“This place has the most delicious pizza in MoCo. The toppings are generous and the sauce is fresh and delicious. My favorite part of a good pizza is the crust and Paisanos has perfected it! Crunchy but soft on the inside, and nice and garlicky. If you’re like me and you think Ledo’s crust is too undercooked, Pizza Hut’s crust is too greasy, Dominos’ is usually burnt and Papa John’s crust is flavorless and rock hard, YOU WILL LOVE PAISANOS. Crust done right! (The customer service is amazing too, the guys are so polite and patient, it’s really wonderful)“

Even though there a couple of tables for dining in, it is a small place and meant mostly for take out and delivery.“

“I ordered Manhattan pizza after seeing so many great reviews. Everyone is right about the pizza, it's pretty good and one of the closest to NY style I have found in the area (I am from NY). I couldn't find any reviews talking about the chicken parm so I took a chance and tried it. I would not order it again to be honest. The chicken and breading were very mushy, there was very little sauce on the pasta and the flavor was mediocre at best. There was a ton of cheese on top which somewhat redeemed it. Overall I would stick to their pizza but I would definitely order from them again!“

“I am from Baltimore and while working in Germantown I wanted something to eat other than fast food. I went into Paisano's around 530pm and was greeted so nicely by a young woman. I did not want a sub because Montgomery Co normally you get a steak um and that is what I am used too. I ordered the chicken Parmigian with pasta. Wow the sauce was amazing, pasta was perfect, the breaded chicken was covered in cheese. The garlic bread was so good. Great price, large portion that I could not finish. I told the girl behind counter that the food was awesome and it made this fatboy happy. I am 6'4 & 280lbs and I wanted to hug everyone but I did not want to scare anyone. Thank you!“

“😊🌟 Fontina Grill: Where Dining Becomes an Art Form! 🌟 If excellence could be served on a platter, Fontina Grill would be the Michelin-starred sculptor behind it. From the moment I walked in, I felt like royalty who somehow stumbled upon the holy grail of Italian restaurants in the DMV. I’m never going anywhere else, because clearly, this place was crafted by the pasta gods themselves. Now, let’s talk about Declan. This man is not just a waiter—he’s a hospitality virtuoso, a maestro of service. Declan served with the kind of confidence, precision, and charm that one would expect only in dreams or in five-star Italian dining halls on the Amalfi Coast. His attentiveness was nonplussable (and yes, I dare you to try and outdo it). I wouldn’t be surprised if he moonlights as a diplomat or a secret agent because his service was that smooth. Jennifer, his right-hand helper, deserves a standing ovation. She made everything seamless, adding warmth, grace, and an extra sparkle to an already stellar experience. I’m convinced they have some secret handshake, a dance of synchronized efficiency and care. It's like watching a beautiful duet—where plates and glasses are the choreography and customer delight is the standing ovation. The food? Oh, bella vita! I had a salad so fresh, it may have whispered compliments back at me. My friend’s pasta dish was a carb-laden poem—tender, flavorful, and divine. Each bite was a crescendo of Italian bliss. Clearly, the kitchen staff channels their inner Da Vinci every time they plate a dish. If this restaurant were a movie, it would sweep the Oscars. If it were a song, it would top the charts. If it were a unicorn, it would be the kind that sprinkles magic over your life. To Declan, Jennifer, and the entire Fontina Grill team: Grazie mille ❤️! And "Un milione di grazie." 🌹🌹🌹 You made me feel special, seen, and incredibly grateful. Never changing. Ever. IN SUMMARY: **Fontina Grill is, without question, the pinnacle of Italian dining—an experience of unparalleled excellence. 🍷✨ Every detail, from the service to the cuisine, resonates with authentic passion and flawless execution. Simply put, it is the *apex* of EPIC Italian culinary artistry and the finest I have ever encountered. 🍝🌟** You become alive when you have gone to Fontina Grill - or maybe you will even become a unicorn 🍀🌟🦄 ITALIAN MAGIC PIXIE DUST WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER 🙏“

Being of Sicilian descent, I noticed they had some familiar foods you can’t just get anywhere and made a reservation. What a pleasant surprise! From the carpaccio and arancini appetizers, pasta and risotto to the gelato and cannoli desserts, everything was 5 stars. We will be back in the spring!“
