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. 😊“

“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??“

“Five stars are not enough for this amazing Italian restaurant. From the friendly greeting to the helpful and professional service (thank you Mike), Thompson’s Italian fires on all cylinders. The setting is attractive and relaxed and the menu sports a variety of Italian dishes. It’s the kitchen that’s the real star at this restaurant, turning out wonderfully creative dishes that are delicious and beautifully presented.
Thompson’s Italian is worth a trip to savor amazing Italian cuisine in a relaxed, yet romantic atmosphere. I cannot wait to return.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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!!!“

“I loved the fun ambience of the restaurant and that it was casual! All the food we ordered was great and was fairly priced as well! I got the burrata, Italian salad, lasagna, and tiramisu and loved it all! They have an option where you can build your own pasta as well!“

“Maggio’s is a little hitting gemgem that I never knew existed!

I wash my clothes at the laundromat that is next-door and one day I ordered some food to go, and little did I know that there is a bar inside this place

So on my first visit, I got chicken wings to go and they were absolutely amazing. The chicken wings were bigger than normal and after four wings I was full.

On my next visit while washing clothes, I went over and ended up having a couple of drinks in the bar area. Everybody welcomed to me like family. All the employees are very nice and respectful, and the patrons are very social. I enjoyed having my drinks and food with a great atmosphere.

The food here is absolutely amazing. The chicken kebab is my favorite. The portions were generous and I had plenty for leftovers.

The location is just outside old town but well worth the visit. Whether you are grabbing food to go, or having a drink, Maggio’s is such a great place to eat, drink and meet friendly people.“

“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!“

“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 came in for lunch and sat at the bar. I didn’t know the treat I was in for as there are many mediocre options and this was my first visit. Corso was a treat. I had the orecchiette and sausage and could happily live on it for a week straight. The pasta had the perfect amount of salt in the water as the flavor didn’t wash out.“

“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 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 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 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!!“

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

“pizza js first class very good stuff“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“we went there for a date night and it was perfect. the pasta was fresh and the sauce was amazing, i could tell it was homemade. the waiter was super nice and gave us great suggestions. the tiramisu was the best i have ever had, seriously. it was a little pricey but totally worth it for the quality. we are already planning to go back next month.“

“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!“

“Food was excellent and plenty of it. The server was friendly and quick to bring the food to the table. My only problem was the device used to pay the bill. Somewhat hard to use and the waiter had to help us with it. Seems to make things easier for the restaurant and not the guests. Also don't agree with using the device to play games and having to pay for them. Come on 3 people for lunch came to over $80.00. Charging for the games is excessive.“

“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!“

“We’ve been getting pizza here for many years. The pizza is consistently excellent and always arrives hot. I adore all of the delivery drivers. They always smile BIG and sometimes even chat a bit!

When we go into the resturant to eat we’re always well taken care of.

They have stayed fair with their prices despite the opportunity to raise them especially the last several years.

Overall excellent staff and food. I’m from the Midwest so I like a certain style of pizza and Pizanos always hits the spot!“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“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 attended a special dinner event at osteria costa on Friday April 27th it was a absolutely spectacular the live music and the food and specially the service Joel and Hugo were highly professional they were responsive of all my requests they never leave any empty glassed they replaced the silverware few times I really admired their full attention to details I highly recommend this place also Sunday beach is something to try .
Special thanks to Joel and Hugo for their excellent service.“

“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.“

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

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

“Fast and delicious. Everything was great and we will come back soon.“
