… online Mentioned but not sure you gave me credit.

I actually am disappointed in ledos rewards program, other places will let me scan the receipt to get credit for any order type place. How much senior citizen on ordering online at times it’s difficult especially when my app crashed“

“Best. Service. Ever. Love this place!“
