21 Best Italian Restaurants in Frederick

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant ( I think my favorite restaurant ) yesterday . I had to change the time of my reservation while already at the restaurant due to late arrival of the others in my group. They graciously switched the reservation . Enrico was very helpful with a few other concerns I had about my group. The bartender was friendly and made an amazing drink while I waited for my company to arrive . Our waiter Marcello was wonderful and the food was melt in your mouth delicious ! They also have gluten free pasta and pizza dough in case someone in your group is gluten free. Can’t say enough about this restaurant that makes you feel like you are part of the family !“

“Stopped after a day of soccer games. We ordered two pies to share with our party of 4 - Supreme Italiano and a Margeritha. Pies were huge!!! Freshly made in a wood fire oven. Great service and value!! Spacious indoor and outdoor seating!! Highly recommend!!!“

“First time there, the food was delicious. Best we've had in years. The arancini were crispy and hot with a delicious tomato sauce. I had shrimp arrabbiata. Fantastic. Andrea had the mushroom ravioli. That was an earthy, tasty treat pack with mushrooms. Love the cafe style. Will go back as often as we can.“

“This is a new restaurant that is still working out the kinks. There was some confusion at the host/hostess stand about who was being seated where. Service was decent for a new place but still it was a little slow. The food was quite good. One of us had Chicken Marsala which was very good but it didn't have a traditional marsala sauce. Whatever it was, it was tasty. The other had Veal Parm. It was also quite good but the pasta sauce had an unusual flavor that was slightly off-putting We would be happy to return and try some other dishes but for one factor: Fox News on the TV in the bar. Watch it at home if you like but don't make me watch it.“

“The real one.“

“Our high school volleyball team banquet was held at Pistarro’s in the Amalfi room. Donna and the rest of the staff was amazing. They had the room set up beautifully and the food was great. Thank you for making it easy to celebrate our athletes!“

“First time there this afternoon with my family and we left feeling wonderful because of how genuinely kind the guy working the front was. Pizza was great and so was the steak and cheese but honestly it just feels so good these days to be treated so nice like family.“

“Jonathan from Toppings Pizza Company delivered our order promptly and provided excellent service. This was our first time ordering from here, and we’ll definitely be coming back for more. The pizza was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations!“

“Excellent food with a fabulous staff.“

“I’ve never had a bad meal from this place. And the staff is so super friendly every time I go in. My favorite sandwich there is the blackened chicken sandwich, it is absolutely amazing. You don’t get that real thick chicken breast they actually either pound it or cut it in half so it’s much thinner and it’s so much nicer to eat that way and the flavor for the blackened chicken is incredible. Their pizza taste great and my coworker loves their salads. If you haven’t been you need to go they even do a lunch buffet Monday through Friday.“

“Our waitress Ava was the best waiter I’ve ever had at this Olive Garden. I’ve been going to this location for years but on Sunday we had the pleasure of getting sat in Ava’s section. She was so friendly, always checked in on us when it was needed, and made sure we had the best experience. The next time I go I definitely would want to be seated in her section again.“

“Thank you Roz and staff for a lovely lunch on Sunday...“

“My all time favorite pizza has been Ledo. I love the crust, the sauce, the cheese… their toppings are always great. I’ve tried two different locations in Gaithersburg. This location in Frederick, is the best Ledo Pizza I’ve ever had. We like our pizza well done and they didn’t burn it. It has always been fresh and hot when we pick it up. Best Ledo Location Ever!“

“Good service, fabulous pizza and wings.“

“Best fish counter of any grocery store in the area. Very well organized, super clean, and very enticing displays. There is always a large whole fish, spectacular lobster tails, oysters or pikes of sea scallops, etc. couldn’t resist loading up on king salmon on the latest trip; it was delicious, pan fried with butter and rosemary. Staff is always very well informed about their products and helpful about cooking ideas.“
